here's a few that I think are needed, some more important than others and several have already been suggested but it doesn't matter

4, 5, 7, 8 is a must
8 i have said in my post, that would work great on the cliff lower and high blocks
also the straight to banked is also needed

nice pics

the most improtants for me out of that list bushmonkey, is number 1 in GP. but all the others would be nice to have also!

Well now that drifting is as good as it is there's no huge need for really wide turns, unless you're trying to build a noslide map

I've been looking through the folders of TM2, and there is an interesting directory in the ManiaPlanet root.

Maybe custom blocks are a possibility? I'd like to see how they implement that...

That would be way to convient but an epic idea, goes back to the same old thing that some of us always want after a while, which is block mixing. Block mixing would be obselete if custom blocks were possible.

Keep in mind that this is still a beta, and not everything that's going to be in the final release version is ready right now. I remember custom blocks being noted as a possibility early on. It's possible that they're waiting for the release, or even a later update.

Custom blocks will not be in initial release. but if you look at the Pics i took from E3 the option under ingame Mixing was *new Terrain* which is the future for implemented blocks

Moar signs. There are really limited amount of sign blocks, and pretty much all of them are quite ugly (or too big). A flat 1x1 sign would be great, or 2x1 flat sign stadium style.

And of course, more scenery blocks.

Straight to banked - GP.
Banked corners - platform.

Those are the ones I'd like to see.

straight to banked GP - done in beta4.
