Hi, For 1.0 I am not sure I am ready to include different terrains. It is possible, but there is a whole lot of extra work that goes in to designing the engine and even the cars just to run on a variable terrain. As you might realise different terrains require slightly different physics calculations. A dirt or gravel track would supply some friction or force acting against the car. Also the car would require a tredded tire which also slows the car down. Where as a flat paved surface and a bald tire allows a car to move much faster and smoother. That's why Nascar stock cars always have a bald tire. A bald tire cuts down on friction allowing the car to reach speeds up to 215 MPH on the track. It is not imposible to have a variable surface and different equasions to handle this, but I am more interested in just getting the engine working before I begin adding more complex variables into the mix. Though if a variable surface is really in demand I will certainly look into what I need to make it happen.
