Hi everybody !
Tired of seeing the suggestion thread board spoiled with not fully-thought suggestions, I decided to offer you the possibility of making your own track !
Let's be sure, you won't be able to include it in LFS now, but creating it well might help it be included in the game.
Let me clarify some things : the questions you might be asking yourself is "If the devs don't want to include new tracks in LFS, why should I bore myself "designing it" instead of just giving the idea about one kind of track, because the result will be the same". This statement is FALSE.
The more details you give about your track, the better chance it will have to be included in the game or to serve as an inspiration source for Eric. The way to do it is simple. You just have to fill the form, which will help giving as much details as you can to give the most precise idea of the track. You are not required to fill all of the fields if you don't feel like, but some are mandatory (in bold ) to be registered in the contest.
I will list all of them below and will start a new thread with a poll in a couple of weeks when we have enough diversity to allow the community to show which they prefer (and wish to be included in LFS).
So, here are the details you need to give us to enter the contest :
Track Name :
Number of layouts :
Surface Type : (Asphalt, Gravel, other - precise which)
Location : (Either a track built-on purpose or an on-road track, like SO - if it is the case, please tell us where (city/country/...)
General scenery surrounding the place : (spectator seats/buildings/mountain/forest/sea/...)
Map : (the path like in the LFS Track Selection menu / details such as elevation -http://www.lfsforum.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=67137&d=1222719299 - with the value in feet/meters - , width of the road, length of the straight(s), sectors/splits, scenery - bridge/trees/type of run-off area if applicable/... - , pits, banking of the corners... are not mandatory but VERY WELCOME (and better chances for you to be elected)).
Scenery of each part of the track : (Fern Bay Black has different scenery / SO alternate between highway and narrow street)
Grip level : (1 to 10, 10 being the grippiest)
Which car class is it suitable for ? : (either Street/GTR/Formulas or individual classes -UF1/XFG-XRG/Baby-GTR/...)
Which weather/hour : (like "Cloudy Sunset" or "Clear Day" / NO NIGHT OR RAIN)
Can you help design/model/draw a small image of it ? :
REMEMBER ! Only genuinely new tracks will be accepted as part of the contest. New layouts on existing venues, such as "Westhill 1950's", no matter how good they are, don't fit into this category !
The more you think about your track, the better chances it has to be elected by the community/selected by the devs !
Good luck everyone, and please come with interesting tracks for all the community ! Please be original, especially about the scenery, to help create a better experience than the one we already have !
I will update periodically this topic when I have new suggestions ! ;)
Sincerely yours,
