Has anybody made some so far? It just gives a better feeling playing a 2008er season when having them

Noone did. I wanted to do some pics but I never found pictures which aren't copyrighted

Maybe you can find some good pics on Flickr, there are pics without copyright or you can easily contact the owners.

Yes, that copyrights are not an easy thing. Also I`m thinking of makeing Trackmaps, which can be used every year, like maps with google earth

I personally would like general trackmaps best! I could imagine it would look good with a photo of a significant point of the track or it's periphery (e.g. Eau Rouge for Spa or the Nürburg for the Nürburgring), a banner/headline with the circuits name and maybe a small table with datas like track length, track record, etc. and a more or less simple drawing of the circuit viewn from top (example).

Here is an example from the prototype_c mod from virtua_lm, I think something close to this would be perfect:

in the CFG-File of GP2LAP i found the follwing line:

MenuTrackMap = 0 ; draw a simple track map layout in the track selection menu (replaces bitmap).

but if i set it to "1" it doesnt work anybody knows why?

I think it doesn't work with original MicroProse tracks.

But it should work with the most other tracks.



Start the game with gp2lap, with the config line MenuTrackMap = 1
Now you can not see the simple track map layout in the track selection menu!
First you must start a race ! The game must read the track!
Now go back to the "Select Circuit" screen.
