When I was 12 years old, my dad and I made a slot car track on a 12'x4'
plywood sheet with grand stands, timer, banked turns, and the like. The
track has long ago decayed due to lack of care. Now its 20 years later, and
I would like to make this track for use in N2 and ICR2. I have DL'd most of
the available (as far as I know) track editors, but none allow for the
actual creation of a track. Does such a proggie actually exist? And if so,
where? Again, ANY help here would be greatly appreciated.

There are no track editors for Papy sims. The closest you will get is that there are
some people who can adjust the banking/elevation of some of the tracks (Flat Glen, Eagles
Landing - high banked Michigan, California - low banked Michigan), but there is nothing to
create new circuits al all unfortunately. Papy "claim" that their tracks/track creators
are too complex for us mere mortals. Or in other words, they want us to buy their track
packs!

and take that C++ class I have been meaning to take. There WILL be a track
creator in about 6 months (unless someone else does it first). Relax Papy, I
wont release it to the general public, just to the No Piracy ICR / Nascar
sites. Sorry folks, but I have to keep myself out of trouble too.
tracks/track creators
not tracks, but rather, a track editor / creator. I am going to need some
MAJOR help with the understanding of all the files in the track dat files, I
am getting there though :)
Wouldnt that be nice? I am glad you think its posible to write tracks for papy
in C++ maybe it will work I would love to see it. Good Luck!!
Randy,
You might want to check out BB&B,
http://sim***world.simplenet.com/bbb/, they are working on a track editor --
according to the News section of their page, it should be available "soon". I
don't know if that's a real-world "soon", or a software-world "soon", though.
