    Hi:

    The system to create the track reflections... sorry but is very bad. It takes a lot of time to make the reflections correctly, because you have to make the planes, enter the game and test, leave, adjust, enter and test, again and again and again. It is very, very tedious and little practice.

    Is it that the track cannot simply behave as a mirror?.

    The car does reflect each element that is wanted, without making big things, why with the track the same thing cannot be?

    Thanks.

    Maybe the CPU / gpu cost will be to high

    Unfortunately not.

    Car reflection is a reflection generated for a point (car's location).
    Road reflection cannot be done this way, because road occupies large area, so you cannot make any center point for it to get reflections from.
    Road needs a mirror plane if it's flat... and if it has many uphills and downhills, then things get very complicated in game engine. And I mean it when I say "very".

    Okay, I understand, but then, it is not possible to create any tool that facilitates the things?. I talk about move the planes in real time to configure the reflection more easily.
