MKL: The 400 tracks are...too many to rate them.
The track made by you is nice, esp. because of the icy roads after bends, making it more difficult to correct the driving line.
But the replays don't show high fly, they show losing. You start, drive a minute over the grassland and then stop anywhere, ending the replay. Really exciting. 
But thank you. It will help me to survive the following days.

MKL: Usually one doesn't need the original track to see the replay. I could watch a replay called "default" playing on the default track before Zkribbler sent it to me (the track, not the replay, I had this before), and there were no problems. But I think that you sent the wrong replays. Actually I have one of the tracks used in your replays, it's the one you sent to me, MD_1 !!
There aren't even any stuations being able to produce a high fly. ???? 
I think those were the wrong replays, don't you agree?

I finally got a chance to run MD_1. It is a stupendous first effort! 
The beginning is devilishly evil, with a chicane leading into a jump.  That was my favorite part. My second favorite was the banked U-turn around the central valley, leading to the loop and then to the jump over the building!
Some ways to make it better: On the first banked curve, you can drop out one of the three banked lead-ins. You never need more than two. But no biggie.
The only really necessary change is at the end of the long westward run that ends with the banked turn near the start-finish line. There, you have only one banked lead-in, and you really should have two. (That's where I lost control & spun out.) If you do add another banked lead-in, you should move the entire corner one square to the left because you need all of the short straight-away that you have now to land on when you come flying down from the mesa.
The next banked curve by the tube could also use another banked lead-in.
Finally, on the last banked curve, did you purposely put in that long banked road? It's okay if you did it for a purposely--I did a track years ago called "Tilt" which took that effect to an extreme.
I'm also sending you my track "OnYrToes." It's probably too tough for a beginner, but it shows the technique I use building small towns.

Zkribbler: Could you also send it to me?
MKL: Well, I've also made some but most of them have been test-tracks to test out the AI and high fly and speed control with 345 mph in banked corners. No real challenges. Aren't worth to be shown to others, believe me.
About the track time: I'll manage it.
To prevent the overwriting of the top score of a track just make a backup of "trackname.HIG" befoer re-saving the track. Then copy the backup in the folder overwriting the newly-created, empty ".hig"-file. On this way you can manage a "20 second-time" on a 10-minutes-track. But that's cheating...

MKL: I mailed you a comment to bouncy. IT DOESN'T SHOW ANY SPECTACULAR THINGS!!! Just a small crash and then 2 minutes nothing. What about my replays I sent to you a few days ago, MKL?
Zkribbler: I received your track. I'll play it and in a few hours I can give you some feedback.

Oh, sorry. I put in the folder, and haven't looked at it. Hopefully I'll be able to see yours ok, because I don't know what's going on with the replays I'm sending you. With 'bouncy' I miss a jump, hit a windmill (i think?) fly up in the air, fall towards an icy crossroad about 30-40 seconds later, bounce back in the air, fly sideways until i hit the edge of the track (in the air), fall to ground again, bounce back up in the air sliding along the perimiter until i finally land again, and this time don't bounce. It's a doozy. I wish you could see it ok. I don't know what's gone wrong with those replays...

Well, "Bouncy" doesn't show this but that happened to me. It's strange that the car in the replay MISSES the mill and stays on the ground...
so, have you checked my replays? just curious...

Accolade? I always thought that stunts wouldn't be made by accolade but by mindscape...
the way my replays didn't work on your stunts is the same way as yours didn't show REAL action on mine... very strange.
Has anyone outside of MKL and me tried out some others' replay? Now I become really curious about this thing...
|

And I'm pretty sure it's Mindscape. I don't hope that we have in fact different versions from different publishers. That could explain our replay-problem. BTW, Accolade made many racing games, you perhaps mixed them up...

Well, here are some other things:
1. I managed to break the highscore in MD_1. I made it in 3 : 39.60, I think.
2. My top time on the very Default track is 1 : 09.25 . What are your best times on the Default track. I mean the real Default track.
3. There's a way to edit the terrain in the track editor. Anyone wants to know how? You can put in hills and lakes...curious?

Well, while being in the track editor just hit [SHIFT] + [F1] to activate the terrain editor. [F1] to reactivate the track editor.

Yes, it doesn't seem to be a worthy successor...

broderbound? now it's getting really weird...
don't you see a "mindscape" logo when starting?
yes, the shift+F1 thingy is cool, but the publisher question is much more interesting for me...
