I didn't realise that either, but now that I'm aware, I wondering what happens if you inject the 88TP MD into the JB DAT? Similarly, what happens if you use the 88TP DAT with JB's WAD? If it's the same CC line then one of those two options would probably be the best solution.
Isn't GP4 great? No matter how much you learn there's always something new to fix. It is a shame that we all spend so much time fixing the same things though. There's a lot of duplication of effort and for new users especially it's a minefield. How much easier would it be if we had a repository of definitive mods, tracks and cars, all fixed up and ready to go. The one that I always think of, because I spent ages and ages refining it when I didn't have a clue was the '79 mod. It's just not reasonable to expect a new user to download the beta and start from there all these years later. I mean, of course it's fantastic that the mod was released in the first place and I'm grateful for that, but for the beta still to be the only way for a new user to access it seems cruel somehow when many of us probably have our own 'perfected' versions sitting on our HDDs. That said, I guess others would argue that if we did make them available then the more unscrupulous among us would start knocking it out on ebay etc.
Anyway, glad you're getting there with Detroit - and you prompted me to finally fix the tunnel rain/sound problem I'd always noticed (the fix is in the readme but I probably read it early on when I didn't know what it meant!).
