Andy Nystrom mentioned that you can convert F1RC Tracks into 3DS Max. Anyone know anything about this? Cheers Doug
Yeah, I'd love to hear about that too. Ian "Douglas Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:adibtg$11c5l5$[email hidden]...

I had heard that F1RC tracks were trussed up tighter then a Christmas turkey, but... Reading between the lines, I think the GP4 guys bought the GPS data for the tracks from them so we might have a way of grabbing them yet. Still hoping someone has cracked F1RC though as I think the GP4 guys won't build with the same attention to detail.

I dont really remember right now, but anyway, i think it was Dennis Grebe? who had the tool. He got it from someone else i think. He had screenshot of one of the tracks from F1RC in 3dsmax or ligthwave whatever. "Douglas Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:adibtg$11c5l5$[email hidden]...

F1RC is the white one in the hungaroring i think, since the other one is missing the suble corner. And i guess the black on spa is F1 2001. He never said which one was which actually. The one of the spas that are like the real one is F1RC :) Try to match up F1RC's tracks with the real ones, and see if they are accurate :) "Phil Lee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:adjbik$11odut$[email hidden]... > "Andreas Nystr�m" <[email hidden]> wrote > > Ok, here his pictures are from a comparsion SPA and hungaroring fromF1RC

I'm seriously thinking that ISI is doing their tracks by guess, without any serious information or technical data. They should fire all the track modelers for sure. And hire the guys from Ubisoft, I'm sure they are working on the F1RC patch at this moment <roll eyes> -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://www.ymenard.8m.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

Ok, Hungaoring doesn't match. But Spa just looks like the blue overlay needs to be rotated a bit counterclockwise...

The geometry and elevation of the F1RC tracks may be accurate but there is not one bump to be found in any track and it feels like you are hovering above the track because of it. IMO.

I thought that SCGT had a big advantage over the GPL tracks because they modeled very small bumps...(well big bumps in a small area might be a better way to describe it) Papyrus tracks are not so much bumpy but maybe lumpy. the rising and falling is more gradual and probably in some cases, less realistic. Folks who live in warm climates might not know what frost heaves are in a road surface, but ISI can do'em, Papyrus can't or doesn't. However, they bumps in ISI tracks have often been commented on as too severe. But I'd rather have bumpy on a road course than glass smooth like the F1RC tracks. dave henrie
