Is it just me or the textures look very low rez?

Looks like no texture just an detailmap.
The terraintextures really doesnt look the best in all screenshots.

Wonder if we will be able to use joysticks? or are we going to have to buy the ps2 controller adapters?

I agree with Calirider.

I posted this before, but here goes again, I'm VERY particular about my setup 

Here is one wish that is High on my List of Features for this new port of MXU to the PC.

Multiple Choice of Controllers.

With MCM2, there are a wide variety of controllers that can be configured to work with the game. This has been a plus for many of us that have enjoyed this game, I know many people that have used multiple controllers.

Given my background of Network Administrator and CAD manager, I'm very comfortable with a mouse. Therefore, the controller setup I use for MCM2 is:

Primary Controller: Logitech MX510 Laser Gaming mouse for steering, with left button for gas, and right button for brakes.

Secondary Controller: Microsoft Precision 2 Joystick, used for preload and freestyle buttons.

I love this setup because of the precise steering input from the mouse, and the separation of the steering and preload functions to separate hands. It allows me many options for input into the bike.

No other MX game that I've tried gives me this flexibility.

XBOX MX Unleashed, MTX MotoTrax, etc. don't have this ability.

Thank you,
Brian

Ii just cant wait to see all the older guys come crawlin back begin for mercy lol left us thin wona come sneakin back in ok i understand.

Yeah...that would be me! I just caught wind of this today and im freaking excited. From what I'm reading it seems like it'll be fairly friendly to advanced users. If not, I have confidence that we'd be just a bit motivated to make changes!

Anyway I look at it, it's good news! Oh and what's up to all the people I haven't talked to in ages.

I did register mxucentral.com, in THINKING about re-opening it back up.

I just don't want to end up doing things alone again.  If I did re-open it, things will be almost the same, but better.  And hopefully have more people helping me.

Bandwidth is what nearly killed us last time.  I just don't want to bit off more than I can chew you know? We'll see...Oh, let's not forget...time! If I have any left.  I have a 10 month old son now....So, time is not what I have a lot of. 

But, I'll make time for this game, and maybe re-release my MCM2 tracks and maybe some new ones.

well man the community around here is cool now im sure people will be generous enough to help with Website/Donations

Kamshaft,

I might be able to help you with hosting. How much bandwidth, diskspace do you need?
Drop me a email  toadsix@strayminis.com

Really exciting stuff around this whole release, cant wait!!!

Kamshaft,

   Get in touch with me (email or MSN...should both be available here) and lets talk "Turkey". I might be able to help with hosting costs and any admin stuff you'd need. I won't be able to kick-in until after Xmas. But then I'd definately be able to help out. I'm also planning on renting a host for my portfolio website...and I'm not gonna be using much of it. Let's talk...   

OMG!! 

AWESOME!!!

Anyone know if it has tag/stunts?

hmm this is so weired.. we have waited for this for so long, and now that its time for it, im not so sure i really want it.. the more i think about it, the less excited i get... i know how much i hate mx vs atv physics  in FMX on ps2.. i wonder how it would work on pc..

oh well.. im eager to try it out.

The physics will feel completely different on tech tracks. I hope.

I already know that I'll be happier with the physics than MCM 2's.  I hope we can tweak the AI to be competitive on our own tracks.  I've always hated that about MCM 2.

Hey Muskaman long time, good to see your still kicking.

I can Imagen that Bandwidth isn't as expensive as it was when Central was at its peak. But I can imagen it would still be ridiculous for one person to take on. How madmac continues with MCM Factory is beyond me, which I personally thank for his devoted contribution.

I have been thinking about this for along time on how we could save on bandwidth. Since so many sites have gone down due to extreme bandwith.

So I was curious if there would be a way to implement say torrents rather then one person taking on the whole load. We are a community so why not share resources. Of course it would have its share of problems. But I think if we can cut down on the bandwidth usage it will be better for the community.

This is just an idea of course. But your opinions are welcome.

i was thinkin if someone has a server computor that they dont use and have all the downloaded things to use myhttp or watever it is its a free server it goes right off your comp if i aint mistaken njdbrs site is off of skinmans comp.  And i guess it doesnt cost anything.  I was looking into it but i aint got an extra comp.  even a sorta crappy comp with at least a 100 gb hard drive would be fine really for a server.  I am so excited Cant Wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I personally love mx vs atv unleashed i have spent endless hours playing that.

Finally some love from Rainbow!

The torrent thing is a good idea, but it'll take a lot longer to retrieve tracks using that method, and most people won't want to seed and play because the upload will totally lag you online.  I was thinking maybe limit the number of tracks people can upload?  Increase the limit by # of downloads on a certain track.  Say someones track hits 300 dl's, he gets another track slot to upload.  This ensures that only the best tracks are going to be uploaded, and we don't get hundreds of 1-day-to-make crap tracks with 20 dl's each or "test" tracks. 

I'm sure bandwidth won't be a problem though once word of this game starts getting out.  More people are going to come back and want to contribute(including me after the holidays).  The most important thing is to keep things free to the public like they were before.  Maybe you can have the ability though to be a paying member and get certain benefits(more track slots, ability to leave comments about tracks, etc.)  It sounds a little harsh maybe, but think of all the tracks that will be released if the editor is as simple as it looks. 

Damn, I'm coming back for more if this looks promising
