PytonPago:
Wait, those are separate track-elements ?

It's implemented in our dev version. Anything can pew-pew using the existing fire() method too.

Yes. We would need something bigger to make it better visible.

So, does this mean that geometry can now be deformed by a spline? If so, that should make guardrails and railroad tracks theoretically possible, right? Or is this system fundamentally different from that one?

cameni:
It's not a universal system for repeating geometry along a spline yet, but it's heading there. It will enable things like rails, road poles and guards, bridges, tunnels, electrical lines, ropes ...

Simply amazing as with all the updates and previews of new stuff. That's one awesome looking track. You also mentioned ropes, would something like this make pulleys, hanging bridges and stuff of the like possible? I mean, eventually, I know it still needs some work. That would make for an excellent time killer in the current Outerra demo, just playing around with physics is always nice.
I always forget to ask this, sorry if I'm out of the topic, but is the pop-in of small rocks fixable? Not something that would "break it or make it" for me, but it does stand out pretty badly in some cases (this video is a nice example).
