Can we keep legacy paths as an alternate option?

No.

What you can do, I guess, is the legacy paths that will be in your game when 1.2 hits, you can refuse to dismantle them or remove them and opt for the new ones.

But any new paths that you make at all will be of the new system.

And for us, that saves us the headache of having to cater to two different vehicle path systems as we move on with the game going forwards.

And that does mean that there will be growing pains, which we acknowledge.

There will be growing pains, there will be people who actually will miss the old system.

But for future designs, future vehicles maybe...

And for future consistency with how vehicles should work, we wanted to rip the band-aid here, and yeah.

Any lament for the old paths will have to be mourned, and then we move on to new, greener pastures.

But the legacy paths are gone, not coming back as an option or anything.
