whats the best way to go around building the track?

the easiest way for sure is btb and convert it to 3ds max. you need gps for accurate tracks, g force isnt that useful.
the most precise and clean way is 3ds max from scratch. we got a lot of tutorials here on the forum just look at the "want you track" thread sticked at the top of the tracks topic

The 30 days demo is free but then you have to pay 60€ i think.

hi everyone, finally got BTB and its all up and running i was missing a dll for some reason,

i have imported the image of the track i want to make and gone roudn it with the closed loop tool then used the open loop tool to make the pit area,

i have also imported a couple of walls but just looking and everything seems to be at different heights and when i go to change the height of everything they go crazy and i get silly hills

im still new to this and not sure how to curbs or grass,

Make sure everything is up to date graphic drivers and windows updates.

Hi guys. Went on it this morning and everything is on the same level and I can import objects. Only problem I have is the grass seems to be covering part of the circuit. What's the best way to get rid of the grass ?

There doesn't seem to be a lot of objects either. I added a curb or 2 and thn I couldn't edit the curb. I don't know if I'm being stupid but as soon as I put something in it takes me forever to figure out how to edit it

But for now iv got the track and the grass and the walls. How do I now put it into a format the game can understand ?

If you are still using BTB you will need to download Xpackers or you can make your own you will need to look on the internet at tutorials as it would take me to long to explain, there is lots of stuff you can do but you will need to learn will take time, after you have built something you will then need to convert it using 3dsmax or some other modelling program as you can export fbx files, The grass on the track is probably over lapped mesh as I say it will take time.

where can i get the xpackers so i can put it into the game,

i have made all the bits i want to make, now i want to put it into the game and see before i get to involved with it i want to make sure it works

If you look on the BTB website there is a link for the Xpacks, If I was you I would just build a track with grass and asphalt then try to convert it, It will give you some idea then you can try something bigger.
