GPL Monza Banking Please PAPY

after watching Grand Prix again on SpeedVision, I think we should start begging PAPY for a that track, I would love to run that banked section.

Dr. Paul Hoad is working on a track editor. (http://gpl.gamestats.com/gpledit/index.html) Once they have figured out how to edit the tracks and create new ones, I am hoping for the full mOza with banking and Indianapolis. -/- WW >after watching Grand Prix again on SpeedVision, I think we should start >begging PAPY for a >that track, I would love to run that banked section.

I think it's going to be awhile before anything substantial is editable with the editor... you can currently make minor changes to car shapes, and thats it, but it is the most promising editor being developed. I'm actually far more interested in completely new cars, with more downforce, than new tracks. Brian Short

G'morning, I also would like to see the banked track at Monza, but I read somewhere that GPL could not allow cars to cross over each other, as would happen where the banked track crosses the main track just before Ascari's Corner....at that point, GPL would assume that a collision had occurred, even though the cars were actually on two seperate roadways. Oh well, perhaps we can get the sports-car track from Daytona, which does include the high banks as well as some wiggly bits on the infield.....Anyone up for a 24hour race? See ya on the track, Smogbike > after watching Grand Prix again on SpeedVision, I think we should start > begging PAPY for a > that track, I would love to run that banked section.

I doubt if this is true. I've had cars fly inches over my head with no problem to the car I was driving. Dave Ewing
Hi, you can have a taste of what was the banked monza track, if you have GP2.Goto http://grandprix2.ga-sports.com/ and dload the track .It's very fun.

David drive onto the bridge at Silverstone and wait for an AI car to go underneath. GPL doesn't like 1 car above another if they are both in contact with tarmac. Mike

Monza was re-designed (without the banking) in 67. That's why its not there. |o) -- #33 Spa...not yet. >G'morning, >I also would like to see the banked track at Monza, but I read somewhere >that GPL could not allow cars to cross over each other, as would happen >where the banked track crosses the main track just before Ascari's >Corner....at that point, GPL would assume that a collision had occurred, >even though the cars were actually on two seperate roadways.

Already some years earlier! Arto PS But when Papy/Sierra publish the Legends of 1960, the banked part of Monza will be there... :-) PS2 Dear Papy, we all wait for that! And also 70's, and 50's! Just an addon? Or a new sim? Anyway, we'll pay for it! Waiting eagerly, even when not still mastering 1967... ;-)

I went there but couldn't find the track. I did find two versions of old Monza, but both were the one GPL has already. Can you tell more exactly where it can be found? Samppa --

> I'm just trying to find a bridge you can drive on at Silverstone. It's the bridge over the straight right before the final turn. Just pull off the road on the right and drive over the bridge. It looks kind of funny as you are about to cross, but you can definitely do it. Dave Ewing
