Pro Cycling Manager - Custom Map
Simulation | PC | PCM Stage Editor | Other Project | 3 days | 2022
Tight zig-zag roads are a tricky part to get an even profile on, but I managed to get one in the end.
On the profile view, it goes green, blue, yellow, red, black. Beyond blue it gets a bit unrealistic, so it's better to avoid that.
Project Description
​
With the stage editor of Pro Cycling Manager, I made a stage that starts from Annecy and ends at Leschaux.
​
The overall topography was already mapped, my work was to first make the lake, then trace the stage from one city to the other by following the roads.
After that, I needed to fix the profile, which was a long and difficult process. Basically, you have to play on the inclination of the roads to create natural slopes.
The last step was to place the scenery, forests, buildings etc.
​
I was unfamiliar with the franchise, so I had to take a lot of research on what PCM fans liked, how the official maps looked, but overall it was a satisfying challenge; despite de numerous bugs like the impossibility to use the city tool (so I had to place buildings by hand) and the lake tool making it impossible to raise an ever lowering water level.
