GPL to N4 (tracks)

Has any of the GPL tracks been converted to N4? If so where are they (or the converter). Im interested in trying Nurburgring, Spa, and even Monza would be interesting with N4. -- ---- "For God so loved the world he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16 Chris Shearburn Driver of the #36 TSW2 Monte Carlo www.thomas-superwheel.com Member of The Pro Series http://www.theproseries.com/ Amanda Pearce www.amandapearce.com -1st in LTIC'98 Single Driver Points -9th in '98 - '99 NROS Pro Division Championship -1999 Online 500 winner -1999 Talladega Racing Series Champion -Talladega Racing Series All-Star Spring2000 Champion -TallyRally July2000 and September2000 Champion -2000 Thrustmaster/Likereal Indy LAN Tournament Pro Divison Champion ----

Seeing that video makes it worse. You can almost touch it but no, patience is a crummy release date. Have you compared .dat sizes between GPL and N4? Nurburgring in GPL is a tad under 9megs. N4 sears is 9.7megs. Thats 14.2 miles of track for 9 megs in GPL and 10 megs for an almost 2 mile track in N4. 70 meg dat for N4 Nurburgring. LOL! I dont think it'll work, bummer. Anyone?

Wouldn't the 'Ring still stay at around 9 mb? The textures, etc. will stay the same, only the file format will change slightly. N4 uses some of the biggest textures of any game available, one of the few games to fully utilise a 64mb Geforce card when all textures, 32 bit colour, etc. are on. So I don't see a huge difference, but I'm certainly no expert on gpl/N4 file formats :) On Wed, 20 Jun 2001 07:08:07 GMT, "Charlie B" <[email hidden]> wrote:
