I miss The Green Valley. I miss Coyote Canyon. I miss the horrible Blackhill Mansion, because it was so much fun to play it online in reverse.
Yes, I can still play these tracks as add-ons, but I can NEVER play them on global online servers. Why? Because people don't have add-ons installed. And it's too much trouble to tell them to install these particular add-ons and come back to the server. And even if they do, they don't know the tracks so they don't drive them well.
Would it be possible to have a default set of add-ons that's ALWAYS installed with STK but that just isn't used in the story mode and the tracks simply get added to add-ons by default? That way, the set of tracks available for global online would grow and some tracks that are facing deprecation because they don't look good but they are great fun to play online could still be ubiquitously available. I mean tracks like The Green Valley, The Snow Peak (facing deprecation), Shifting Sands, etc.
What do you think, manic drivers?
