GPL: New Tracks Please?

5 posts by 3 people · 04 Apr 1999 - 05 Apr 1999

As a complete programming duffer can I make a plea for somebody else to create two particular tracks for GPL? With all the fuss made over fictitious 'ovals' and the like, it would nevertheless be nice to have the correct 'Bugatti' circuit for 1967. If this was to be followed by a Jarama circuit for 1968 (and with the carsets being developed) two seasons could be run. And if somebody came up with a separate 'Career Mode' utility, like in (but better than) MGPRS, all the developments could be linked? Anyway, if anybody wants to take it on, I will take the credit for the idea, and keeping you from any other possibly futile endeavours like earning a living etc. Steve

The powers currently are only to convert real-life existing tracks. Those are not fictitious track but real ones in the United States. They are tracks that the CART series, or Nascar, use. Dubai is the only exception here. It's an actually fantasy tracks (there is 2 of them) that the Papyrus crew did. David flattened it and reversed it. At the moment you only have basic TRK and 3DO editors, but in the future there is some good possibility to have TRK and 3DO makers, thus making it possible to create real tracks. It won't be tomorrow, still. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -- NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -- SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -- Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -- May the Downforce be with you...

It won't be tomorrow, still. Un question, Can they take parts of one track and use them with another? For instance, taking sections of dega and adding the high banks to Monza. Please say yes someone! : ) Charles Buscher Guru_Hans Team Guru NROS Racing sponsored by Guru *** Systems.

Semi-spam_Hans and I wrote (heh!) : You could do this, as if you ever have a TRK creator, you could take some pieces of each track and create a "Ultima track" like the one for Grand Prix 2. Just remember the lengths of the corner, the radius, if the radius decreases or not, elevation, straight length, width of track, banking, camber and bingo you can assemble your ultimate track. As for adding the Monza banking, Im not sure that the "tool" from I don't say whom is creating lets you overlap a track. I mean... Im not sure you could created a 8-shaped track, because if you look at Monza carefully with the oval configuration it's a 8-shaped track, similar to Suzuka. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -- NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -- SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -- Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -- May the Downforce be with you...
