I just checked in new terrain/parametric maps for Road Atlanta and Nurburgring, in an attempt to reduce the amount of turns with higher inside elevations that outside. There are still some like this and there's not a lot I can do.Basically, I went around the entire track and drew linear gradients on it which follow the track. In the curves I drew the gradients by hand, on the straights I used the Gimp's gradient tool. It is pretty tedious to do this...regardless, after spending about an hour completely redoing the terrain around the track, I loaded it into VDrift to find that even though my tracks were "flat" at least across the width of the track, the heights of the terrain on the track is still heavily influenced by the terrain around it. This means that the track is now slighly less skew but still not all better.The TORCS method of making tracks - track editor -> XML file -> model sounds pretty good to me. It seems like we could load this model for the track and define the rest of our scene however we like in other files defining the terrain, etc., and let the track model simply rest on top of it. I am installing TORCS and the track generation utilities now to see if I can learn more about them and how we could possibly use them.edit: Here's a
