But then it's not really that interesting of a gamemode, imo.

I totally agree. This would be very nice and interesting!

Maybe at first the possibility to change the Cars at Checkpoints or to make GameModes with two or more kind of cars.

And then as second, the Change to a complete new Vehicle. To realise there must be new Enviroments.
I read about an idea about a hovercraft envi or a Speedboat Envi. A Plane or Anti-Gravity Envi, would be great,too.

And once such Envis are released, NADEO could add the option to make Gamemodes combining the Vehicles.
But that will take much long time to realize. And nothing for the near Future.

But at the actual state of the Game, it makes no sense. That's what i think.

Ahem: It's been done before in TMU. See the most awarded track ever, 'Trackmania | The Trump Card II by Crusard.'

I played this track. It's not a transformed race, it's just a boat texture fixed on the screen, put via MediaTracker with camera attached to car driving above visible part.

What we discuss here is direct switch of vehicle on a checkpoint (eg. Canyon Car => Stadium Car). No trickery, no unnecessary MediaTracker with dirty tricks - just an ability for game mode to swap model on the fly, without need to respawn the player, keeping position and momentum.

...and maybe these boats or planes, but that doesn't really fit TM, SM would benefit more from them.

Unless Nadeo makes a Boatmania :D (Which for the record, I would LOVE, as much as I would LOVE to have something like Planemania)

Oh gosh, a Planemania already gets me sooo excited. I have so many ideas in my head already :P

This is a funny and interesting idea :thumbsup:
but then I would prefer an own block that switches the car, and not mix it with the CheckPoint.

Sounds cool for playing once or twice, but not interesting for the long term.
