Hi experts!

Just one newbie question: how hard is to change the track direction?
We have got two oval tracks (the one by Zeppelin and Elimeno by Tony) with clockwise direction.
Is there any to change that an easy way, or have to rebuild a lot of things?

Thanks in advance, nhorry

I never tried it, but there's actually a Reverse Track option in the Action menu in GP4 Builder, so probably it's a two-click problem. Good luck. :-)

In terms of the actual track the Reverse track option in GP4 Builder should work. Unfortunately using it destroys the kerbs, banks and pitlane so all three things have to be reconstructed either with whats left or from scratch (this may have been fixed in newer versions). The track should be in reverse however as I've done this exact thing with Buddh international circuit as seen below:





If you need help with reversing them, send me the tracks in question and I may be able to have a look.

Thank you, tracks sent by PM...

Ah I now see what you mean about the banking not converting properly. It seems to hold its orginal values, whereas in reality it should be the negative of all values. Maybe this is something that can be added in future GP4 Builder releases?

For now I have manually changed the banking, cc line and fences on Elimeno to meet the original, not too difficult as its not a long track. I just need to recreate the pitlane in reverse and Elimeno Anti-Clockwise will be done. Just to note the track will be an exact reverse rather than an anti clockwise conversion so it can use the exact same wad, so things like the pitlane and banking will be backwards rather than converted.
