    Very easy tracks (for children)??

    I have a kid with autism who loves watching me playing Trials HD and Trials Evolution. Recently he's interested in playing the game himself, but it's too difficult for him.

    I'm planning to use the Level Editor for creating VERY EASY tracks for him to play: at first tracks where the only thing you need to do is to accelerate, and then increase the difficulty VERY slowly (even the Beginner tracks are too hard for him).

    Does anybody knows of any tracks in this direction? Maybe someone with more experience with the Level Editor can help?

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    It will be very difficult to make even an easy track that can be cleared with just the accelerator.
    If you've tried the Unyielding achievement you'll understand why.
    What I would suggest is going to the editor, and only laying a start and end spline point so you have a dead straight track.
    From there it's trial and error.
    Lay a ramp, run it and see where you land and place a down ramp there.
    Rinse and repeat.
    To make it easier you can set the rider to invulnerable too.

    I don't know of any offhand but you could easily just place some really gradual inclines, small jumps and easy obstacles down on a flat surface in the editor and go from there. I think the earlier bikes like the piranha are much easier to control over the Phoenix and even the scorpion so they should make it much easier to pass the tracks. If there's anything specific I can help you with just let me know

    you can trick him into thinking that he is making a jump but infact he's riding across some invisible objects with colosion response

    maybe you can try to play both on the same controle and you let him handle the throttle or something similar

    or just let him play the beginner till he gets better, for all of us their was a moment where the obstacles seemed imposible, make sure he has a good bike and certainly not the phoenix

    I don't think anyone is really making tracks easier than the beginner level (at least not on purpose, lol).

    You should really just dive into the editor and have a go. It's not that difficult, especially if you're trying to make something extremely easy. Just put down a driving line in a flat area, and add a few bumps. Throw in a little decoration, and you have yourself a good track for your purposes.

    That's what I'm doing now control the right analog stick and let him use the throttle), but it's a bit clumsy.

    I'll take any tracks you make. My 3yo is the same. Not Autistic but struggles with beg tracks. My nephew is autistic though so I think its a great idea. I might try making some also? Let me know . Cheers.

    Isn't there a game mode where the throttle is pre-determined and the user only controls the lean? I could've sworn it was part of Cannibal Shogun's youtube tutorials.

    Why don't you just have a flat driving line, but make a lot of cool interesting things to see as you drive by? And then at the very end, have as big of a jump as you could possibly want. He will finish the course, so it doesn't matter if he crashes on landing.

    And then have minimal bumps in the road if you really feel the need to.
