Probably the only short snag I had was working out how to rotate and free fly around in Mapview.exe (lol), turns out just holding CTRL gives you mouse look and you can move with the arrow keys! Duh! I haven't really had too many dramas getting this far and having a rideable and quite enjoyable track for both 250 and 450's. I had to reprocess my heightmap a few times, lengthen some bumps and humps, and I decided to remove the layer I made for the grooves using the satellite image, as it was just simply too rough/sketchy and not fun to ride. but I did enough to get it working and keeping laptimes with a couple of checkpoints. I haven't really figured out the science behind the Centerline, Start, Pit's in TrackED.exe etc. how to scale the track correctly and get it into the sim.

I figured out the process to compile everything I need. Thanks mate! I've been reading through the Text Guide thread by PhiliaN and the general help thread started by Ruubs, there's a lot in there that has been really helpful. This is my progress so far!Īnd some terrain only renders - I'm really not sure if it's a good idea to have baked ruts into my height map already.Īll feedback welcome! It's very early days but hopefully I can get something running in the sim over the next few days. I haven't gotten to the import process yet but have been rendering my progress as a 3D object with a version of the satellite image that I retouched for colour as well. I've started by making a height map using a satellite image as a template and tracing around it - I have no idea what the sim scale will be like, I haven't seen any info on scaling in the threads here but my HM and CM are at 4096+1 but my render mesh is slightly lower poly. I love racing sims, and I love creating, so those two passions combine once again since I've discovered that Piboso had released a MX Sim (I do own MX Simulator and have previously considered that game a masterpiece but gone slightly stale due to slow development) - MX Bikes is just what I was looking for (without looking!) so naturally I decided to play with the track tools and make my first experiment something that is loosely based on my local MX track (Cambridge Motocross in Tasmania, AUS) with added gnarly factor - not that I've ever ridden it in real life. People might know of me as the author of a mod racetrack originally designed for Assetto Corsa that got ported (without my permission) to GP Bikes, called Baskerville Raceway.

Totally new around here and new to MX Bikes in general (2 weeks in and loving it!).
