Goy is correct, as he runs the Norway Mirror for The Pits...David Noonan is working on the converters, and they will be released WHEN he is satisfied that there are no more bugs (or at least not many) to be worked out. As far as the grip comment in the first place. Grip on the tracks is editable in 2 places...the txt files, and the .trk file that is wrapped up in the .dat file of the track. NASCAR tracks run a fair amount of grip in the .trk file (we changed it for our dirt track simulation for N@50) so I would presume when the .trk was put into the GPL .dat using the converter, the grip remains the same. So, I would think that Thorsten is correct. However, I've not bothered to compare the two, I'm just guessing...

The full converter has never been released by Noonan. Which leds me to believe that Sierra/Papyrus put a stop to it. Joel Willstein [email hidden]

You need a better lead Joel :-) Geoff....er, David N will release his converter when he feels that it's ready, and he won't give a time frame either, understandably enough -- Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/

Guess you didn't see Jan Kohl's reply to your previous post Marty, so here are the relevant part of it > David Noonan is > working on the converters, and they will be released WHEN he is satisfied > that there are no more bugs (or at least not many) to be worked out Jan *usually* knows what is going on over at "The Pits"......... -- Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/
Jan, maybe you could put the question to Dave Noonan if you find the time? Btw. with the grip value stored in the .trk file it should really help doing a rain patch :) -Thorsten Jan Kohl schrieb:
