timing gates

[karlwb]

1.does the number of timing gates have much effect on how a track runs?
2.every timing gate shows gap to next rider,is it possible to switch that off,so you can have say 20 gates but only 2 give time gaps?
3. are there any solid low poly trees available for public use?

1) The order dosent matter, you actually tell the game what order to count the timing gates in.

2) No I don't think so, not sure why you'd want to anyway

3) What do you mean by solid? You could always fake collision if you needed to.

1. no what i meant was,how cpu intensive are timing gates,if you have many does it contribute to freeze problems etc

2. i'd like to see what its like racing on a long circuit where you only get that info at halfway and lap finish

3. statues as opposed to billboards

The CPU load doesn't change much since the game only checks for the next few gates.
