Default Track

This is the first one I like. It looks small but you have to think on a larger scale, if I made it to look bigger the space between each lane barrier looked retarded. Its an offroad track, so when you draw them on paper, you draw the shape of the area you have then draw the barriers and you have a layout. A little different on here.

Kinda open for all the classes, had MT probs last year.

I wish there was software to make tracks in 3D showing different elevations, sloppes for drainage and stuff.

That is some hot stuff man! what did you use to make those? BTW, the only thing I have seen that can do 3D is AutoCAD but that has a steep learning curve (or so I've heard)

I made a few tracks but I had to create some new tiles with square corners. I want to make more tiles but I only know how to overwrite old tiles so I dont want to lose anymore of the existing tiles. All the corners at my track are square because it is built with long pieces of wood. The reason for the big red blocks is because our track has a city water dept pump house in the corner and a telephone pole in the top-middle that is boxed around.

This was the layout at my local track 2 weekends ago when we hosted the OCC Series :


Here is one I designed to roughly fit the same space:

Those are nice man. what I would do is talk to the guy who wrote that program. If you go to the link I posted where you can download the program, there should be a link for emailing the guy who wrote TrackMaker (all I know is that he is called Zanthrax on the message boards, or at least the one where I first found this program the RadioControlZone www.radiocontrolzone.com ) and see if he could rewrite it with more tile options, both on and offroad. that is all I could recommend.
