Before you buy.
Eliminate all possibilities of conversion between two companies making
racing sims Mike. It's simply incompatible at 100% until they both agree to
work on the same standards of file architecture. Game engines vary from one
sim to an other in an incredible way, since they vary in how much open they
are (Ubisoft being at the opposite of Papyrus in that, Microprose like
Papyrus for GP2). The new Papyrus game engine is similar to the old game
engine, which makes track conversions an easy task.
The only thing you can hope is to "replicate" DTR tracks in GPL, which will
probably never happen.
