Well, I cant make any tracks right now, TM is dead.

My tracks which I made are all very long, all take round' 10 mins to complete. I make them all multi-layered with no jumps or ramps at all. Its all one long, giant track with many elevation changes. Ill try and make some real world circuits when my TM is alive again.
 
There is a new free Trackmania, which I found while reading on Wikipedia. It was a slight coincidence that the day I was reading it, the game had come out! So far only a few people know about this.

The free download (~500mb)

So far only 29% into the download, and only about 10min to finish the download, I'm sure it's great fun guys!

Edit: Finished downloading, have problems. The tracks are all black and non shaded, some buttons on menus don't click properly, and it screws up my computer quite a lot. Now it isn't working at all.
 
Oh, that's awesome. Just as well, because I couldn't find United anywhere in stores... and didn't really want to pay for something similar to nations (which is free).

I love the sound of the new game... and the title 'Forever' :). Looking forward to play it.

The download is now at 12%... during the time I spent writing this post. 👍

Edit: Wow... I came 10th in one race then First in another, and my rank has already jumped from 106,000 to 38,000.
By the time I'm done editing this post, It'll probably be 60,000 :lol:

I'm quite chuffed about this race (finished 1st out of 250 people), so I'll post a picture. :)

Good game by the way... no problems at all.
 
I loved nations so will hook up to my home computer now (i'm at work) and start it downloading.

Do any of you guys have Vista? How well does it run? I had problems with Nations on Vista.

Well then I guess Nations is meant for XP then. With 2000, it is simply appalling. TMNF is just not working.
 
I have TM United but I never have the time to play it. Not sure if I'll download this one.
 
I played TMNF the other night, had everything turned all the way down, and still only had 13 FPS.

With everything Maxxed, 4 x AA, 16 x Anisotropic filtering, I'm getting 40Fps - Definitely playable and looks very very good !... 1920x1200..

[Edit:] This game is made from pure WIN !... It is addicting in a whole new way!...

Thanks to the people behind it !...
 
I had quite a few games over the weekend, it really is good fun.

We should all have a get together some time.
 
I've been reading on the TM forums, others are having the same problem as me with no possible input, guess I'm not alone then.

In TMN, with everything set to high, with my current rig, I got 421FPS in the benchmark mode running 1920x1200 - With TMNF, I get 40 - So they did add something to make it look nicer....

That's a good idea actually. I'd love to battle some GTP members sometime soon. The only person I sometimes bumped into on TMN was GTchamp2003... We had some nice battles, though he did beat me 99% of the time.

As for the computer problems, I have no idea. I'm not exactly computer literate.
 
Ok I have a problem with the online mode of TMN. Everyone else's cars are invisible, and I have no clue how to make the re-appear. Can anybody help?

TMNF just worked for me, I guess I dont need TMN :D
 
Go into options> player> controls ... then see what the ‘show/hide opponent’ button is ;)

So TMNF is working? Good news then.
 
So now, TMNF dosen't work. I don't have a clue why, it worked last night without any problems but now it just refuses to click.
 
Dude... sounds like you need a new computer. Remember that 'building a PC' thing you were on about?... I think it's time ;)

But anyway, the problem sounds odd. No idea what it could be.
 
Mmm, well, after many attempts of different settings I got in, and didn't close TMNF for like...3 hours. I think I do need a new computer, but I don't think it'll happen.
 
I tried to download this the other day simply because one of my friends play this quite alot. However, it said the download would take 5 hours. Personally, I'm not willing to wait that long....
 
I haven't really played TrackMania Nations in a while because I've mostly been playing MUGEN and SimCity 4. I had a chance to learn how some national anthems sound from other nations. There are about 51 hymns of certain national anthems in one of the TM Nations folders. They are mostly accompanied by some light electronica beats and only play mostly a small portion of the national anthems. Not every country has an an anthem, though. An example is Vietnam (it's supposed to be "Viet Nam," but I've been so used to Vietnam).

I still like to think of this as TrackMania's version of the A1GP. I downloaded "TrackMania SunRise eXtreme" long ago for my copy of TM Sunrise, and it featured a bunch of other tiles including red turbo pads. The yellow turbos make you go fast. The red turbo pads make you go even faster. It would be very interesting if there was a patch fot TM Nations that would give you those super-fast red turbo pads. They were almost exclusively made for stunts. Still damned cool, though.
 
There are in Forever. There are also pads that completely disable your acceleration so you have to hit them as fast as possible and carry as much speed as you coast through the next sequence of corners.

What's your PC specs? I never seen someone have so many problems with a game like this. :lol:

Ya...you don't wanna know. Right now, TMNF is running, I found a way to get rid of the no input problem. But now, today, the screen dies and goes black and freezes the computer.

Right, I think my graphics card is giving up, it keeps dying about every 1/3 times I play.
 
I'm kinda bored these days, so I thought maybe some of us GTP'ers could have a few races on a specific server. I know a few guys who play this, but not enough to have a race because they are all over the world. Is anyone interested to give this a try?
