These last few posts have sent me down a real rabbit hole on List syntax, Carmack, and the Ars Technica youtube channel.

If you haven't seen it, great video on Crash:

Very interesting stuff. Read this and then went down a Wikipedia hole. As a mechanical engineer with a software bias all of the optimization and such is immensely entertaining. Video game programmers are a different breed though!!

jlv I'm not sure you get enough credit for all you do for this game and the community. Thanks

Track deserves a bump.

After 10 years I finally beat shadow's time trial time with a 2:33. Now I can finally stop trying.

Fun track to burn laps on. I bet this would be a lot of fun on a server with 20 people.

Does anyone remember the epic track creator from Hawaii? He was more of an MVA guy but I just cannot remember his name. Started with a ‘W’ I thought. I guess you're referring to Wingman. If I recall correctly he had mad skills at doing textures. The same goes to Gala who only made one skin for MXS ...

ohhhhhh haha yes. Had to hop in the way-back machine to recall that one.

I’m not sure what that’s in reference to and to be honest I’m scared. Haha

Triple post but hey… anyone else been banned for ripping skins from JVDL from MVA? Dude was a legend and amazing artistic talent. Now that is some old school sim. That one actually stung to be honest. Like a straight A student going to detention. Does anyone remember the epic track creator from Hawa...

Btw Mittocs was an OG ripper. Cobra too. A few others were next level back then

Me and Mittocs and Mikey and a few others met up at MXON 2010 at Lakewood. Tried to play some sim on Mittoc’s tv and he had the game set up with the floating 3rd person cam and it was awkward af.

Fun track. Timing gate 12 is backwards and timing gate 22 is missing so laps do not score.

There was a bug a long time ago that made it use the wrong level of detail when subdividing the terrain. But fixing that bug made it look better. You're probably just not used to the larger scale values that were used back then. Probably just this yep. A quick pass with a low power smooth and all i...

I noticed this a while back on 2010 Pala, and then again on Speedworld, and a few tracks in the Track Competition 1 pack. Has there by chance been a change to the terrain rendering engine which would result in steeper angles on track (ruts, peaks of berms, etc) being more jagged than when originally...
