Modifying GPL Handling to Simulate CART???

Is this possible? Is anyone working on it? Sky

From the little I know about programming...yes its possible but you have to be Papyrus to do it. In order to do this you need the source code which nobody but Papy has. So dont hold your breath waiting for some one (or group of people) to turn GPL into a modern CART sim. Now someone might make a CART carset for GPL and maybe even a CART carshape but dont expect new handling characteristics. There are a very very few people talented enough to do this that dont already work for a programming firm. You can hope...but like I said, dont hold your breath. And to answer your second question no...nobody AFAIK is working on it. Chris

i doubt that they could make that im not no GPL know-it-all but i think they would have to change the............. ahh hell, what am i saying... lmao

I doubt it'll ever happen. =-( -- Chuck Kandler #70 K&S Racing http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/thepits/195 Competitor in the TopGear MGPRS2 league at: http://topgear.dhs.org/ Come on & join the fun! They'll call you names And spit in your face, But legends never die. --Gene Simmons

What I would also love to see would be a '68 or '69 Trans Am conversion... Think about it...it wouldn't be as hard as doing CART, since aero was not adjustable (was it?) or at least not a huge factor... Really, you would only need to make new 3d models, a new cockpit for closed cars, new sounds... That, and you would only need to edit the code a little to up the weight of the cars and change the collision detection (unless that automatically changes with the 3d models) and prolly change the tire characteristics a little...one mod that may need to be done (under collision detection) would be to eliminate the flipping etc that happens when you bang wheel to wheel...GPL may have that coded in separately from the collision, who knows...of course it doesn't happen in Trans Am... -- Kirk Lane [email hidden] [email hidden] ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "Yeah you won't find me I'm going MIA Tonight I'm leaving Going MIA Getting lost in you again Is better than being known" -Foo Fighters, "MIA" Chuck Kandler <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Schlomo4 wrote: > > > > From the little I know about programming...yes its possible but you have to be > > Papyrus to do it.

I gather that the structure of GPL must be really different from N2 (or N1999), since the Pits has a touring car championship which modifies the handling of the N2/99 cars.
