@T10ManteoMax , I’m posting this here for two reasons, one it’s a question directly relevant to FH5 game play not blueprint design. And two, the blueprint design forum is virtually dead it I doubt it would get any notice there at all.
First, it is great to see the effort put forth by the development team to at least try and give us additional event lab start points.
The question, however, why did they put the start point stub pointing directly into the stadium? This creates such limiting options for starting a track. You either have to start a track going through the stadium, or with a sharp right or left turn to break away from the stadium landscape.
I it would be nice to know what the thoughts behind this were.
It would be really great to see more of these start stubs but in more open locations which actually do allow for building “tracks of or dreams”.
I think they shut their eyes and stuck a pin in the map.

Now Phill, 
I was trying to be positive…
It’s a convenience for builders that build in the stadium. There’s a lot of event labs that start at the circuit start to the east and then have to turn to go back to the stadium entrance.

My only question is, why haven’t they fixed eventlab props during a race, after test driving? They still don’t show up for me during the race and it’s been a year.
There’s a reason why the blueprint design forum is dead. It doesn’t work properly for %90 percent of the player base still playing. Discord forums and other similar forums all report having to re-draw their route over and over to get the props to show up after editing them.
This was supposed to be apart of playgrounds plan to Fortnite horizon. I’m surprised and disappointed that they haven’t paid more attention to it in general.
It’s nice to have another start point but I might as well create routes in horizon 4. It has the same amount of options for me, even though I maxed out on tracks in horizon 4.

Yeah that redrawing garbage was the end for me. I worked out a few really cool tracks. Put in a lot of time building a model of Bristol Motor Speedway and a nice 3/4 mile dirt oval. Only to have them usable just about 1/3 of time. Most of time I’d just get the layout on plain raw ground with nothing or about half the props showing up. So disappointing that they can’t make this stupid game work correctly. It’s pointless to put more money into Microsoft and their “game testing”. Tax time is coming! Ummm! Tax returns! New console! No money for Billiebob Gates and co.
They have. If the props aren’t appearing in your event, it means your prop count is over the limit. You need to go back into the route, delete stuff to get it under the limit and then republish.
Umm…no they didn’t. I literally have only one prop in one of my races….a start gate and not even that shows up. None of my routes are anywhere near over budget. In fact, none are over %40 total.
I know what you’re saying, don’t get me wrong but I’ve even tried re-drawing my routes and still nothing shows up most of the time.
The “current” setting for seasons in the eventlab menu also doesn’t work and doesn’t update with the season switch over.
Strangely enough, my eventlabs will work sometimes when the current season matches the eventlab season setting. When the season changes, the props disappear again.

You can just use the circuit starting point for routes like those

I’m sorry to hear that, sounds messed up. There was a bug a while ago where if you used props from the festival section, they would change depending on the season you set the event too but that got fixed too so not sure what is going on with yours.
Does it happen when you make new events or just when editing old ones? If it just happens on old ones it could be you have corrupt save files which you probably won’t be able to do much about.

Don’t think it’s a corrupt save (at least I hope not). Doesn’t matter if it’s new or old. Same problem.
Others have said they can see my props when racing my routes….lol.
That’s strange. I know a lot of people who use eventlab and I don’t know anyone who has this problem. If you want to try and sort it, it might be good asking people on some of the discord servers I’m on. People there are really helpful when trying to figure out the solution to a problem like this. Try the Forza Creator’s Guild discord server as a starter.

Yup, already tried. It was the people on discord that tried my routes and said they worked. Lol. Good place for sure. DJS was apart of the one I was asking questions in.
