I feel like I've asked this question one too many times, but screw it, I'm asking again;
How on God's green earth do you align the start finish straight? I can't do the alignment even if my life depended on it, and it's holding me back on several projects, some of which admittedly should have been done since December.

Basically you have to get the final corner right. Say, for example, if you have one sector with a two degree turn but the finish is too much on the inside, try changing it to two sectors of one degree each. Or add a sector with very little turning right after the final corner. Trial and error, mostly.

If you're working with both .dat+.gp4 files at the same time, you can create a long horizontal surface and position it along the start straight, in a way for it to become a guide for you to build the final sections.
