Re: GPL AND THE RING FOR REAL ..... {SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISONS}

Already done, Vail. "In Car 956". with Derek Bell at the wheel. Papyrus did a damn fine job with not only the 'Ring but also Kyalami, Silverstone and Mr. Noonan was spot-on with Brands Hatch. Vail Riches wrote:

Very impressive! I must admit, for the first time, GPL really astounds me by how close to the pictures it is.... and the 1 branch in the first picture....what mad man added that...now that detail:-) But one , Thing I nnoticed at some place is the grass next to the track..... I know the ring , you are on the limit in GPL, but in real life ther is some very valuble run-off space there..... Was it not added in GPL to make the Ring look more daring?

For those that might of missed it here is comparisons of the real Nurburgring and the GPL software version side by side. Hyperstims Jon Crooke recently raced a 356 Porsche in a 2 hour enduro at the old Nurburgring in Germany. He had a incar camera an has taken some stills so as to compare with the software. here is the comparisons http://www.hyperstim.com/home_units/news/nurburgreport99/nurb99comparision.h tml And here is his observations and his story. http://www.hyperstim.com/home_units/news/nurburgreport99/nurb99story.html

the 'ring was changed several times (biggest change in '70 or '71), removing some turns, jumps and adding run-off space. Lio

Oh right, I haddent known that, but how do you get the landscpae to look like that? I'm not an expert in digging things up but those features look more like a natural feature at some points than man-made?!!?! But I'll take your work for it:-) Thanks

uhm? my work? maybe you got me wrong. I was talking about the real ring and it was mostly changed around my birth ;-) I don't know how papy designed the scenery in GPL especially of the ring, but they must have watched looooooots of photos and films ... Lio
