You can view a slideshow with AMAZING screenshots from GPL at the Track Database at http://magnust.d2g.com A HUUUUGE thank you to all screenshot authors who I sadly do not have been able to credit. I really really really hope this is ok with all of you who have contributed! If there's any screenshot in the slideshow that you did and you don't want in there just contact me and I'll fix that!

Excellent job. I have seen some of those in the various forums and some were "never seen" before (by me anyway). Lawman

AND if you're on WinXP you have a built in slideshow screensaver so you just point the settings of that screensaver to the directory containing all the screenshots from the unpacked zip. Take ONE guess what my screensaver at work looks like :D Magnus T I've been thinking about this for a very very long time and finally got around to experiment (thanks to some help from Guru and MadCowie). What I did was to use the concept of snowing (at snowitude, Wow what a breakthrough THAT was!) and change the snow mips to mips with small gray dots being almost fully TRANSPARANT but not 100%. It works VERY nicely. My current problem is I don't know how to edit the 3do to make the rain fall faster (the snow falls slooooow) But I've made some very light rain which works fine even when falling this slow. I also have ready some REALLY heavy rain that looks GREAT but that MUST fall faster. So waiting to learn to fix falling speed there.... Now, I think you know that Mark Beckman has made three tracks with slippery wet surfaces. And they most definitely work VERY well too (try the wet N�rburgring!! It's SO cool... and hard, hehe!)! So add these two things together and we could have wet slippery tracks with rain falling! I'm pretty confident you can change the dust and dirt clouds to wet spray too.... And ANY add-on track can be converted to rain by the authors of the track! Just unzip the included mips into your Snowitude folder to get a very slight drizzle of rain. And pleeeeeze come back with comments on it :-) /Magnus T - - - - GPL Track Database - - - http://magnust.d2g.com - - - -

Great show, Magnus, but even with my broadband connection, some of the slides don't completely load before the next one begins. Is there a way to d/l the show so I can run it off my HD so I can give each slide the attention it deserves? "Magnus T" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Just incredible! I'm floored. Some of those shots rival some of the best racing art I've seen. My hat's off to the artists of GPL and to the drivers/artists who contributed the shots. Thank you. Jim Magnus T wrote:
