The graphics of the converted rendition tracks aren't quite up to the standards of the original GPL tracks, but in most cases, they are close, and certainly better than the plain ICR2 tracks. Although, one question I have is, what's up with the Cleveland sky? It looks like some kind of bizarre alien landscape<g>. > > Can I d/l the rendition versions if necessary? Not legally..... nudge, nudge...wink, wink...I bought a Rendition version of CART Racing from the Sierra site for $9.99, it was delivered in 2 days. > Are the converted tracks as good quality as the original GPL tracks? See above NB: Other GPL sites you should check out: http://simracing.com/alison/gpl/ - You must read her section on converting the rendition tracks. http://www.the-fastlane.com/index.shtml - patches, utilities, graphics, sounds, etc... http://website.lineone.net/~richardn/ - setup and driving tips, general GPL fun. http://www.kotr.de/GPL/ - The GPL Preservation Society.

Hi again, Something I forgot - can someone point me to where I can find Dave Noonan's track converter? Also, do I need to have rendition versions of the ICR tracks to make it worthwhile? I only have the 'ordinary' version of ICR2. Can I d/l the rendition versions if necessary? Are the converted tracks as good quality as the original GPL tracks? THanks. Nick

Howdy ho, boys & girls, Yes, the tracks are worth getting even if you don't have the Rendition versions ... they're just prettier, with a little more detail ... makes it a little easier to judge corners. Yr friend in the aether, smogbike chainbreaker wrote:
