GPL - Goodwood Hillclimb??

Any skillful person want to model the Goodwood Festival of Speed *Hillclimb* course for GPL? Make an accurate hillclimb portion, then just loop a sneaky little path back to the start? It would be fun, I think. Stephen

The thought has struck our heads, but unfortunately GPL won't support something that isn't a track (as you said) and therefore the timing won't be possible. A shame really, it would be a great form of multiplayer racing if we could all connect to a server and race the hill, timed, watching each other..... but who know's what can happen in another few years? :-) Matt/GPLEA -- Matthew B.

Who cares about timing at first? We can look at replays and do some math. Of course, if someone makes it, they have to put in the crazy "cars in a spider web" display in front of the mansion.

Sure, that's the easy solution. But once you see the show they put on the front lawn of Goodwood, it would be interesting to add some scenery.

Why not just have a fun little downhill dragstrip from the top back down to the bottom? -- Kirk Lane [email hidden] Stephen Ferguson <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3998ed25$[email hidden]... > Who cares about timing at first?
