Yeah we had a couple of talks during all those years in r.a.s. about random
terrain generator. I personally think the technology today is well enough
acceptable for that. Just look at the almost "fractalesque" terrain of
Tribes 2, Operation Flashpoint or Motocross Madness.
It would more be for creating a real-life environment for racing/driving
then an enclosed circuit. Events like off-road racing (Baja 1000) or long
Rallies could be simulated (Paris-Dakar).
Or else, perhaps create a big virtual world that has 100km x 100km, for a
start World War II Online has some pretty good terrain modelling even if it
means limited graphics and so. It still fits on a CD-Rom.
