What WILL you make with a GPS enabled or very detailed track editor?

[fordman47]

I had started a thread like this earlier in the year when it was all just speculation but now it seems to be confirmed! So lets bring on the ideas again.

1st one I want is Road America (about 40min from my house)

Another three words that come to mind are ISLE OF MAN.

Someone could run up Pikes Peak, Dragons Tail, Hoggsback...

There are a ton of routes in my local town with wicked elevation changes that would make for some great rally stages.

Can't wait.

See, that's just a huge aspect of this, the people that have access to race tracks around the world that aren't in GT can just drive around them and upload to the game. God, i can't wait.

That is a great idea to go to tracks that aren't in GT6! 👍 Would like to see what it's like to go at...not legal speeds on New Hampshire's Kancamagus Highway. Unfortunately, I don't really have a phone or tablet to use for this feature...

 

[sk8er913]

This legally answers the old question, "I wonder how fast I can get to that stoplight from here." lol, Or I can recreate the racetrackish route I did in HS!

If this also logs altitude, this is game just upped over 9000

 

[sk8er913]

so Its 9006?

 

[fordman47]

I've run a gps app for my mountain bike before, and it does log altitude, so it should.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Highway 18 should be fun

 

[White & Nerdy]

If it allows point to point, Hatcher Pass East is going in the game. Both uphill and downhill.

Yeah, that is the question. I wonder how it would cope with surrounding terrain though. After all, the road can't be floating in the air.

Chances are that it just records the horizontal data and then applies it to an existing terrain template.

www.ragetank.com does this already in the real world... And it works quite well...

This! Both the Kancamagus highway and route 16 in the mountains above North Conway.

I'll get excited when and if it comes

I would try to get this one:

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Get some japanese friends to drive around Tokyo Inner Ring and Outer Ring Wangan, to recreate Wangan route for highway battle

Wangan Midnight style! Don't forget about Initial D-like touge roads. Love em.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Wangan Midnight style! Don't forget about Initial D-like touge roads. Love em.

I wish I have a Japanese friend who can do up hill and down hill run on the various Touge roads in Japan Akina and Hakone

 

[Warren4649]

TOUGE!!!
Ebisu east and west and Nikko too. I may know of some Japanese people that could do them!

I adore those roads in Japan. I wonder if there are some players from Japan online to recreate them. Hopefully so for some online touge action!

TOUGE!!!

Alright! Thanks a lot @Warren4649, that'll be great if you did please.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Well I know where I'm going when that is released.
Donington here I come!

I was just thinking that! I think Mallory Park would make a nice track too!
M25 anyone?

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

If someone could do Land's End to John O'Groats that would be AWESOME!!

Pay me for fuel?

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

I'm sure there would be a GTPlanet donation fund for you!

 

[Brainhulk]

This blows my mind. Im heading straight to buttonwillow and chuckwalla raceways when this is enabled.

Since the racing line doesnt truelly replicate the design of the course though, I fear the gps representation might be really off

 

[MagpieRacer]

Not to mention it's GPS data. Not visual data. We don't know if it has preset enviroments that will be used or blank canvas'.

 

[88GTA]

How about that crazy road in Romania from Top Gear?

Transfagarasan Highway

If you're alone on the track, try driving one lap sticking to the centre of the track

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I would just have to wait until the last session of the day and hope most people have left and/or I don't get black flagged for driving like a moron

In that case, sign me up

I think you guys aren't thinking big enough in terms of "I wonder if there is someone out there" to drive requested roads and tracks. I see this becoming a big side "business" if you will be it through donations or in game bartering depending in how the in game marketplace is setup. I don't think it will be that difficult to get almost literally any drivable surface in the world once this gets going.
