Can’t believe it’s 2023 and Pavel is still updating tracks and carsets made 10-15 years ago… really grateful for your commitment to this game for so many years.

Even my 10-year-old iPad isn’t receiving updates anymore!

Thanks for kind words!

do you think you could look at the carshape in one of my reynard carsets?  There is a problem where the drawing order gets messed up when there is a damage event. It must be the 3do files right?

What carset? Is it use one of already fixed carshape or it is your own edit?
Because if it use any of already fixed carshapes then you can take fixed carset and just replace drivers carNN+mipNN files with files from your crset.

Thanks for all you do Pavel!

Just discovering your Lola 95 car shape - absolutely beautiful. That's the look I've been wanting for this game forever. Fantastic work.

Thanks! But don't forget I only fixes and improve work that was done by Robert, Oli and others.

Hi Pavel
Thanks again for these great tracks. 
In 1st post you say that if we see any bugs to report them. I haven't seen any bugs but thought I'd give feedback on any future developments I'd be most keen to see. 
1. No car showthrough on track. Done already, which is great
2. Driving line help. Either the tyremarks like Checkpoint does or darkened driving line.  If it were to be done on 1 track, then Laguna96. 

Looking forward to continuing to drive your great tracks (regardless of any future change/not change).

Thanks Tony,
As for tyremarks I always thinking about it. I once try to make them for Phoenix, but to make them for road course is another story. I haven't tried Checkpoint script for it yet. But if I will find and develop good reliable way then I will add tyremarks to my tracks.

Update 2023.04.06:
Lola1990, Lola1991 and Lola1992 carsets were add to archive. This carsets use lola 90-92 carshape. Also I reupload all other carsets because I've found a bug: there were polygons with wrong mapping at the tail. I only noticed this error when watched Gplaps 1990 season first race at Phoenix  . Now everything should be ok.

===================

I have question for everyone. All carsets have KITs to change car options that use bat files and some other additional tools. In general KITs should work under 32-bit systems but under 64-bit system there will be error when you try to run it. Ihave 32 bit machine so have no problems with this KITs. But what about you? I can remove KITs as BAT files and create folders with options files. And then you will have to manually add files to dat if you want to change anything. But this will not work for 2001 carset because there is very complex KIT.
Other option can be if someone may rewrite few new tools. Bat files uses:
1) choice.com - make possible to have choices in BAT file. But bat file can be rewritten to eliminate use of choice.com
2) PACK and UNPACK.exe - small 16-bit command tools to pack and unpack dat file. This tools don't run under 64-bit system.
3) Pkunzip.exe - only for 2001 carset, zip unpacker tool. May be replaced with similar command tools like 7-zip has.

So main problem is with PACK - UNPACK tools for dat files.

So main problem is with PACK - UNPACK tools for dat files.

I have a Pack/Unpack Python code although it would need a Python interpreter to run, maybe too much of an extra step for some users. The file structure of a .DAT file is straightforward so hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult to create a lightweight, standalone tool that runs at the command line.

I'm not familiar with the kits to change car options - I assume that is to change between different wings and such?
