I tried to build the:
   - TRX_LY_EOW_North
   - TRX_LY_EOW_East
   - TRX_LY_EOW_South
   - TRX_LY_EOW_West
   - TRX_LY_EOW_NW

objects from the Lynchburg track around my track and than I noticed than there is a gap between the terrain and the objects.



Have I forgotten objects or has the Lynchburg Track a size of 4096x4096?

Another one of those little known features of DE, in the scene tab there is a parameter called something like 'grid scale' set that from the drop down to 2 and it doubles the size of your terrain, so a 2048x2048 terrain height map covers 4096x4096 ft - something JamieT asked for a while back - i added it in but it might not have got much attention in the help file or release notes..

Effectively it means the distamce between each pixel in your height map is 2ft instead of 1ft. The stock tracks use this for the large open freeride areas.. So you have bigger environments but reduced resolution per ft..
