hay hert I just knoweds this the the frist screen there someing floting in the air looks like a swich or are my eyes seeing things. looks coloerfull with the mixed bush along the tracks.
 
Okay hert, gird your loins, cause I'm going to unleash some brutal constructive criticism here!
First off, it can't be easy trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but you are definitely giving it a good go! The issue I have is not with your work, but rather with the general route itself. The screens you show are great, until I spot one of those impossibly tall, pointed spires in the background. It seems you are at odds with the route itself! While I am not a stickler for prototypical anything, I do have to say that the topography is important. Our friend Dragonharh has struggled with respectability here, I've observed his offerings for a long time. He is coming along nicely in his modeling, but this route is rather old, is it not? My guess is he made the route awhile ago, and didn't bat an eye at the Pokemon landscape. Not that I'm trying to drive a wedge between you two, I admire how he has pushed on past the criticism and continued to grow as a creator, but this is a chance to really transform this route into something that people will actually want to drive, and no amount of grass and flowers is going to hide those awful landforms.

I see the basis here for a fine route, but in my opinion the two of you should have a discussion about toning down the awkward, jagged peaks.

Other than that, press on and keep fighting the good fight.
 
Thanks Ed. After looking at some of the stuff, I went back and tried to make the mountains less "steep":

The giant peak mountain which you can see in the progress shot at the beggining of this page is now this:

Nicely done! I didn't know how much control you had over the route, I never thought it would be that simple. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
 
The route was built with TRS06 and made after the old failed MSTS DP route wich was scrapped that was 3 or 4 years ago and I'm slowly changeing the layout bit by bit. Mostly I lost intrest and gave up intell hert asked my if he coute make the route better. There are maney glichs with the map its self that I can not fix This route was lighty lose 3 times and all most drestroyed becuse of PC screw ups that runed parts of the map. I hate the peeks and hills consitterd flatting avery thing. Right now i'm unshore rader or not to give up or keep going. my self and hert talk about surten things with the route most days. After margeing and restoreing the map 6 times this taken its tole on the layout. I'm not shore if there will be a reless on my new update or not I may scrapped the projact and start something driffent. You will have to wait and see.

As owner and arthor of the DP map this 2nd phase of the 4th update is a huge under takeing and bleave it or not hasn't been going too well The peeks were never apart of the plans form the frist as being importen Intell after V3.5 wend the spiks were looking too much compared to the main them and compley massing up the look I wonted. My PC is laggy wend makeing land masses like hills and its very fursting to make a hill wend your laggying. I do agree with ed on the peeks Even thow I don't wont to here it but turthfully it helps alot annd sets the tone onw what needs to be fixed next.
I'm trying tofix the peeks even with the lagg working agents me. Phase 2 is far form done and I'm not shore wen or if I will be done any time soon. Hert's a good guy ideas are endless we'er finding out new ways to model.
Dam spell chack wont work btw sorry I'll fix the errors asap.
