The Map Editor Campaign [This is useless, don't bother reading]

[Sulphuric_Glue]

Post here if you would like to have a Map Editor in Assetto Corsa! If this campaign becomes large enough, maybe we will get the creators attention!

map editor ? last time i looked this was a racing sim not an fps,do you mean track editor?

No.
You should be able to make entire maps, not just tracks in pre-built terrain.
What if you want majestic mountains surrounding your track, or a wonderful lake?
A map editor can do all these things, a track editor cannot.

What games have you played that have a track editor other than Trackmania, I mean, a proper track editor, not just a modular snap-on track.

NetKar Pro had one, and the terrain was part of it, I'm pretty sure you could do what you are describing. Most tracks outside of the track editor from Trackmania are made with 3D models, which CAN have mountains surrounding them, for example, take a look at a lot of the best tracks from rFactor.

I do not have much experience in map editors, the only other ones I can use with success are the Civ 5 map editor and the tool used to make Tower Wars maps (can't remember what it is called)

[Sulphuric_Glue]

Technically it isn't a MAP as such, but I can create countries in Democracy 3 as well.

I would like to see something like the Live for Speed Track Editor. It allowed you to place barriers and cones in the car park. This was quite useful for making your own small tracks.

You know this is a racing sim, right?
If your attention more than 3 metres wide of the track surface, you've probably purchased the wrong product.

While they both contain cars, most other comparisons between AC and TrackMania are apples to oranges.

AC doesn't need a casual in-built track creator, because it'd fall infinitely short of the standards established throughout the rest of the product. If you want to add tracks, you need to sink hours and hours and hours and hours into it like the modders do.

Let's let the devs complete the sim before we ask for superfluous fluff.

This! +1. When the product is complete, there should be enough content to keep us plenty busy for a long time. I'd prefer to sim race on laser scanned tracks not some crap that some dude puts together in 20 minutes. If you have the patience you can use the mod tools when those are released. This isn't a game. It is a racing simulator.

No mater if some need their opinion to be a fact for everybody else, the truth is that people see things (or a game in this case) the way they like. It is fun and it is their right to see it as fun. Don't be so serious. If you want to learn how to drive for real, don't mess with a sim, wait till you become 18 and buy a car. I would love an easy world/track editor as well.

There is a map creator, it's called 3ds max/blender. You can make anything, literally. The surroundings, the track, the trees, the grass..

[acajoom]

yeah but this is not something simple at all, you need to learn almost everything and spend months on it. Good to do so I agree, but ... but ..

[SeriousSpy]

It's not happening.

Posting this in the steam forums, so the developers will definitely read it? You're not very smart, are you?

Forget it, it's dating back to January.

The lack of easy-to-use modding tools hasn't stopped plenty of tracks being made.

Does nobody look at dates of threads before they comment.

I know! It pisses me off to no end.
