Im not sure if the guys at TWI announced this, but Desert Winds for
GPL was released some time back. I look around the GPL web sites and
see no comment on it so I am assuing not many know about it.

Watkins Glen with the BOOT had better come first!!! ;-)

I got to
visit IMS when they were still building the F1 course and I have been
considering it ever since. The only thing that has held me back is the
knowledge that IMS will not allow it to be posted for long... Im sure
of it.
Watkins Glen w/ boot sounds interesting though.
But Tim! The web is the proverbial 'Genie in a Bottle'. Just post it at
two or three places and the dynamics of the web will do the rest....Just ask
Papyrus how sucessful they were in stopping Daytona from being spread all
over.
But enough of this "Indy Foo Fa Raw" You should be concentrating on
MID OHIO! or Road America...these two tracks are BEGGING for an
update...the original ICR2 versions are just just too plain and level.

Free the ICR2 source code!

hehe, yea I feel the same way. I would love to redo a lot of courses
included in the Papy sims... from ICR2 tracks to a lot in N3 that are
made wrong. I am compiling my list of remakes starting with the N3
tracks, then I will have to go buy ICR2 again to start on those. I
have only a few months to do this as N4 will be out soon enough, then
my efforts move to N4 track creating.
So far my plans are:
- Watkins Glen inner loop fix - Done just not released yet
- Martinsville fix - Track is wrong length, couple other tracks like
this too
- IMS banking fix - N3 track is banked at 12 degrees, should be 9
degrees (easy fix though)
- Dega and Tona are incorrect lengths too, but not worth a redo.
Will probably move onto a few legends tracks that are begging for a
realism update (and then.... someonme just sparked a flame up my butt
about a Glen with boot... which I will probably do for N3/NL/and ask
Noonan to convert it to GPL as wel)l. If I have enough time, I will
then put together a quick IMS-F1 course and see what happens with
that.
I have been talking to most all the tracks here in CA about doing
thier tracks like what I did with Sears99 and 97... all have shown
interest and I may do Buttonwillow, Thunderhill, possible remake of
Laguna Seca, and I already have plans for Stockton99 Speedway (1/4
mile short tarack, lost of fun).
As you can see, I have a full plate. Still have 6 tracks (Desert Winds
Oval, Trenton, Glen Fix, Ford Testing track in Texas [4 mile circle],
a skidpad, and even a 3 mile conventional oval with speeds rivaling
Dega... think if old Atlanta and Dega mated) to be released in the
next month or two so keep an eye out. Anyone heard of an oval track in
England? Hmmmm *wink*
In all seriousness, I would hate to redo a track that I have not been
to (Mid Ohio, etc) or at least have the blueprints to (though most can
be obtained with a few phone calls). I wouldnt do much better a job
then any other guy that guesses at the right numbers. Anyone wanna pay
for my flight? I had the blueprints to Mid Ohio at one point. oops :-(

It just feels "right" for want of a better word, and it certainly is
one of the very best tracks we have in GPL for on-line competition..
A really great job...
Any chance of doing the F1 track at Indy.. ? <G>
Cheers,
Ron
