Many tracks produce curious effects when driving over the roads. Here are some examples:

KCL Glitches

Most of these effects are based on wrong triangles in the KCL file.


Face Down Roads

Many CT creators design the roads (and boost, ramps, ..) from 2 sides: face up and face down. And this face down roads are the reason for the curious jumps.

If a driver jumps on the road, it is possible, that its position are some pointer below the road. This is no problem, if only face up roads are defined: The driver is raised on the road again. But if the also the face down road is defined, it may become the relevant road and the driver takes a curious driving line and the camera view may switch to a different position.

To avoid this glitch, just remove all face down roads. Face down roads can be selected by the KCL Flag and its first normal (y value <0.0). Wiimms SZS Tools can remove such triangles automatically; see »KCL Tutorial (Wiimms Tools)« for details.
