I am kinda starting to like using these open tiles. It allows for bigger tracks. This is my third experiment in using Trackmaker's open tiles

So how big is it? Is there some sort of dimensions you can put on it to put it into perspective? Anyway of telling how long the driveline is?

I counted the number of tiles along the interior (71), then counted the number of tiles along the exterior (79) and then multiplied the 2 by 4 and added them together and got about a 600ft driveline

gotta take away a bit for the width of the lines, but you're still around 7' driving lines - that looks good.
Just a couple of suggestions -
1. Make your chicanes more "chicanier" - - there's a straight line through it right now. . .which makes it a straight instead of a chicane. We know what you mean and this is more of a "can the program do it?"
2. Your cool looking jog in the upper left. . .it doesn't actually do anything there. It's a neat idea but all it does is to make the carousel turn into a, well. . .a carousel turn that's not as sharp. . .
I LIKE what you seem to be able to do with those open block things. . .

The little thing in the upper left on number 3 was kind of a last minute thing because I couldnt decide If I wanted to take it all the way across and bring it back around or create a little switch back there.
