The only problem is that you must slow down every time in Hedersbachkurve to say hello to Santa... ;-) Thanks again GPLEA folks! By the way, is there any way to have both Solitude and Snowitude among the tracks? I made a copy of the Solitude directory, changed its name to Snowitude, and added the new things to the latter, added its lines to the 67season.ini. Doesn't work like that! Works only when in Solitude folder. Arto

The grip level is the same as the regular version. GPL on snow would have been interesting though. It would really take forever to put those rockets to speed with the insignificant grip, and braking for the hairpin at solitude after the long straight would be a real challenge. You probably had to start braking right after that devilish left kink/jump. Would be fun, remember to put a unboiled egg between your throttle foot and the gas pedal :) -- Olav K.

There is a way to do it, but you have to change the names of some files in the track.dat. I'm not sure about the exact method but it has been discussed in the GPLEA forum. -- don GPL Programs for the Converted Tracks: http://www.ianparker.co.uk/gpl/bapom/
Of course, if you wanted to simulate a bit of black ice here and there just use the engine swapper to drop a F1 engine into a F3 chassis. Crazy ride <G> MS Olav K. Malmin <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
