Test Track Airfield is a fictional environment located in the Mojave Desert, Southwestern United States. It appears in FM5, FM6 and FM7.
My favorite thing here was to drift Gymkhana-style around the airplanes, shipping containers, and into/out of airplane hangers!
The surface had just the perfect feel for drifting as it is not as sticky as the typical race tracks.
I would love to see a track-maker setting to allow customizations of barriers and breakable items, or just a selection of drift-friendly courses.
Here is a little sample of the potential Hooning one can do…
Test Track Airfield features five layouts and three drag racing configurations, with the latter having 2-car and 8-car variants, for a total of eleven layouts.
Perhaps add more events to multiplayer like bringing back the airfield and having it for open class, infection or king. Many people in open class on the airfield did what they wanted, play hide and seek, do take overs, drag racing and chasing people. Also car meets or shows. Now that’s fun if you ask me.
What about different layouts, the Track itself was sort of freestyle and there was an outer layout you could cut the track with, adding that as a separate layout would be cool
Maybe have different layouts for the course depending on the Genre of the visit:
Car meet setups with raised platforms for showing off prize rides…
Drift layouts with dynamic obstacles to hit, or smart objects that can show you how close you’re getting to it… or something…
Drag race layout along the landing strip with appropriate walls and emergency sand pit…
Hide and seek mode with a huge container labyrinth…
Implement game mode modifiers like the ability to TAG one another… or have a Zombie mode…
And there’ nothing stopping them from implementing a track creator mode, where you could go all flying camera placing objects mode, or just drive around and have the track checkpoints plopped where you want them…
Oh, and they should add drones so you can park in the corner and fly around looking at all the cars… maybe even just tracking particular cars that are drifting or racing…
The possibilities are almost endless… but this would all just as easily apply to any track.
So there’s that.
(along the same lines as what MALLARDGAMEZ was talking about.)
This track is so needed, with all the drag strips and of course new drag cars!
Devs… if you’re listening.
When are we getting our test track back? 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, 1 mile drag. This is not a super complex feature add and it’s been part of every previous title.
Test and tune is a huge part of enjoyment here and I know I’m not the only one missing this feature from a longevity standpoint of the game too.
You mention the drag strip and also test and tune, but I’m not sure how tuning ties to the drag strip. Tuning on a drag strip is only useful for drag racing. Whatever tuning you do on a drag strip is basically useless elsewhere.
He didn’t say anything about tuning on the drag strip for anywhere else. Testing and tuning drag setups is exactly what he meant.
Test and tune is fun regardless of whether you’re doing it for drag, road course, or drift. So what’s your point… everyone understands that a drag setup isn’t optimized for lap times. But it’s a different dimension to the game that adds playability and hence longevity. Building cats a running friends in drag races is fun too. Just saying it’s a huge missing part of the experience. Also not to mention the open field of test track environment that can be used for so many different things as pointed above.
I hope there’s working and save able replays when this comes out. Some awesome camera views would be sweet to.
Yes. Definitely need Drag Racing
I think short track like Bristol or Bowman Grey would be awesome. Bowman Grey might be a bit much for the one who think a race is won turn 1 of lap 1.
I agree, the potential for more layouts in this area was underutilized. A few more smaller baseline tracks that aren’t just open field space would be great to see as an addition.
