>Great!! Now Who's going to make INDY TRACK?????? You probably would get in big trouble if you made that track... Tony George's lawyer's would be knocking on your door within hours of your posting it... Now, maybe someone should make the no-longer-in- existance-track that was called Ontario Motor Speedway... :-) - Mike. ============================================ Mike Holthouse - Indianapolis, IN My new philosophy is to never explain my philosophies.

After a quick look at this thing, all I can say is "wow"... I haven't played around with it enough to say if that's a good "wow" or a bad "wow"... right now, let's just leave it at "wow".... It looks very complex and very powerful. It also appears to be very difficult to use - not your basic end user program, but more like a developer's tool. Not every Tom,***, and and Harry on the internet is going to be able to use this thing to make a track. I suppose that's a good thing... it looks like it will take real talent to make a decent track. I suppose that's a bad thing (for me anyway - I don't know if I've got that kind of talent!) It's worth noting that this is not just a track editor program. The program will also let you set various graphics and sound options (though the sound option menu doesn't seem to work on my machine). It also looks like it will be possible to modify car and driver pictures (we may be able to get rid of Carl Haas once and for all!). Should be interesting to see just what the folks here can do to improve CPR... Maybe it's all part of the Microsoft *** - first, they trick us into paying them to be their beta testers, now they are being very generous and giving us the tools to develop the thing for them! :-) :-) Like I said - wow... it will be very interesting to see what shows up in the next few months... Just my 2 cents' worth of opinions on 1 cent's worth of examining the editor... - Mike. ============================================ Mike Holthouse - Indianapolis, IN My new philosophy is to never explain my philosophies.

It is the developers tool! First good thing I have to say about CPR. I doubt the average user will ever come to grips with it by the sounds of things but if this is the beginning of a trend for sim developers then it may be the best thing to come out of CPR. If there is ever a CPR 2 and MS get that right and follow it up with a fully end user usable editor then this could really hot up things in the competition between developers. Not to mention how happy I would be to see so many of these arseholes that demand licensing fees for their? tracks end up with nothing :) -- We are the Hosh! You will be assimilated!
