Thinking about making a track...

I'm kicking around the idea of doing this as a first track project: http://www.pvgpa.org/2001/htm/CourseMap.html It's the course used for the Pittsburgh Vintage GP and it has some bigtime elevation changes and runs through one of the most gorgeous urban parks in America. Would any of you guys actually be interested in driving this baby? Jason

No. Nothing personal... Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank - under construction... Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

For GPL. Although it would definitely be a fun track in SCGT or F12*. In addition to the trackmap I posted, check out the photos on http://www.pvgpa.org to get an idea of the elevation changes and scenery. It's a really cool course (all public roads too).

Yes, absolutely! I spent a lot of time there, and can help out with the changes in that area since 1967. Forbes Field still existed, for example. :-) Ed jason moyer wrote in message ...

It's a really cool course (all public roads too). I'm warming to it.... Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.

Most likely what I'm going to do is the modern VGP course, then a 67era VGP course (if that's possible, schenley park has changed significantly so I'll have to make some detours) and then what I *really* want to make are some fictional 67era pittsburgh street courses showcasing some of the different city areas (the first one probably would focus on south side with a short loop across the mon via the old point bridge and back over smithfield st bridge to carson). Need to get my track editing skills polished up before attacking that one. If I do a 67 VGP course I'd definitely appreciate help with the Forbes Field graphics. =) I'm already trying to figure exactly how to model Phipps Conservatory for the modern one and the glowing sky for the 67 one. =) Jason "Ed Bauer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<a1unma$su39k$[email hidden]>...

Jason, I hate to tell you this, but I am already working on Schenley Park for GPL. I have completed the track profile and am currently tweaking the altitudes and laying in the surrounding hills' altitudes. I never told anyone in the GPL community (except my brother) about my plans because I wanted to surprise people with it. My problem is twofold: 1) I have never been entirely comfortable with the idea of "claiming" tracks. If you wish to build a track, I don't feel I have the right to tell you that you can't because I'm working on it. And 2) I work full-time and take classes part-time, so I'm really time crunched. I started working on the track in June and probably won't finish it for at least another 6 months because of my schedule. I am certainly willing to share the workload with you if you're interested. The most important thing to me is that the project get finished. E-mail me if you're interested. Michael Lowery jason moyer wrote:
