Have you seen this page? Some helpful hints there about smoothing out the flat parts to the hill parts.

I like the lake in the corner to prevent anybody cutting across for a short cut. Hills work well in the same way.

Start / finish line can be anywhere. It's always nice to have a bit of a straight stretch just before the finish so you have a chance to race it out.

Since you're using farmroad then trees and a barn and a few cows are always fun. If you check Mal's page, you might like some of the evo conversion models.

i'll have to check out mals models. also i've always had trouble smoothing out hills. i'll figure it out someday.

single point direct edit tool is always usefull when you need some fine smoothing.

added some cows to the lake corner and also some hills and a billboard and smoothed out transition a bit.

Now you're talkin'! All tracks without cows suck imho Wink

The best advice I could ever offer is to just take your time and don't rush it. Experiment and have fun.

Hey i think a possible name for this course could be something like Hazzard county as it looks like something you would expeect to see the general lee going around especially if u have a couple of good jumps in it....over a lake or sumthing

warning its extremly unfinished. i just need some comments and stuff on the progress. Big Grin

and yes i know some of the jumps aren't finished you can take a detour to get around them. Idea

I plan to add trains. and maybe some moving cop cars to chase the general lee down? and some more hills and trees. and other objects...

Hey, that's coming along really well.

Tip. Water doesn't need to be any more than a couple feet deep.

Keep up the good work.
