just a thought (maybee for s2final or the long awaited rally pack:x )

what about filling in all the gaps in blackwood's surrounding area, i don't mean the scenery, it's just that given the use of some surrounding roads (up to the perimiter fence) would mean we could actually start doing time trials, rallies etc, not to mention enjoy puttering about on actual roads, i'm not asking to be let loose amongst the grandstands, or a complete free-roam, just a continuation of the already existing service roads around the track. i feel this would be worth the time taken.

I taught about this already when S1 wasn`t out.

But i STILL love this idea.

Sounds cool. And once they fill in that huge hole next to the kerb at the first chicane it'll be perfect :D

Or south city free roam. That is a city, it would be awesome when all the streets were open.

Lol, i think Blackwood has been 'expanded' a lot already !

At first, i thought :
"oh, this must be some demo user asking for more content again"
Glad to see it's not the case ;)

I'm with Liquid LiOn, i've been asking for 'free roam' for a while.
The quick answer was that it's not that easy because every config
has it's own collision and reset zones and so on. The other thing i heard
is that, according to some, this would need a LOT of ressources and
our PCs would surely explode!! Ok, so maybe not, but some say it
would monopolise too much ressources. Oh well, i give the benefit of the doubt,
but the vaster the tracks become, the more i don't believe this is true,
but simply an opinion.

As much as i respect the devs and think their autocross editor is cool,
i find this useless on most tracks and would LOVE to be able to use this
to create our OWN layouts on 'open' tracks. That small oval beneath the
underpass in South City comes to mind...hehe. It's funny, because the
other day i was wondering thinking about this and wondered where i'd put
the pits, hehe.
