ElSecundo,
I am not going to rely on designs I make with Ultimate Racer. But for discussion, an example of what's on my mind seems to work to help others fully understand what I think I mean to say.
After I finalize my choice, then the real detailed designing starts. I will do things like very big radius curves to replace a straight and other things that you can not do with sectional track.
When I got stuck with Windows 8, my drawing package won't work. So I have to put together a system with XP on it so I can use my paid for software. I think so highly of Microsoft for not including an XP mode!
The discussion is super on this thread and I'm getting lots of super ideas. Thanks for all your comments.
