There are 3 track editors for GPL that I know of, Phil Flack, Martijn and David Noonan, none of which are available for download I'm afraid :-) Sorry mate, to the best of my knowledge there isn't an "easy to use" tool available for making GPL tracks......

Does 3DO-ACAD (which I just spotted in the Utils section at GPLEA) work with track files? Of course you would need Autocad 14 or 2000. "Goy Larsen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I honestly don't know how these guys do it, but since both Phil and Martijn are both very talented people and it has taken them this long to make to make 3 tracks, then it's obviously a fairly complicated/time consuming task, as for David Noonan, well, when you've worked with simulators as long as Geoff Crammond has, you learn a few things....

Though there is no editor available at the moment, I am pretty sure we might see something soon. Recently there have been tracks emerging from a growing number of sources and I don't think it will be too long before this knowledge becomes obtainable to everyone.

There's a track editing forum here if you're interested. No Track creation programs available though. http://pub23.ezboard.com/bgpl50066 Kev Rich wrote:

Papyrus made the decision that GPL would not be an open format, and did not publish any info on the track format. This has meant that several third parties have through a lot of work, independently developed their own track editing technology, but do not want to release it into the public domain. Hopefully, one of these people will release their editor at some point. Although this will lead to a lot more substandard tracks being released, it might mean some of the more obscure tracks get done. - Michael
