I think almost everybody here would agree that what N4 needs is more road courses. Everybody that agrees with that knows that there is an effort afoot that will bring some of the GPL tracks to N4. To whomever is performing these track conversions, I'd like to propose that the existing N4 road tracks (Sears Point and Watkins Glen) could be "reversed" as well. It takes a completely different mindset to drive these courses in the reverse and I think it would be loads of fun. The benefit of reversing these tracks is that they're already in the correct format. The only things I can think of that would need to be changed are the pit walls (maybe only at sears point) and the track.ini settings. -- ========================================================= Redneck Techno-Biker & "programming deity" http://www.paddedwall.org/john DeMONS/1 for Nascar Racing 3 & Nascar Legends http://www.paddedwall.org/demons DeMONS/2 for Nascar Racing 4 (in development) http://www.paddedwall.org/demons2 Barbarian Diecast Collector (460+ cars and counting) http://www.paddedwall.org/diecast If you want to send me email, go to the first URL shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

Not sure about the different mindset requirement, but I do agree it would be fun.

Like madDAWG suggested, some shorter ovals would be ideal. For me personally, packed earth flat 1/4 mile ovals, clockwise direction, standing starts eight abreast and a set of fully sorted 3d models. ratbag couldn't do it right, maybe we could butcher something of papy's into shape :o) cheers John
It needs more tracks (rather than oversized toilet seats) <g> Ash - leaving for another country for the weekend - flame at will :) MadDAWG <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3b39ddb8$[email hidden]...
