I will say this once, and only once, do NOT request for converted tracks on this newsgroup. If you are not familiar with piracy laws, it is illegal to post anything which contains copyrighted code from a software company, posting the full tracks does break this law, *internationally*, because most countries support US Copyright Codes. We provided these converters for racers to get more enjoyment from current racing sims that they own, NOT to proliferate software piracy and copyright infringments. We at The Pits do run No Piracy Network, and we (and other NPN sites) do actively take part in enforcing copyright laws. Do the right thing...buy the games. ICR2 and N2 can be bought now for almost a song, and N99 is not far behind. If you live in a foriegn country, try 4cds.com for international orders. It amazes me that people will spend $200+ dollars on a wheel/pedals, $150 for a 3d card, $80 for a sound card, and then want people to give them a $10 game for free. If you are unfamiliar with copyright and piracy laws...you can be forgiven just this once. However, you now should take the time to visit NPN ([link lost in import] to get the full scoop.

So when is some capitalist gonna post a site where I can buy the durned software? How come the said software companys dont set up a site where we can pay 10 bucks to download the track files? I gotta go the the mall and hope I can find the right game? Thanks for the new track editor though, nice work. Lew Hosier Chuck Skidmore

Jan, any chance on releasing a converter for the other tracks like Laguna Seca, Taladega, Portland, Elkhart Lake, ... ? John

Lewis, that is a VERY good idea, and I'll bring it up with Papy and see if there is any way we can do that. Of course they're problably not going to go for N99/N2 games just yet (can still get money out of those), but maybe N1/ICR2 tracks! I'll do a little work and see what we can come up with... ;] Cheers! ??Jan Kohl?? **The Pits Performance Team** Computer Systems Programmer USAF Air-Ground Operations School Hurlburt Field, FL Castle Graphics - http://www.castlegraphics.com/ The Pits - http://www.theuspits.com/ >So when is some capitalist gonna post a site where I can buy the durned >software?
