Sorry.

It was inspired by a post on the GPLEA forum. Someone was having trouble
with a corner and described it along the lines of, 'you know the bit
where it's fast and down hill, after that bit it goes left......for
about 4 lines.......THAT corner. That's the one I can't do'

I knew exaclty which one he meant. Someone replied saying it's much
easier if you just say it (I dunno) Scloppen Korner or something. If
he'd said that in the original post, I'd have had no idea whatsoever
which one it was :)

Glad you liked it.

You realise you may have re-defined the way we refer to corners on the
'Ring now ;-) I can't drive down the s/f straight without thinking
"coming up to Veristderbrakingpoint"!

Brilliant stuff.

Kevin, I wonder if you or someone could make up a map that would
go in the opening of "The Ring" inside GPL with your turns in it? Just
a thought.. A good one too.. <g>

I've done one, but I've edited off the 'centre of pages' fade etc for
printing purposes, and it's only a gif... About twenty minutes work in
PSP to a moderate standard!

Jonny can it be transferred into GPL something like they do when they
upgrade the tracks, menus, etc?? A Kevin type visual map would help
me remember all the turns etc.. No B.S... What ya think?

Hey, not a bad idea!
This is how you do it

Kevin tell me how you make out..ok?
I was in the commercial graphic arts field for 30+years and maybe
I might give it a whirl too.. Its been awhile since I have been apart
of a graphic project but lets see how you make out first..lol
Good Luck Thom_j.

Could probably be done, but I don't have the relevant tools to make it
into
a .mip or whatever's needed...

Ok Jonny! I got the stuff.. I might be able to try this? I am not good
on program change-over type graphics but I have done graphics for
decades.. Let me see what I can mess up?...lol Thanx Again!!
Cheers Thom_j.
