vinewood race track race length problem

[philmceagles]

Hello I'm trying to create a lap race there and cannot get the race over the required .62 miles on the track to make it an official race. I have tried many times and the best I can get is .61. Any suggestions are appreciated

Thanks

It can only be done on the outside of the outer track.

 

I made one like that and put up barriers at each check point

What do you mean outer track?

[GTAMYBABIES]

I am assuming you mean the track by the casino.

 

If so there is a horse track on outside and the inner track is supposedly for dogs.

The checkpoints have to be shifted up against the outer fence. If you do each one little by little until you get to .62 miles then no single one will be TOO far off center, but they will all still be "miss-able" unless you put an obstacle to keep people from going too far inside.

 

Also, FYI it can be accomplished with as few as 6 checkpoints, including start/finish.

Hi, my solution was to use "nested" checkpoints - which don't require using the outer limits of the track:

This does mean that that you drive around the course twice to complete a lap, but I prefer that, because short races

suck when you've been waiting 5+ minutes for barely 6 players...

 

 

^ by the way, that crew isn't my active crew, but if you're interested in the technical racing or bespoke deathmatches... ...let me know.

I did it thusly

Just circling that one track seems a bit boring to me.

Its possible with 8 checkpoints, that dont reqiure you to drive on the outside or complete double laps, and because the checkpoint radius is bigger than visualy shown you wont miss them.

 

it was the first race i ever created and took me a while to get right but here it is: http://rsg.ms/R7qb84

 

the trick is to postion the checkpoint 2/3 out from the middle al the way around.
