At first, it was the very first time I use the editor. So not everything is so like I have it in mind. But I hope you see my Idea.

I think about a Drag Strip on Storage Yard with a light and some saftey Features to make sure (or nearly sure) that nobody can ruin it.

I dont found the lights in Objects, so I use the green things for their position. Two Lights, so you can see them from start line. Going normal Red>Green in a intervall.

Maybe my finish area is a little bit to short. With fast cars (like the one on pictures) i come with around 170 kph over the line. With hard bracking you can stop in the bales.
The Ramps should make sure, that nobody from outside interupt the Drag Race. Maybe they can be a little bit flatter.
The Barriers should make sure, that no idiot can crash from the side. And the start area should make possbile to enter from both sides in a regulated way.

The green pillows in the middle of the Finish line have only one function: To see who hit the line first. You can better see who hit it away, than you get discussions. Not perfect, but I think for that OK.

Hope you like it. I think a Drag Strip there would be hugh fun. Smile

edit: And maybe a bridge over it would be a good idea.

I'm not sure how many objects are left but if there are enough, I don't see any harm in this at all. Maybe not a bridge though, that'd surely leave us with too few objects if there isn't already a shortage.

I like the idea... maybe in another part of the stunt area or another place entirely.. it wouldn't be a good idea to block such a large portion of the stunt area.. btw an uphill ramp would make an excellent braking area while clearing the containers.. if the whole thing was to be jammed in the corner...

Cool idea but why not make it run down the side

And a ramp at the end for the extra hhh

Brixton · 2017-02-05, 21:49

I havent know that there is a maximum for objects.

Maybe it can be in such a place, that it used some of the containers as barrier as well.
And only one back-line. That should save up many objects. Tomorrow I can think new about it (and learn more of the editor).

But I´m already happy, that some user like the idea.

Brixton · 2017-02-06, 14:06

Have search a good place and think thats the best one. It end before the barrier In/Out Stunt Zone, so there are no layout change needed (its just more slowly.

It use less objects (>100 less) in cause of the left side is a natural barrier. It´s a little bit wider, so there is less risk to touch the oponent.

At the place of the red (whatever these red stacks are called, sorry Laugh

) there should be the light (echt of every side).

The finish area is enought to break every car I guess. I try RB4, XFR and FZ5 with not bad setups. And the bales and the banner will do the rest.

The entrance to the rallystage is more narrow, but normaly you come out here with 50 kph or straight in case of chase. So it should be not a difficult. Only the pit area can be a problem, cause its to narrow now. Maybe it can change on the other side of the container?

Run it down the side +1 so that it reduces the amount of objects used.
And if *there is* still leftover objects maybe a short (discretion needed) drift course. Just a few cones and banners.

Would make the storage yard more interesting, instead of just 2 ramps Smile

-1, and If it was for me, I will remove those 2 ramps.

Maybe was a bad experience, or just bad moment when I played on blackwood since the update. But, if I had connected 5 times, just for arround of 10 hours in total, it was very hard to do a chase cause everyone was at storage yard. Im aware that it's very funny to do stunts, ram others, and have some fun with the ramps, its obviously, sometimes I do the same, but, we're playing on a COP and ROBER server, not on a server for stunts.

Building this drag strip, and adding you're drifting idea, will catch the attention of some more, and will reduce the traffic on the rest of the map, loosing then the main idea of this server.

Aware of that myself. Slightly hating my own idea lol

Am taking time to see if storage yard can be made into an extended industrial park. Editing it at the moment, it can be done but then BL racetrack would just have to be a racetrack, due to object limitation. Of course the other thing is to just cordon off BL track completely, and just focus on making the inners of the Industrial area way more city like.

Will update once the layout is... complete?

Brixton · 2017-02-09, 19:45

It should not make, that the people only stay on storage yard. But Drag Racing is hugh fun. I think it should only be on this map. Like a special sight for Blackwood.

A drift area is to much I think. Because it´s not realy needed. You have the container to drift around. But you have no lights and no proper finish line. I realy hope admins will think about it. I can make it better (have tested the editor much in the last days). Don´t know if it is possible to load my file as part into the server map layout.

dyzio2206 · 2017-02-09, 20:12

There are 2 main stunt zones... the one is the car park and the other one is the storage yard.. tc can utilize both... one for drift track and one for drag. With minimal layut it should be fine.. while not hurting the overall functions of the map

Brixton · 2017-02-18, 09:17

Only want to ask: Is this Drag Strip still possible and in diskussion for TC? If yes, should I make something more or upload some files?
