GPL - New GPLEA car projects

Well, the guys from the GPLEA have been pretty quiet of late, but these "works in progress" shots show that they've been very busy - really astonishingly good stuff: http://www.sportplanet.com/gpl/html/cars/carprojects/carprojects.htm Take particular note of the drivers' helmets - all appear to be fully 3D now, with individual (accurate) paintjobs for each driver's helmet. Both of the Hondas are based off the Ferrari 3DO apparently (which makes sense, given the engine configuration and "nest of snakes" exhaust). The Eagle is apparently very close to release (yay!), with only minor tweaks to the 3DO still to be done. Rick

Rick... That capability has always been in GPL. Same with the colored engine components and driver's arms (colored suits) and hands (gloves) with rounded knuckles and life-like fingers instead of "blocks." Its just that nobody's done it yet (until now). I never could figure that out....??? Tom

They look terrific. Let's just hope that the matched cockpits, suspension units and shocks are as good as (if not better than) the jf 1.2 (update 2) carset. Or perhaps we could marry those to these bodies? Great work GPLEA! Alan "Rick Baumhauer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9ninfs$7kuu8$[email hidden]...

Alan.....could you be more specific about the "jf 1.2" update for shocks and suspension? Got a URL for it? Tom

Hi Tom, If Alan and you are talking about the carset I am thinking of, the URL is: http://qsilver.webmages.com/jfcarset/ If not....well...heh...can't help you. :-(

So... do these guys have incredibly low GPLRanks, hence they can afford to spend time creating carsets - or ridiculously high 'Ranks because they never spend any time driving? ;-) Jonny

That I don't have time to play GPL as much as I'd like, never mind spending hours developing new graphics or whatever :-( Jonny

Hey, I for one agree with you Tom, updated driver would be great! Rafe Mc On Mon, 10 Sep 2001 17:00:23 GMT, "Tom Pabst" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Things go together. It's the same with me. I'm almost able to dismantle and reassemble the LWFF on the long straight at Nurring. JensSchumi BTW: Doing that at Avus is no challenge ;-) On Mon, 10 Sep 2001 23:01:55 +0100, "Jonny Hodgson" <[email hidden]> wrote:
