But yeah. Jesse seems to be the only one here with a brain, or maybe mason you just don't get it. You keep having this "if you don't cut the timing gates don't matter. And saying it only effects top guys. The only big cut I can remember top riders using is the glen helen finish cheat and the muddy creek line. Me leclair used it in his hot lap qualifying video.
What you don't understand mason is that you can lay down 60 timing gates on a national track and make 0 cuts that would gain any time. While having the gates inside the objects. You don't want them on the stakes. You want them on immovable u cuttable objects just outside the stakes. I could get a track and have the 60 gates done and ready within 3-5 minutes of opening editor. It's not hard. And definitely not time consuming. Let's see. AWOOD approach of 3-5min timing gate job and no worries whatsoever during races, qualifying, and have the servers lap records hold up for years and years. Or the mason approach where we devote manpower to patrolling the servers and have protests every week for qualifying. You're ridiculous and this is the one argument I've had where I literally am shocked by your inability to side with me and understand. Oh well. You seem to think me and jesse check timing gates for cuts when really it's because we have doubts on the track makers, or don't want to fuck ourselves or warn our friends about a misplaced gate
You seem to miss my point same as Jesse. The track is not "shit" by it's timing gates as you have proposed through the last few pages, if you would download the track, ride it within where you are supposed to and nothing wrong happens then what is the issue? Just
don't fucking
cut the damn track. It's that simple.. crazy isn't it? If they are willing to cheat for a qualy time then they obviously probably aren't good racers to begin with and should be banned anyways, so I say ya have protests for qualifying and weed out the bad eggs.
I know how a timing gate works, but my question is do you? Yes you can place 60 or even 80 or what ever to your hearts content BUT the chances of missing one go up very quick. Take Glen Helen (Ah I knew I got your attention) for instance if you have 10-15 gates around the hills so you don't climb the walls or ride a smooth line outside the stakes, what happens when you crash at a high speed and cartwheel past 2-3 timing gates? Or you get punted by a flying goon? You have to give breathing room but with that also comes less timing gates. I don't know if they cost performance but one would think the more you have there has to be a hit on performance somehow.
Oh and let's not get started on the whole annoying auto-align. Your bike will be confused as shit when you cartwheel past one or get pushed off the track and you will have to go backwards to go back through it to avoid penalty. Now in some spots on the track that may not be a good option because it may force you to come on the track in a bad spot. Please explain how that is to any benefit and worth the extra work? For your weekly dick measuring contest in qualifying? Big deal.
