[Poll] tracks to delete / renew

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Welcome on first poll.
Feel free to comment or discuss.

I've assembled a list of tracks I find hideous/not interesting now.
In those to delete were few remakes (same terrain, just small mod or such) so 
not really a reason for new track.

Heightmaps size to half (reduces file size by 4):

G1-Long (done)
D3-P
0W6-88
J8-oO
D1-simple
S1-simple

Tracks to delete:  --------

F5-o4H-pipe
S7-HighMadWide
S11-Twist8
F2-Cc-pipe
J2-T-bumps

Tracks to renew:  --------

D3-P
D5-jmp8-low
D7-hh
0W6-88
J8-oO
S2-Frenzy

renew or not:

D1-simple
S1-simple
D4-SZ
F8-blurX3
F7-blur3

What does renewing in practice mean?

I don't see the need for both F8 and F7 (blurs), they feel very similar.

I don't oppose deleting the tracks (but I don't think it's important either, 
see below).

One option would be to implement folders in the track browser: we could move 
low quality tracks under "old", for example. Other option would be to introduce 
"Featured Tracks", i.e. putting some star icon next to the highest quality 
tracks in the list.

I feel that having a lot to choose from is an asset, but I do also acknowledge 
that low quality tracks can lower the impression of Stunt Rally.

Right.
Renewing means eg. for D3-P I intend to add jumps and maybe a mud area. For 
other deform some terrain to have banked terrain, and outside road too, to make 
landscape more appealing (we didnt have noise brushes back then). So old ver. 
fans may not like it, but since the road shape will be same it wont be a new 
track.

I meant banked turns. But also in general lower or higher terrain parts to make 
tracks less flat.

Deleted those 5 tracks.
Renewed D3-P, D5-jmp8-low, J8-oO, D7-hh, F7-blur3
D4-SZ, F8-blurX3 stay so (probably D1-simple too).

Dont know what to do with S1-simple,S2-Frenzy,0W6-88 yet.
Any other suggestions (for renewing) ?

Deleted S1-Simple.
Hmap halved on D1-simple, has 2m triangle now, but track isn't fancy so will do.
Hmap halved on 0W6-88, track stays so, we don't need mountains on every track.
Only S2-Frenzy left.
