Nurburgring - What happened?

A while ago there was some talk of the original Nurburgring being converted over from GPL to other sims. Did this ever happen or was it cancelled due to legal issues with Papyrus?

Apparently its still going (for F1-2002 and SCGT?) but the guy thats making it wants it to be 100% perfect so its gonna take quite a while!!!

There'll be a version out in the next couple of weeks for SCGT and Racer - http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43730. There'll then be another Racer version in a few months (or however long it takes) with improved accuracy and higher detail. We're messing about with the track in MAX matching it up to GPS data from motorbike laps, trying to correct for the distortion in the original GPL track. SBDT are apparently making the F1 2002 version but I don't know anything about that.

I think it's too long of a course. NR only supports tracks up to a certain length. -Larry "Damien Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ap08g2$qc3hs$[email hidden]... > A while ago there was some talk of the original Nurburgring beingconverted > over from GPL to other sims.

And furthermore, if they added code to specifically block longer tracks, wouldn't a savvy Hex-editor type person be able to find that data and excise it?

I totally agree Dave, but if Dave N and a couple of the other guys over here says it can't be done, then it can't be done.....yet :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "A man is only as old as the woman he feels" --Groucho Marx--
