IRC2 --> GPL track conversion question

by SS » Fri, 11 Jun 2004 22:33:22

I'd like to be able to run mid-ohio in gpl (in preparation for a visit out
there to see the US LeMans race in a couple weeks) and I understand that the
to run mid-ohio in gpl requires conversion of an IRC2 track.  Never having
done any track conversions (and not owning IRC2), I'm not quite sure how to
go about this.  Could someone recommend a good site with instructions and/or
links to necessary files.  And if I need to purchase a copy of IRC2 first to
get this to work, any thoughts on where I might find a copy?

Thanks -- itazura

   The icr2 > GPL version of Mid Ohio is not very accurate.  You'd
probably get a better experience using one of the F1c versions of Mid
Ohio.

Now if only I could locate a copy of F1C somewhere in this hemisphere for
less than $70!

Dave Noonan (sp?) did the converter (icr2gpl). I just ran across the
Demo converter, but it only converts a few tracks; and I don't think
Mid-Ohio is among them. To convert Mid-Ohio, I think you'll need the
full Converter, which costs money. I don't know where it's available or
how much it is. . . .

I think I may have just found the full converter. Try here:

Good luck. Have fun  at the real race. Simming always enhances my
experience, too.
