Papyrus tracks

3 posts by 3 people · 04 Dec 1996 - 10 Dec 1996

Having become an *** to ICR2, I would like to know if someone are able to or if it is at all possible/legal to change a few minor track details. Kerbs; where have they all gone? As far as I know, the only kerbed tracks are Sears Point and Pocono. I really miss the yellow kerbs at Portland, and the Wall in turn one is just not right! It makes the corner totally blind, which is far away from the original track. Much less e***ment.... The same goes for the chicanes at Surfers and Watkins glen. I know that removing walls caters for a great deal of programming, but I hope that there are some geniuses out there with the same feelings. Of course, I don`t want the Papyrus tracks to end up like GP1/2, because kerbs there are not for use, they are too dramatic. Try straightlining any chicanes at 0.2 mph, and the car spins.....Typically Geoff Crammond! Not that I straightline the chicanes, but the possibility to do so definitely adds a touch of realism. BTW, anyone thought about converting Suzuka for NASCAR?? That would be raw! ----The art of flying is to avoid hitting the ground---

The only problem with converting suzuka is that nascar didn't use the whole track. And it would probably be impossible to do anytway. -- The wise man can pick up a grain of sand and envision a whole universe, but the stupid man will just lay down on some seaweed and roll around until he's completely draped in it. Then he'll stand up and go, "Hey, I'm Vine Man." Jack Handey. GO #2!

Some kerbs are meant for use (eg Jerez), some most definitely are not (eg the inside ones at Magny-Cours). It all depends on the philosphy behind the construction of the track. Use the kerbs that are meant to be used, keep well away from those that aren't <g> Oh, and make sure that your car is setup to make the best advantage of them! Just because _your_ car may spin when you hit them, doesn't mean that mine does ;-) Cheers, Richard
