Rock Hater Raceway Short Course .82

Short course racing, for those who hate rocks. Smooth dirt, jumps, berms, whoops.

    Come discuss ideas!

    UPDATE .8
    I spent some more time working on updates...

    Once again, a few bumps/etc got smoothed out, and I am playing with adding ONE new feature.

    Biggest part of this update was redoing all of the ground textures for the track to try and make it look a little less crappy, let me know what you think!

    UPDATE .7

    Added some more stuff to try and make the track feel less empty.

    Added a few flags & etc... to try and give you more landmarks to gauge your position/speed off of.

    Small tweaks to get rid of some jagged edges and make berms a little smoother.

    Adjusted lips on a couple jumps to try and make them a little less sensitive to speed.


    UPDATE .6

    I Put some more work into rock hater recently...

    I caved and got rid of the concrete at the start.

    Nothing too major but some sections changed a little bit and a lot of terrain got tweaked.

    I spent some time playing with ground models to try and make it a little bit less frustrating to drive. Still have a lot left to do for aesthetics, but the functional drivable parts I think I am about done with.

    BETA .5
    More updates to the course, the back stretch got re-worked again to try another set of features.

    Played with the lighting to try and make it a little easier to see the track, and cleaned up a lot of goofy texture/terrain material not looking right.

    Added some walls and tweaked some here and there, still have a lot of work left to go but I think its more fun now than it was in .4


    BETA .4
    More large updates to the course.

    A lot of stuff got wider, a long stretch of whoops is getting replaced with some other features, and some bumps leading into tight corners got removed to make it a little less punishing.

    Widened out the stadium part a little bit, and tried to build up some dirt against the outside walls to make that more forgiving too.

    Tweaked some stuff that was a little tight, hopefully everything flows better and its more fun to drive now!


    BETA .3
    Updated a large chunk of the course. Took some rocks out, added some inside walls, made some sections wider, and deleted some whoops.

    Should hopefully flow much better now and be a blast with the 1x geiser truck & SST, as well as the 2wd stadium dunekicker and Trackfab cars.


    BETA .25

    I am not entirely sure where I left off, might be some major changes, might not be. Went through and cleaned up some of the ground now that the general layout is more solidified. Added some more walls and rocks to police corner cutting, and try and give you better reference points for braking.


    BETA .2

    STILL NOT CLOSE TO DONE... But hey, the layout is still driveable, so I am putting a new version up to get any feedback on the additions.

    Added a lot of new track that is some more open, high speed stuff that takes better advantage of short course suspension, hopefully its just as fun.

    Tried to fix a couple frustrating turns, added an arrow to one off center jump, and added some more flags at the crests of hills to give you something more to aim for, I am mostly building this to make myself a fun map to drive in VR.


    Beta .1
    THIS TRACK IS NOWHERE NEAR DONE.

    Its got jumps, whoops, berms and walls.

    Posting early to get ideas/feedback early on while I am still hashing out the track layout, per the name its an ideal track for you, if you hate rocks...

    Basically built it around the trackfab apache short course car after doing some tuning on it, since as far as I can tell its not like we have a pro 4 truck anywhere... Comment if you have ideas for stuff to add, things to change, etc...

    This is a long way from done, but I started poking around at some new ideas since there also isn't much out there like this for beam.

    10/10 would race again. Tried using AI. It worked fine until the crossover where the AI tried to go left when they should have gone straight.

    The map is fine but it seems to break all missions when loading the game, requiring me to start the game with mods disabled in order to be able to play the campaign or do the missions in freeroam. Came to the conclusion by manually filtering all of my mods, more than likely related to a small update or maybe even some weird corruption (i hope not) from one of my drives as of january 22nd 2025, found out about the issue about 4 or 5 days ago and only now realized it was caused by the track

      I tried to look into that but I honestly am not sure what issue is going on.

      I can't replicate that on my own at all and this is the first ive heard anything like this.

      Ill upload an update with exactly whats on my computer right now incase something changed, but I cant make anything else break.

      you might be the first person to say that lol.

      But there is no version of this with rocks, yet... it is it's own thing.

    I hate rocks and I love this track, it's really fun with the Dunekicker

      somewhere there is a 4wd dunekicker mod floating around, and getting that setup with the short course chassis makes for a fun pro4 truck

    Great track !!! By far my favorite with the 4wd dune kicker. My only suggestion for change would be near the finish. Feels more like a rally track with that instead of a race track. But otherwise AMAZING.

      yeah I still have a lot of work to do, do you have any ideas on what to do there?

      I am still going back and forth on that in my head because I dont love whats there, just started out being paved to try something different and hopefully keep dust down if you're in beamMP, and maybe make the first corner a little more predictable if there are a lot of cars going in

    amazing and loved it but I was wondering what the moded car you are using in your video and pictures
    1. ATypicalWhiteGuy
      Author's Response
      Probably one of the trackfab cars by trackpad user, they should be in the repo and that guy makes some really awesome stuff.

      I am using the short course version of the trackfab apache for testing and scaling the track
