rec.autos.simulators

I just started using the Belini tracks and they look great.  The USA track is
diabolical with all its twists and height changes.  Both the Donnington and
Autodromo Belini tracks put heavy graphics demands on the computer.  I'm
running the game on a 200mhz machine in Win95.  I have only used the tracks in
practice and without opponent cars around so I'm not sure of the performance
otherwise.  Nevertheless, the tracks are works of art.

 Are these circuits free? By the looks of a Belinia web-page I found,
it seems that they're for sale in Europe. If any of these tracks are
downloadable, where are they?

 Thanks much, Matt

They are not free and are not downloadable.  You can get them outside Europe,
as I did, by sending an international money order.  Just follow the
instructions on the website.  Send them an email asking for info and they'll
get back to you about pricing and how to order.

The installation program states you should use a fresh installation of GP2 to
install the Belini tracks.  I don't know what happens if you install it over a
hacked install.  I followed the instructions in order extract the tracks and
jam files.  Then I just coped those files into the appropriate directories in
GP2 and it now works great using Trackman to change tracks, just like any other
download.

this information is misleading.

You can of course use trackman to swap tracks, but for the tracks to
perform properly they have to be in the correct slots and have to use
a fresh unpatched copy of gp2.

The wet race simultation will only work when patched from the belini
manager, so trackman can't be used for this purpose.
