Who can help?

I need a racing simulator that either has the West Palm Beach Moroso Track or a game in which I can design my own track. Thank you

It is possible to design your own tracks in Grand Prix Legends. Check out http://www.gplea.org . These guys build tracks for GPL, so they might be able to help you out. --- Joeri J.

And ofcourse, I can convert it to my own sim then. :) Ruud van Gaal, GPL Rank +53.25 Pencil art : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/ Car simulation: http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/racer/

The volume and complexity of some of those physics discussions here imply that you're developing some GPL-killer car simulation. What is the status on the project? When do we get to toy with it? :) +Cinquo [GPLRank 27.14]

I'm creating an open (NOT Open Source, as almost everyone seems to think) and free car sim. It's called Racer and it is meant as an engine rather than an actual racing game itself. This is because I don't want to limit myself too much on doing one era, or one type of racing, but rather want to see if I can keep it flexible enough to create a Stunt Car Racer (my personal wish) to a GPL2-ish type of thing. Someone is already looking into doing a (free) game based on it. Not really a GPL-killer carsim yet though; there's a very high level of physics included in that game, mind you. But it's definitely a goal to reach for, although more fun-and-run type racing games should be possible. But always with a good sense of realistic driving. As for toying with it, follow the link in my sig, http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/racer/ and see for yourself. You can already drive some on a track. I just upgraded the physics engine this weekend (it now uses quaternions and gyroscopic precession for the car body), and I have a 'view' working (look at a view as a 'cockpit description'; you can place dials and bitmaps to get an RPM readout for example). I have laid out plans for a replay function. Basically the replay itself is of not too much interest to me, but rather I want a ghost car. But that takes laptimes (well, lap detection), so there's a next thing to do. But try the current version. It's possible (though still a bit manual on the physics side) to import Sports Cars GT cars, and tracks. Furthermore, it's relatively easy to build your own car or track, compared to current sims. Well, the track part needs quite some extra miscellaneous info, like time lines and grid positions. The site also contains a lot of info about what I'm doing and how the sim functions. Hope you enjoy it. :) Ruud van Gaal, GPL Rank +53.25 Pencil art : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/ Car simulation: http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/racer/
