Hiya.
I've finally started having a look at the new stunt props in creator, with a mind to creating something. The problem arises with the new stunt tracks: They look great, but what doesn't look so great is curb boosters zig-zagging their way through the circuit. Before I create a new track I want to get peoples opinions who have more experience with the new creator, how this can be minimised.
I've looked at sinking the tracks into the ground slightly, however even if you sink the road so that only the rumble strips are showing there is still a slight boost to be gained from going over the strips. You can sink the track with barrier into the ground so that only the barrier is showing, however you then lose the rumble strip which I want to try and keep in the race.
I am now considering using the Slow Down pads by the side of the road in certain strategic areas (obviously set to weak) to achieve this. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think the slow down effect would be too much even on weak (I wish there was a "very weak" option)
It would essentially give you a time punishment for going outside the track limits, but there may be a potential problem if 2 people are racing bumper to bumper and the one in front hits the pad.
Again, thoughts in general on this idea, or any other suggestions for fighting curb boosting in races would be most welcomed, cheers
