Trigger Activated Wind and Anti-Gravity
I've been making some tracks with the Big Pack and I was wondering if I could activate anti gravity and wind. I don't think you can but I'm making sure because I could make some sweet stuff with that

I also would like to know this. Looks like you can't, but I really wish you could =(

Re: Trigger Activated Wind and Anti-Gravity
As far as i know they cant be activated by triggers, BUT.... if used correctly, wind can simulate gravity... therefore, giving the option of directional gravity wherever neccesary. An example of this is my track HEAD SPIN. To check it out on youtube search "Trials HD Custom Track - Head Spin" by "Potaholic85"

Re: Trigger Activated Wind and Anti-Gravity
I've also just released a new track that uses wind to simulate changing gravity: Gravity Master. One of the difficulties with this technique is tweaking the wind forces to be strong enough to keep the rider planted on the walls/ceiling without making them so strong that they kill the rider. On vertical walls this isn't too tough, but on the ceiling, the forces required to keep the bike firmly grounded are dangerously close to the point where the wind will snap the riders neck or even explode the bike.
If you end up using this type of technique, make sure you thoroughly test it and keep tweaking it until it works consistently without killing the rider. Get your friends to help test it too. There's nothing more frustrating to an end user than being killed by an unexpected and unseen wind force. It feels like you have no control over what's happened, like it's totally random, and ultimately is viewed as a bug in the track/game. On Gravity Master, sections where I never had any problems with the wind ended up repeatedly killing one of my friends because he shifts the rider's weight differently than I do. It took me countless iterations to get it right, and I suspect that there are still places where other riders will run into problems that I haven't yet encountered...
