Kevin my honest feelings about this is the editor is so easy to use that there will be a zillion kids making slap up tracks. They wont need any additional help. Just take your time and go through each stage one at a time and play around. It wont take long.

Yeah.. but I like dth evid as it gave me a nice feel of how it all worked in a short amount of time while watching the video.. Less of my time fawkin around inside the editor..

When Armadillo came out Rainbow released a nice little quick tutorial video to explain the features of the armadillo.

If they do not do the same this time around for the MVA track creator would TD be willing to put something together? Because I remember the video tutorial helped me understan Amradillo quickly. And because it is not a webpage with screen shots, it is easier to follow.

Mike,  I always thought your tracks were too good for MCM 2.  What I mean by that is that the MCM 2 bike could not ride your tracks they way that it should be able to.  The MCM 2 bike wasn't capable of taking advantage of what your tracks offered. 

I'm hoping that you re-make some for MVA so that we can see what it's like with a bike that rides bumps better and slips in the turns.

Wow!
Thanks Bruce for the nice compliment and if we have a way of doing that I will try it out and maybe I will be able to talk some of these guy's into whipping up some awesome textures for them being that I'm colored blind. If you guy's are bored here's what I've been up to over the past 2 yrs. and has taken up so much time. You will notice I've done alot of traveling and had some funs times. I will be featured in our Town Newspaper tomorrow and it will be about a recent National Park Calendar Contest I won with the first photo.

Mikemach, I always loved your AMA replicas for MCM2. I couldn't compare them to how realistic they were, but they always provioded a challenge and definately reduce the amount of unrealsitic distance one could get in MCM2.

And I agree Twisted there. Your tracks were too advanced for MCM2, but you had to work with what you were given. I hoope you make a great return for MX vs ATV and make AMA replicas yoru first priority

If MTX can get a Track Editor with the powers of Dillo, that would be great. But a better track editor is useless if you can't play user created tracks online. If this can be done then yes, MTX would replace MCM2. What would help though is allow in game chat like MCm2 had just prior to game launch.

And about Flatout, man its a fun and funny game. Hopefully that track can get a track editor too whn the US version is released as well as skins.

The STock MCM2 tracks are great, they have plenty of lines and it doesnt take you 1/2 a lap to get back on rythm. MTX Stock tracks are the same way. You screw up, just ride out the straight and hopefully the next corner will give you the room you need to get the speed you need for the next section.

However its the user created tracks that take nearly 1/2 a lap or even 1 lap to get your speed back. No matter what game you will have this problem because some creators don't take it into consideration that if you screw up you need at leats soem space in order to make up speed.

My comments on MTX, its a fun game.... for a week or two. I finished the SX and the Nat, i am not into FMX so I wont truely fully finish the game. But what, there is 16 tracks? A tad boring if you ask me. Sure I can make my own, but my creation is limited to the horrible track editor, and unable to play it in multiplayer sucks the big one. After playing MTX I have contacted my friend who I gave my copy of MCM2 to so his lil brother could play it. So I am getting it back this weekend to install it, I have not had the game installed in about 2 years.

Everybody asks, what will bring back MCM2... maybe MTX on itself will bring back MCM2. MTX has brought out the beast in me who loves MX, but MCM2 is by FAR the better game.
