>> So - it's actually happening! I admit I find it surprising. I voted Leave, because I didn't feel particularly strongly either way, but I decided that when in doubt, a change is probably good. But I thought that most people would vote for the safe option, and it was both surprising and interesting that overall they didn't. Now there's talk of a General Election,by davidm - Off-Topic
Okay guys - for goodness sake there must be observations after this. I have rarely posted in recent years and there are much better observers than me. Mercedes - ridiculous - some forums saying its a fix and they will give Ferrari the race (some hope). RBR - could be massive challengers later in the season. Ferrari - a confusing one, massively off the pace and could continue to go backwaby davidm - F1
Sorry - completely forgot this. I believe the is as good a layout in GP2 as has been done - this was done by Tim de Klein. Some of his fictional tracks would be very good for GP3 too I guess. Anyway hope it helps to the discussion etc. Dirk - any news on your dedicated thread for new projects? I would post there otherwise.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
Could I make a couple of suggestions if this track is going to be further updated? The 1980's example is too wide, a look at video shows the track is much narrower. There are also extensive trees after the chicane at the back of the track. I think these two things would make it much more realistic (particularly narrowing the track).by davidm - Grand Prix 3
Hi guys Can I suggest something that might be of interest to all users and is not difficult but just requires a bit of work(graft). I would be happy to use the Jam Tool 2000 to change various horizons. Essentially I will change one horizon with another using the correct jam name. If you use the sizes Belini did for his tracks its very easy. If this is the case it will be very easy forby davidm - Grand Prix 3
> "Thanks Davidm, but didn't i send you szenichring? It was with some ads that you had delivered, i believe. I'll have a look in a few weeks to make a better conversion, and take care of others too. Maybe i can upload a track pack with some gp2 conversions when some are done. just a thought : wouldn't it be better to start a new discussion with all new track questiby davidm - Grand Prix 3
Just a quick thought or two for some additional GP2 conversions? Belini tracks: Porciuncula Szenichring Zuiderzee Ambleside Agua Azul Lisas Terras Marc Aarts did conversions of Bandon Park, Leon-Castille, Soume Yemick, Tsarskoye Selo, Rideau Falls and Yamashita Park but all could do with a bit of an update, they were very primitive in terms of jams and immersion. Your Matarka Parkby davidm - Grand Prix 3
Hey Mortal - thats a bit of a low blow. English is not his first language and bottom line - he has contributed a hell of a lot to the GP4 community. Isn't it time to move on from all this vitriol.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Congratulations to Niko Hulkenberg. That was one of the most exciting Le Mans I've followed in years. The first few hours brilliant. Perhaps Porsche is a better bet than Force India.by davidm - F1
Thats brilliant - many thanks. If you wish me to host anything on Dropbox, I'm very happy to do so. I'll send you the "wish list" by pm.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
Hi Dirk I wondered if you had converted any of the F1 tracks from the 1980's, 90's and very early 2000's to SW mode and Belini/Aarts and Roberto Scandura fantasy tracks. I have downloaded the tracks you put on Zippyshare on this thread and they run very well. I tried the Smoking Pen Ricard but it is very corrupted with distorted colours everywhere. I tried converting your Matarkby davidm - Grand Prix 3
I'm not sure Vettel proved himself in a poor car like the others, particularly Senna and Alonso. Toro Rosso 2008 finished up 3rd or fourth best car on the grid. Neither did either of the other three get seen off like Vettel this year. Perhaps Vettel's actual level is why Ricciardo could be questioned.by davidm - F1
Maybe its a roundabout way of putting a portfolio together while hoping for a job with codies et al.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
I'm afraid its on page 2 for this very thread. The site may be picked up quite easily. Perhaps removing the expression F1 from the forum would help?by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Its bizarre that this guy would go to all the trouble and renders etc. I'm sure they won't be released but its strange. Still the top respected artists here seem to be well on top of things.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Hello - I may have missed this but is there any way anyone can upload the latest Laptop Mod in mediafire or equivalent rather than Bit Torrent. Many thanks.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
Would someone be able to let me know the positions for helmet and steering wheel for the Josekast Mclaren 2012 F2012 conversion car. I can't use Team Editor for this at the moment. Thanks in advance.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
"Vettel is arguably quick, although I doubt he is the quickest. But he has more important weaknesses, and that is to be found in his race craft on and off the track. His malignant levels of narcissism is the source of these problems. They manifest in issues such as these (which is not an exhaustive list): defiance of the team leadership structure, massive entitlement in terms of treatment, cby davidm - F1
I think what it definately needs are some spectators/grandstands. Looks great fun though, slightly reminds me of John Edwards Castries for GP2 all those years ago.by davidm - Grand Prix 4
It will be interesting to see. Merc are getting on top of this deg issue. Other interesting thing to note is like many suspected Rosberg is very swift, I think swifter than Barrichello or Irvine ever were and explains the battle MS had with him, particularly in practice/quali.by davidm - F1
Hi Dirk I would also be grateful for any tracks you have converted successfully, particularly older circuits. I tried your tutorial and I got roughly 1 in 3 jams converted per track but some, which were less than 256 in height simply would not convert. I got all the correct folders etc. Obviously only tracks you have already done. I'm sure everyone appreciates your 2013 work. Cheersby davidm - Grand Prix 3
The problem for Vettel now is that no one possibly believes he was telling the truth. He was "fibbing", there is no way around it and it seems he digs a bigger hole for himself. Maybe he is going to Ferrari because Mateschitz is most concerned about the public image of his brand, I can't see him putting up with the "driver runs the team thing" for too long, Horner certainby davidm - F1
Thanks - got it.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
Hi Dirk Haven't received any message via my email or the pm yet. Would appreciate a look at your manual.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
Thanks alot - I'll keep trying.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
"I don't actually ay GP3 in SW mode, but I can help you convert the Acapulco jams. I have about 1/3 done." Hi - thanks for this - I would appreciate that. My email is david.moore857@ntlworld.com. I think I may have been going wrong in the folder structurby davidm - Grand Prix 3
Hi Briere - is there any way you could explain how you play the current tracks in SW mode. I would really like to do this because my HD nVidia card is overheating and within 10 to 15 mins the picture and grahpics are seriously distorted. I tried converting some of the jams in Roberto's Acapulco track to SW but only 1 or 2 saved okay. Thanks.by davidm - Grand Prix 3
The third pass on that video on F1 Fanatic clearly shows that it was an illegal pass on the Toro Rosso and if the FIA choose to look into it as a result before tomorrow they can do so. An illegal pass is an illegal pass and a time penalty is appropriate under the rules. This has been argued here on a number of occasions before.by davidm - F1
I think it would be somewhat wrong to win like this - much of the moral high ground that Alonso has now would be gone. Red Bull would certainly appeal any overturn. Interestingly on a different note - because bored of filling in a database for my own website - I looked at what would have have happened under the previous scoring system etc 10, 8 and so on. I was convinced that Alonso would havby davidm - F1
