Tutorial for Smooth Jumps/Curves ?

    I've seen many tracks that have very smooth, near perfect curves and jumps, such as in ItzChuckNorris's tracks. Whenever I try to make a jump it gets all bumpy and lame. :( Is there some sort of secret to making smooth curves ? It would be great if someone could show me.
    And are these tracks made in the Free Rider HD editor or on other FR editors ?

    yeah good idea. There should also be a zoom magnification of 10 instead of the current maximum of 2 in the track creator so we can draw curves neater.

    Also, there should be an option to make the size of the square in the grid smaller.

    I find that making curves in the Free Rider 3 Track Editor is much more smoother than in the FRHD one. o_O

    use the line tool, not the draw curves tool. and snap to last line. tbh most of chucksnorris's tracks bore cause they're so smooth you just hold up.

    have you tried turning grid off or using the method that uses a lot of lines?
    Also, I'm pretty sure that all those good tracks like Trackmillion were made in another FR editor.

    Wow, an arc tool would be amazingly useful, though of course then tracks might become too easy to make.

    And I've found a way to make smooth curves in the current FRHD editor, although its on mobile.
    I use straight line tool to start the base line, then I turn on snap and very carefully make the curve bit by bit. And don't use grid, because grid makes lines horribly boxy. I do this on my iPad using a stylus, so it might be harder on PC with a mouse.
    :rolleyes:

    Track making was never intended to be hard. They are hard because of the lack of tools that are easy-to-use and have more features.

    if you're on an ipad then just swipe your finger with the curve tool.(be sure to touch a little lower than the contact point)

    Nope, it's not even remotely close to being that easy. And please don't post continuously like 4 times, keep your message in one post.

    It is EXTREMELY STINKIN difficult to create any kind of good track on Ipad. They usually end up being tracks that all you do is fall and tilt. Arc tool? YES PLEASE! I would really like it...because I can only do it on my ipad.

    We are planning on creating a smoother curve tool such as an arch tool.
