TC tracks heading to Career Mode?
It appears user created tracks are heading to the career world map. Tracks are going to be rotated. Wonder of this will count towards over all score? Love the idea.

Will not count towards score. Just doing it as a nice nod to the builders. Again, Awesome idea.

Very very awesome. Seems like theyre slowly yet surely finding their feet. Still some glaring problems (and i know a few people will probably hate this response), but Ubi/RL can never go wrong by working with, and showing the community some love

I'm hoping they can make it with tourney's like in fusion, maybe give acorns and stuff.

Seems to already be working in-game. Wonder if they do it by hand or if it just picks something from one of the feeds. Weird track to start with: gsatchmo's ~G~ Méca from the Community Picks (this is the big machine that builds and moves around the track as you go). When does it rotate? Is it going to stay just one track at a time? It's really easy to miss and there was no notification or anything. If you don't have the 2nd DLC, you probably wouldn't even know it was there, since it's out in the middle of the empty ocean.

there are actually 3 scattered around the map.

Right! KALzzone8's K8: Sanctuary and ikd88idk's [FRK] Lack-O-Motion. The sponsor clutter makes them hard to see. Lack-O-Motion is almost entirely covered by a sponsor pic.
There also seems to be a "UGC" filter in the sidebar to show just the TC tracks. I wonder if new ones will move around, or stay in those spots.
The builder icon also shows on the track thumbnail in TC. Bad design there, since it pushes over the medal and favorites to claim the right corner. They should have put it on the left by or under the difficulty or somewhere else that doesn't disturb our personal status icons with something that isn't up to us.

It's a positive step, however as usual it's done in a haphazard half-assed way.
1. I didn't even know there were 3 new ones on the map until Lionden mentioned it, and I was playing the game quite a bit today.
2. I could barely find the one in the middle of Europe. In fact I couldn't even get the cursor to stop, i.e. focus, on that icon as it kept snapping to other nearby tracks. I had to time hitting the start button with the cursor moving on the map, like a mini-game by itself.
3. Usually the X/SQUARE button adds track to Favorites (for all the good that does, since it's been broken since the early June update but I digress...), however for these tracks the X button pulls up the TC menu where you can find the creators name, instantly find more tracks by them, etc. It's very easy to miss. This screen should be the screen that the user is taken to when they press the start button on the track. I know it's a TC track. Everyone here knows. But does every user know that?
4. There should be an option to "find more tracks like this", like press a button which runs the filter for "top rated tracks of this difficulty", so users are encouraged to participate in TC.
5. There should be Trials Coins and XP for these promoted tracks. They've been curated, they are functionally the same as RL tracks on the map, so should have the same rewards for playing.

is that a good idea?
only if the country on which the track is run exists.........
and that this city ( or other) is well represented!
otherwise, it's drowning the game in something crazy.....
this is my appreciation.
it is also necessary that Redlynx includes them in the results of the solo mode ( which is not the case)... and there it could restart the game and make the best tracks be played by all the addicts to the game, who perform on the tracks of the solo... Otherwise, it is useless....

Hi attila, I see your point here and agree to some extent, but to include the scores on these tracks in your solo score could only really work if the tracks were to stay in the map permanently so that everyone can set their times. I believe these tracks are going to be rotated which means that the tracks will continually be removed and replaced by others and as such will be missed by a lot of people. Unfortunately I can't see these tracks remaining permanently on the map because the map would run out of room very quickly. Maybe they could just add the winning tracks of any competitions redlynx hold and have them permanent?
