I can only find 2 files. One is the seventh of seven. The
other is the twentythird of twentythree. Those are the
only 2 files.

Hat's off chaps - _great_ work!!

But why Monaco?? - it's completely useless in N4 - heck it's even useless
in GPL :-)

LOL! You are exactly correct, Ed, heck, it's even useless in F1! No passing,
whoever's on the front row has MORE than a good shot at winning the race...
Unfortunately, it's one redeeming virtue (the amount of girls watching the race)
couldn't be simulated... ;]

I think David was annoyed that he couldn't get it to work in N3... ;]

Cheers!

When you post binary files in a newsgroup, they are divided into equal
smaller parts. You need to assemble them. Select them all, right click and
"combine and decode".

Good question...I'm sure Dave's probably going to look at doing a converter format
again, but in the meantime he's still trying to get completely to grips with the N4 file format...

Cheers!

Simply brilliant!!!
N4 is absolutely amazing and I have actually started to like oval racing,
but more "proper" circuits would be very, very welcome ;-)

I don't understand... The first poster was talking about previews of
"up-and-coming" releases for N4 by Papyrus... now you're talking about a
GPL-N4 track converter. What's the real deal?

It was perhaps badly phrased. Try it this way:

. . .for "N4 by Papyrus."

Hehe. Very ;)

Since 20.00 (local time. 5 hours ago) we have had 602 hits.
Normally on a sunday night we have around 120 in the same period.
But those are not downloading, so the server load isn't that high.

It's cool though. Glad we could help out ;)
