Hi all. Sorry if this is a dumb request. I am trying to find a decent tutorial on creating a track from scratch. I have seen a few attempts but most just tell you what software to use with out any clue on how to put it all together. I really need a step by step tutorial that creates even just a simple track with scenery, buildings, trees, grass etc. As for the end use of the track, well, MM2 would be cool but at the moment I am not too fussy. Any software will do as long as it works ok. I have seen some of the free software and they have not been that great, not that I am complaining mind you. After all, they are free :-). Thanks to anyone who can steer me in the right direction :-P Manfred

Tracks aren't created, they evolve.......ooops, sorry, wrong NG :-) I don't know to be honest, but my guess would be to start with GPL for the simple fact that there's a large community out there making tracks and there are plenty of tools and documentation, the GPLEA website is probably a good place to start Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
