Has anyone come up with any new tracks or different versions of existing tracks yet? Next, has anyone figured out how to change the number of laps in a given event from what papy thinks we should have? For instance, their "long" race at Nurburgring is 5 laps, but the GP length is 20 laps. I'd like to increase the race lengths to my ovn values. (I won't bring up the damage model selection concept...) -- ========================================================= John Simmons - Redneck Techno-Biker (Zerex12) http://www.members.home.net/jms1/index.html John Simmons - Barbarian Diecast Collector http://members.home.net/jsimm/diecast_index.html IGPS Director http://members.home.net/jms1/igps.html If you want to send me email, go to either of the URL's shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

This is quite easy and even work for online-racing. :-) Just open the "67season.ini" file in your "../gpl/seasons" folder and edit the number of laps for each track. The various realims/damage levles use different precentages of the total number of laps or the GP distance. If i remember right they are: 8% of GP distance for "novice races" 15% of GP distance for "int./pro *short*" races. 30% of GP distance for "int./pro *long*" races. Like I said these race-lengths can be used in multiplayer races aswell... and the good thing is that *ONLY* the host need a modified "67season.ini" file. In the IGPLC we've been using mod. race-lengths since November and that has worked great! Check out http://home.c2i.net/thepaddock/IGPLC if you need more examples of what i mean.. :) -- All the best, Edwin Solheim **remove spamguard in address to reply** Drop by "The Paddock - a legendary site....." for some cool GPL stuff! http://home.c2i.net/thepaddock
Nigel Patison has come up with a program that will change that. It can be found here: http://start.at/KOTR It is listed under the files section. Peter

I'm already following that development. I hope someone figures out a way to convert the N2 road courses (including the fantasy tracks) to GPL. Or how about 20 Grand prix cars at Martinsville? It would be pretty cool.
