Re: Banked Monza being made for GPL!

Banked Monza track for GPL in progress

Rumours spread that a banked Monza was being built for GPL, which Martijn Keizer first dismissed. Andre Warringa then quoted a creator named Chris on the GPLEA forum confirming he was working on it, with completion months away, and Jon Van Ginneken showed his own work-in-progress layout. Posters also mentioned Solitude and rumoured Goodwood and Suzuka conversions.

Actually on the GPLEA forum someone named Chris is claiming to be working on the track right now. Whether or not the project will be completed remains to be seen, but someone is definitely giving it a go! ...Colin �artijn <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:01bfe837$f6431520$e81040d4@martijn... > Where did you get this info?? > As far as I know (pretty far) no-one is even considering making banked > Monza.

Just read this on the GPLEA forum: >> How wide was the banking? > I'm not a Monza historian, I just thought you might be making the track with banking. I found a website that has some stuff, but I don't know if it will help. the link is at the bottom of the page. Thanks, but I already had that one...and yes I am, so I guess it's official now. I wanted to wait until I was a ways along before I made anything public. I'll post a url showing my work in a few days. Final completion is still months away as I don't know the track.3do well enough yet to build tracks. However, the .trk is about 75% done. Go Chris! Go Chris! Go Chris! Andre

That's a trk I last did editing on 2 weeks ago (it's not the track Joe from GPLEA was talking about). The track needs to have the banking added in T3-T4 along with 1 more elevation line around the entire track so that banking can be done in T4. I'm certain that it's a bit inaccurate in terms of layout of the racing line, but it's difficult to connect 2 tracks together to make 1 then to make things a little worse I'm sure Papy wasn't 100% (maybe 99.99999% :-) accurate w/ their Monza which will amplify some errors a bit...I can't do the 3do though so it's really just kinda of pet project to say I did it, that's just a pic of the trk I've done using the GPLReplayAnalyzer24...I'm interested to see what GPLEA comes up with, should be nice! I can tell you that if the trk is done correctly it will work in any Sierra sim (if converted to certain sim's format), I did 2 different crossover tracks in ICR2 just after reading High Gear's interview with Kaemmer, b4 reading that article it was my impression that they would not work, but they both worked...like some of the GPLEA guys have said on their board b4, there'll probably be some problems seeing the crossover but that's no biggie when you're talkin about the 10k Monza online in both GPL, N3, and hopefully N4!

Are you sure? I read they had blueprints for all tracks except for 1 (don't know which one they missed) so it should be quite accurate. Then again, I once saw a satelite picture from Spa merged with the GPL track. Very close, but they were just a tad different at some places... Well, maybe Spa was the track of which they didn't have the blueprint. >I can't do >the 3do though so it's really just kinda of pet project to say I did it, >that's just a pic of the trk I've done using the GPLReplayAnalyzer24...I'm >interested to see what GPLEA comes up with, should be nice! Chris, the guy who is working on the banked Monza, is not related to the GPLEA team. He just posts on the GPLEA forum. I don't know if you guys should stick together to help eachother to realize the banked Monza, perhaps you could post a message on the GPLEA forum to Chris, offering the data you allready collected? He needs some detailed info about the banking height and radius... Andre (trying to help Chris getting this banked Monza done asap :)

I did say 99.999999999% accurate. Never will a track be perfect, and never will a blueprint. I know one track in my area has a length of about 1.95 miles, but if you go by an engineering company's survey it's 1.65 miles (someone's wrong and I feel it's the survey because plenty of racers report it to be 1.95, you'ld figure they'd notice a discrepincy on the odometer and fuel consumption rate if it were 1.65). Look at how bad Papy did some of the ICR2/N3 road courses...and many of those currently exist. Something always gonna be a tad different...I think with the oval it really doesn't matter though, if the radius is off by a meter or 2, or if the banking's gradient is off by a few percent because no matter what when u have turns with 38.66degrees of banking and 320m turns it's gonna be flat out and it's gonna feel like your really on the Monza banks! Well the old Spa is on streets right? Those can change over the years....so I don't know is satelite imagery is the best comparison to what they did... > >I can't do > >the 3do though so it's really just kinda of pet project to say I did it, > >that's just a pic of the trk I've done using theGPLReplayAnalyzer24...I'm > >interested to see what GPLEA comes up with, should be nice! > > Chris, the guy who is working on the banked Monza, is not related to > the GPLEA team.

Yes, Joe is from GPLEA, but the track is being made by Chris, who is not a GPLEA member. Afaik Joe has nothing to do with the banked Monza.
