Re: Straight track

Hi Anand

No, there is no workaround/patch that I am aware of, anybody else?

Maybe this will be some day possible, but I guess if it is going ever to 
happen it will be maybe i 3-5 years from now, so not anytime soon (I 
plan to have traffic like scenarios with split/joints/crossings/dead 
ends, and a drag strip is just stating from a dead end driving to 
another dead end with 2 different measuring points).

So this would be a much more flexible model than now, where you will be 
able to model city like scenarios, circuits, drag strips/rally stages, 
ROC like scenarios, configurable semantic of measuring points, etc.

If you need a "drag strip only" modification I think that is doable with 
some hundred lines of code, maybe in 2-5 days (depending on the 
requirements/feature set), but this would be a "too specialized" feature 
to go into TORCS, but if you need it for your project, just do it:-)

Best regards

Bernhard
