I agree. Could be cool. But your settings must be changed for one map only.

Anyone know what the "weight" of each graphic option is in the settings?
A list of each options system load and benefits would be nice to reference.

from my experience, shaders, water/car reflections, 2d/3d decals and compatibility->light from map are the most demanding ones.

@Omnixor :

I am currently working on custom shader for TM2 Canyon, TM2 Valley, TM2 Stadium and ShootMania.

Thanks for your feedback and inputs. This reply is not so much an argument but rather another view of these things...

Neither Stadium nor Coast have Blacktop roads with no sides on them. They both have edges that keep you on the track or prevent you from getting back on if you do manage to fly off. What would be different with the suggested F1-GT style is track edges would be little more than rumbles strips, sand traps or open grass with maybe some tire walls to catch you if needed. More gradual hills so you don't get air off every slope at speed and a car with quicker acceleration/deceleration and down force would give a very different performance. Laguna Seca is a good example of the type of track and racing you could build with this kind of environment.

Yes but you can't build your own tracks in Spintires. Thus the beauty of TM.

Scrapped or set aside for now? There are still a lot of people interested and it could be fun.

TM1 Snow does not have hard packed snow roads or banked snow turns. Take a look at Dirt 3 snow tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NpjKKsnBws
Very, very different. TM1 Snow was fun enough for its time but a vehicle with some power and roads with snow on them would be much more fun.

See the difference between these and MarioKart?

if there is an update to Valley, please add such an alley... vAlley



Interfacelift has other nice and free wallpapers:



And this could be Canyon:

Those two topics I made before really sums up for what I hope for a new environment

And also something like the TM1 Island but I believe Lagoon will be that and if yes I'm looking really forward to it

TMarc:
Those photos are awesome. One day the games will look like that and pc's will be able to run them.
Filipe1020:
I remember those topics, and in fact many of your ideas and others from around these forums were brought together to form this one. I think you have some cool ideas.
In fact, there are so many good ideas people have come up with, I wish Nadeo could bring us ten more new environments, but Nadeo will likely do the most feasible ones that fit their time plans.

If all game stop unrealistic lens flares, better ambiant occlusion ( Tm² got a really good ambiant occlusion ), and if there is a realistic tonemapping, any game can be like that.
