Railroad crossings in racing games?

[u***@hotmail.com]

I was wondering if there are any racing games out there that have
active railroad crossings out there that pose an actual in game
hazard? The closest Ive seen was


Burnout Revenge- I remenber seing an active train running along side
a street that you could run in to. Ditto for the Kindiack Park level
of NFS:HS


Need for speed Underground- A train crosses the street in one of the
drag races but it finishes before any of the cars reach it. It was in
the demo but was removed and replaced with a static train in the
retail version!


Right now, those are the only racing games that have something like
this I can think of. Any others?

This has to be a contender for "Weirdest Ever Post To R.A.S.", surely? :)

No trains, but cross traffic is possible. rFactor's Neurburg Village Travel
crosses itself. The effect, I think, is similar but even more so.

Monster Truck Madness (Microsoft) has active railway crossings.

IIRC Ignition has a rail crossing (an obscure answer for an equally obscure
thread!).

Rail tracks at the blind fast left hander leading to the overpass at
Sachsenring in GPL. Perfect illustration why trying to use unmarked
railroad crossing in F1 car is not a good idea :)

[Dr Richard Cranium]

Yes there is a track that has a railroad crossing and while the chances are 2% you will
have your race car there when the train speeds through makes the track very playable !

cool stuff.

the caveats and biscuits:

I don't remember which Need for speed. I am guessing 4. I am pulling up my old NFS games
and looking.
That was great fun.

I would like to see boat ramps so that I could occasionally wash my car.

Actually, I think it would be interesting if a racing game features
hazards such as tornadoes, high speed winds, floods, and lightning
that can fry the electrical system of your car. Perhaps even an
earthquake or two. :)

If somebody ever does a version of the San Jose Grand Prix, there's a
spot where the Champ Cars bounce over the light-rail lines downtown.
Or did they change that this year? I was there last year watching
right at that spot, and it was quite amazing how much the cars bounced
going over that.

Oops, I guess that was 2005, actually. So I"m two years out of the
loop.

I think they fixed and smoothed out the crossing because of this very
issue. The cars were getting damaged, not to mention jarring the snot
out of the drivers. There was a video on Youtube I recall that had
"before and after" videos of that crossing.

NFS4 - High Stakes - Kindiak Park

The train goes along side, but doesn't cross the track.

There's is a modified version of Kindiak Park where the
train does cross the track. It's part of the NFS4 "Expansion Pack".

Thanks. A while ago, I was using T3ED to move the track where the
train runs (couldn't do the reverse because there was no way to get to
the train itself in the editor so I had to move the *road* instead),
and had the train street running through that part. The strangest
thing was, at the end of the segment, the train would *dive through *
the road and disappear under it! Very funny to look at. I would also
use the cheat code that enables you to blow out the tires of the car
in front of you, and I would spend time blowing out all of the cars'
tires and watch the train ram them. Yes, I really am that twisted. >:)

That 4WD racing game... 4x4 Evo. One of the tracks has a train... and a
train bridge.
If you time it right, you can cut across the bridge and make a major
shortcut. If not...

I think there's also a similar track in Monster Truck Madness, same
developer.

It still moves, but with a good run you can beat it in the left lane.
On a moderate run, you can take the jump behind the engine.

The train is moving on the PC version, here is a clip from a video I
made of NFS Underground 1 career mode:

For anyone (both of you) interested, here is Underground 1 career mode
condensed into an 11 minute video, cutscenes and highlights of events.
If you haven't seen Underground 1 before the graphics are pretty nice.
