There is a history of track convertors for Papyrus sims. Many of the tracks of GPL have been converted for use with N3, but they are not widely available. However, several of the tracks will not work properly due to the limitations of N3's track format. Tracks with lots of elevation changes(The Ring, Spa) and/or narrow hairpins(Rouen, Monaco) present a real problem for the N3 engine. The 'HOPE" is that N4 is close enough in file formats to GPL to allow a complete conversion of tracks like the Ring. However at this time, no progress has been made by the established track gurus. Pay attention to sites like theuspits.com or GPLEA, they will probably be the first one who suceed. dave henrie "oz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:98iqnd$m9c$[email hidden]...

"Rally Championship 2000" have some monster stages, and its a good sim IMHO. It's been a while since i played it, but as far as i recall some of the stages are 10-15 minutes pure intense adrenaline rush. Mikkel Gram-Hansen http://www.simracing.dk
