A modulable track creator modality?

Hi all!
I know that Assetto Corsa is also made with the idea to easily guest custom community contents. And it's a great stuffs!

But I wouldn't dislike if there would be a modality where you can create your own circuit with a modulable schema.
Just to give an example, I could mention TrackMania, but obviously I would expect something more realistic.

There would be something similar in Assetto Corsa?

 

Hehehe!
Ok, it's great to give precedence to more important stuffs!
[Hey! Who said "Nordschleife"? Ah... was me! ]

PS: It would be really possible to add a custom mod like that in Assetto Corsa by community?

 

Do you think a "private" from community could actually do a mod like that for Assetto Corsa?

 

What you want is a super friendly track editor for dummies. I don't think Kunos will make it, I don't think anyone will make it. So don't hold your breath.

 

I guessed Kunos wouldn't do it from the first replay.
But I don't see what's wrong about stuffs for dummies, if they're well done.
Also assistances on cars are for dummies, aren't they?

If stuffs "for dummies" are well done, they just let much more people to express their creativity. And maybe with time, the stimulated creativity and curiosity would bring them to an higher level, and we would have much more quality contents.

Sometimes the hardness to start something, make most of creative memebers surrender, at give up the idea to create.
That's the same thing for driving assistances: without them, some newbyes players would give up the idea to approach a simulator.

For example, I give up the idea to well setup a car. I can't really go over some basical values.

So I dont' see why nobody should be interested on doing stuffs for dummies.

 

Also I didn't mean to insult anyone, by "for dummies" I meant:

 

Yep Si3v, I got your point about time involving.
At the very end, I also prefer you involve your time to do more cars, tracks and driving modalities (or whatelse could make our driving experience better... and I would really like a "setup modality for dummies" anyway! ).

My answer was for Radek, the most.
But anyway, I didnt' really mean to convert Trackmania made stuffs to Assetto Corsa! It would be senseless!
I mentioned Trackmania only to give an example about what I meant for "modulable tracks". But I expect the ending "product" to looklike a REAL track, not an amusement park.

Understood Radek, but it's not about insulting, it's about the total certainty you expressed about "for dummies" should means "nobody will do it".
The suggested stuff it's for dummies (no doubt about it!), but it doesn't so matematically means nobody will do it!
Or at least, I hope so!
It would be a very elitist behaviour from community... which wouldn't be good at all for the community itself!

 

With all due respect, that wouldn't be much desirable or even feasible.

A minimally acceptable quality track for any good racing simulator has so many variables and different geometries that is almost impossible to create a simple friendly-user tool for track creation as some games (and not simulators) have.

I think a software like TrackMania track editor just will add tons of similar and uninteresting tracks and probably the worse ones certainly will be used unjustly by detractors as to depress AC quality, upload stupid and unfair videos to Youtube and feed goosipmongers in fanboys forums.

I'd highly recommend (for those that are interested) to learn Sketchup, 3dsMax, Maya or other 3d softwares (there're free ones as Blender), It's quite arduous at beginning but it's much more rewarding after some months of study.

 

I heard GT5 and GT6 have something similar, though I don't own a PlayStation and GT games to test it directly. So I never saw it actually.
I know AC is far better to simulate than GT, but surely GT it's not intended to be an arcade (it's just "different level of simulation", for what I know).
EDIT: Note: I'm not saying "GT6 has it, so I pretend in AC!", 'cause I know they have very different budgets! I'm just saying: it shows it's possible!

Maybe I mistook to make the example of Trackmania, 'cause now you're too fixed on the idea of Trackmania's style.

From my point of view, actualy, it could be possible to build an "accurate" while still "simple" track builder, maybe as third part, and not integrated in the game.
And even make possible, from there, to save to different videogames formats!

It's a matter to be able to design and create a complete (as user frendly) interface.
The rest it's about converting the track from program's workspace to game format file.
(I'm not saying it's easy or fast or whatelse: it's surely a commiting stuff, but still possible, in my opinion.)

Surely it would be limited, compared to 3D Making Softwares, but would be a lot more user friendly and immediate
Also I can imagine it's not only a matter of 3D shapes, when you do a track: shouldn't it be also about what's track, what's off-track and setup an AI paths as suggested trajectory and similar stuffs?)

 

I can ensure you that there will be lot of uninteresting tracks even with 3D Making Softwares you mentioned!
But also lot of well-intentioned and talented creators could be limited and discouraged by the hardness to learn and get results from such 3D Making Softwares.

Creativity and Talent != Ability with PC Software

 

Would be nice.
