With an opportunity now to drive GPL cars on Elkhart, Mid-America and so
forth, looks like I'm gonna finally have to break down and buy a
Rendion-based card.
Anyone care to recommend one? Maybe a vendor for it, too? Thanks, I'm
severely hardware impaired.
Regards,
Kurt
You don't need a Rendition card to use the CART/ICR2 tracks like Elkhart
Lake and Mid-Ohio in GPL. You just need any version of CART or ICR2,
and David Noonan's GPL Track Converter. The tracks, once converted to
GPL, will run in any GPL installation, including on Voodoo or TNT cards.
More details here:

Click on Help, then Add-Ons, and look at the Tracks and 3D Kits
sections.

ps. Allison, I remember these kits, I seem to have had problems with
them not installing...probably I didn't follow the 'structions properly.
Track seekers might also check the the BBB track editing project. They
upgraded many of the ICR2 tracks. Probably a link to it from the Sim
Project or Sim Cyberworld.

Agreed. I just bought a Rendition Card, actually, to replace an S3 as
my primary to go with a Voodoo II. The machine is slow by today's standards,
233mmx, and won't see any improvements for modern games. That said, it is one
hell of a racing platform for ICR2, Nascar99, GP2, and SODA.
But agreed, with a newer system, the Rendition Cards are not a viable
option anymore.
