Random Track Generator

Even if you are a good driver, it's hard to compete in online racing, because there are all these people that have time to be racing 4 hours each day, and they know each track better then the roads from their home to work. Wouldn't it be great if the next multiplayer open road sim was able to generate a new track for each race? Just a tought. Jone Tytlandsvik

Yeah we had a couple of talks during all those years in r.a.s. about random terrain generator. I personally think the technology today is well enough acceptable for that. Just look at the almost "fractalesque" terrain of Tribes 2, Operation Flashpoint or Motocross Madness. It would more be for creating a real-life environment for racing/driving then an enclosed circuit. Events like off-road racing (Baja 1000) or long Rallies could be simulated (Paris-Dakar). Or else, perhaps create a big virtual world that has 100km x 100km, for a start World War II Online has some pretty good terrain modelling even if it means limited graphics and so. It still fits on a CD-Rom. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

I think that'd be pretty cool, although there would probably be a lot more luck involved than skill at that point... Hmm... That sounds kind of fun, actually :0) Todd Wasson --- Performance Simulations Drag Racing and Top Speed Prediction Software http://PerformanceSimulations.Com

Is there a lot of luck involved when you drive your real car on a road you have never been before? I know what you mean. Just couldn't resist. :) Players had to be careful if they wanted to finish at all. Jone.
