rec.autos.simulators

Although many of the add-on tracks appear to be modelled from the
ground up, I notice that some tracks are conversions from other sims
eg codemasters Race Driver

One of the tracks I have d'loaded is the Gold Coast Indy track. This
appears to be an adaption from an earlier title (Race Driver) I
believe.

My question is if that is true, can the circuits be lifted off the
latest version Race Driver 2? and just replaced into the circuts
folder?

I would try, but I have fiddled with these add-on's now for week and
got the desired outcome. i would flip if I messed it all up now.

I not I would love to see if someone can manage it so that we can race
the V8 mod on the later version which is a far more realistic
representation of the circut.

   There is quite a-bit more to converting the tracks than just moving
from one sim's folders to another.  You have to deconstruct the track
with a 3d program and then re-order/re-label everything so it matches the
new format.  
Some utils help in this project but it is a very time intensive
procedure.  Well above my head.
