Anyone tried the updated GP2 tracks yet?

Hi, There is this page http://aardvark.apana.org.au/~darwent/gp2/tracks.htm where updated GP2 tracks are available. Seems to me that track editing is still much in its infancy, so no Melbourne or BA yet (and I thought Xmas came early this year...). But could anyone who has tried the circuits say what has changed? Thanks, Stanley Chan

Do you know if they are available anywhere else. I can't get through to the above address. MarkH

Biggest laugh I've had in ages! GP2 Track editing is indeed here and it is, indeed, in its infancy! Save your old tracks, dl the new two from Pieters site, then run a quick-race at Monza and go to director view. Watch and enjoy :) Had me in stitches! The first steps have been taken though! Rob.

Are these "updates" mainly new logos,signs, and 3do objects added to the tracks or is the actual architecture of the tracks manipulated? Any info would be appreciated. I noticed that the guys working on Nascar tracks basically just added objects and new logos to the tracks. No real difference in the track design itself. I found they only took up HD space, i.e. Alex Santantonio's so called "Daytona". -DG-

I didn't try them myself yet, but these "new tracks" have indeed a different design. Don't get too e***d yet: the reports by people who drove them suggest that the changes are "lucky hits" with a HEX editor and that the AI cars still drive their _original_ lines for example. Still, it's a start... Hopeful, Jo Helsen =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= When everything else failed, we can still become im- mortal by making an enormous blunder....
