And to finish off today's productivity, another race that took place yesterday.
Schaal Sels, 2015 (1.1)
An interesting race with a number of cobbled and off-road sections. All cobbled sections are set to width 2, and insane difficulty. I had to extend the route slightly in one place, as the game requires 15km before going in the reverse direction of a road - and in reality the difference was also 11km.
The infamous corn field - where the race jury car got stuck during the race, causing a temporary neutralisation.

Spoiler
The race goes past Antwerp Docks early in the race
There's a total of 47 cobbled sections, all have been named
The race is mostly in Belgium, but does go into Netherlands for a little bit early on
Well that may be for similar reasons. Plus as far as I could see, nobody has ever made the correct Schaal Sels route before - so perhaps no surprise that it has not featured in a DB.
If you want to play it without editing the database, you could make it a variant of one of the other Belgian one day races already in there. e.g. name the files c1_kampvlaanderen_schaal
Could you make the zcts of Schaal available.
I have been hoping for this stage, and even yesterday requested it from another creator.
Sad to say it doesn't work in v14 mode, but with a zcts I could try to figure out why.
You don't happen to have a gpx file, from the get go. I can't find anyone on Schaal.
This race has truly been negleted, and the old version (2012) just covers that circuit in Merksem, not the route going north. I found it in the FDB or FCD databases.
I'm not surprised this version doesn't work in PCM14, since I used a new PCM15 feature: naming the cobblestones. I'll look into if there's a quick fix for that later, and can send you some files if not.
I guess the old version you mention is the same that I found when having a look around, on PCM Focus I think. The route it uses is completely made-up - it does start and end in Merksem as the real race does, but I found the routes for 2011, 2012, and 2013 - and they all go north through Stabroek and Berendrecht, with the same Dutch loop. They definitely upped the difficulty this year with the amount of cobbles though!
So cobblestones have been improved in 2015 ??
I know new fences and some new Netherland wallhouses is messing things up, but perhaps if you could "delete" or change the cobbles it might be that easy.
Cobbles can be named now, whereas they couldn't before. But I took away their names and that did not work in PCM14. I won't be removing the cobbles as they are an integral part of the race. There are Netherlands wallhouses in there so if I have time I may see if removing them makes a difference.
But ultimately, this is a PCM15 stage thread - not PCM14.
Yeah you are right,
I was just in to this for examine the difference and the development in the editor. Always nice to find out what makes a program tick, kind of my path of work.
Forget it, and concentrate on creating some more stunning stages.
I like your work! I used to play the 2016 Olympic Road Race with previous versions of PCM, but this isn't able with PCM 2018 since there are no ZTCS-files. Could you convert the stages, or share the ZCTS-files with us?

Thanks!
