When it says update needed, it's telling you the source buffer and the actual track are different. When you press 'u' it will copy the track buffer to the source buffer. As an example, if you set a gradient to 10 feet and start drawing in add mode, it will raise the ground by 10 feet but no higher. If you then press 'u', it will add onto the previous values and go to 20 feet where you draw over the same spots.

yeah, i dont know how to use this track editor, is there any video turtorials or what?
Cause i have big great ideas for this track but i dont know how to make it or how to change the coulor of the ground, how to make a jump or anything im so dumb.
So if someone could make a video or give me step by step instruction's through like skype or msn or something it would be great.
