LOL Maybe an explanation would be good here.
All of those circuits are actually original Papyrus tracks, but they are reversed!! As it is the 50th anniversary of the 1967 season we felt that we should use those same tracks. But as we are running those in the Sunday night 67 races we felt that it would be a little simple to run the same tracks on Tuesdays.
All of this seasons racing in the Specials Trophy will run backwards around the original 67 tracks. So, there is no excuse for not knowing the tracks, ahem
, but perhaps you will see them from a different perspective.
This has taken a little bit of background work to set up, nothing is ever quite as easy as one might think.
We intend to run a practice race at Aznom ( Monza) next week and to test that everyone can make the small adjustments necessary for this.
If I can do it, then literally anyone and his dog should be able to get this working!!! I am looking for a couple of volunteers to test the changes over the next few days before it is released to the general membership for the seasons racing.
I have a zipped folder containing the reversed track files ( thanks to Axel for those) and a 76SEASON.ini ( 67SEASON reversed)file ready.
As everyone has to be using GEM in order to run the 60fps this makes the procedure quite straightforward.
1) Download the folder
2) unzip and place the circuit files in your SIERRA\GPL\TRACKS folder wherever that is on your system.
3) unzip and place the 76SEASON.ini file in your SIERRA\GPL\SEASONS folder.
4) Open GEM and you should find the 76SEASON listed behind the "SEASONS" button which will have all of the reversed tracks listed for you.
5) select the track required from the main list.
6) Choose the particular carset that you wish to use and go racing.
If there are a couple of members with time on their hands and can test this please get in touch via PM with an email address and I can forward the folder for the test.
Once we are happy that this works OK we will upload the folder to one of our servers or a download site and everyone can grab a copy.
In theory we can now run any track in the reverse direction and have effectively doubled the number of available tracks.
