Perhaps the guy who made GPL Reverse can also make a program for number 1 and 3, then we have 276 tracks to drive on in total :)) Andre > >Remco > >

No it doesn't - you can also combine the Z-reversal with X-reversal, Y- reversal or both. So there are over 1000 possible tracks. But since using over 64 tracks means a lot of manual editing (until a tool appears to simplify this...) all this is a bit academic. -- David.

Well I guess the lap times for these tracks in reverse, once gotten used to, should be pretty similar to the times when driven normally. Mmm, seeing as I'm struggling to improve any of my current laps times - a tenth here or there - I see a new target worth trying out. Seeing if I can drive quicker going reverse compared to normal. And come to think about it, would it be possible to have a GPLrank of all the tracks in reverse? Just a thought. :) -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) Remove ALL_STRESS before replying No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.

Hi GPL (and LPG :-) racers... I tried to use the interesting gplrev to make a reversed Monza. The program makes the aznom directory, but then there is a memory problem: While converting monza.3do the program stops and prints: Error allocating 1179744 bytes of memory I have 523 Mb free space in my C-disk. The RAM is 64 Mb. No other programs are running... Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Arto

Just a thought. :) The corner stone of GPLRank is the sum time of the 11 included replays, and the fact that your times for these tracks are automatically written to your player.ini.

If you cut it too close it spins you right around! On the plus side I now at least have the satisfaction of watching the AI get theirs at the chicane. Every race at least a couple of the drivers misjudge their entry and end up backwards, Actually I have to say that GPL Reverse does a decent job at Monaco, aside from a few wierd graphic glitches which is quite understandable. The AI runs wide at the reversed Mirabeau and ends up on the sidewalk which leave a nice opening for a pass, but otherwise they run the course quite well. I also tried a reversed Laguna Seca.

This guy should be able to put all the tracks inline, first all in correct direction and then reversed.
