Great realy great.

I have driven al the included tracks now, and I must say I Like it a lot.

Thanks

Sorry to say it but there is one thing I don't like, and that is the light bundle I see in the cockpit view.
I have driven all the tracks with the F10 key on (outside look).
Because of the light bundle in front, I can not see the track details I need as break-markers.
Also I beleave that you mis the beautiful night seenery of the very nice looking tracks.

- Is there maybe a trick, switch ore patch to dim the onboard lights
- And another question, am I the only one that thinks so about it

Any way, Thanks to every body who made this posible
Also great that the Night mod tracks are added to the Total Rank.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I see what I can do in this case. There are some people who want to switch the lights off, but I think they add a lot of atmosphere to the nightdrives.

Thank you for your kind words, Pedro

Hi guys,
I think it´s time to give you some news about the progress of the nite mod creations.
At the moment I´am working at the (papyrus) watkins glen nightversion and the 69 high wing nite cars. Both projects are nearly finished but I have very little spare time at the moment to work on these things or even to visit the mirror zone. (which is my second home in normal times)
So it may take a while until they are ready to release  

I want to say a big SORRY for this to all you nite mod lovers
I hope I´ll be back soon with better news and maybe with a new track or some cool cars.

Thanks again for your kind words

it could be good to see the 69 cars at night

after Watkins and Zand, I could ask you did Spa, looks a great track to drive at night

Today's mad idea: have you ever thought about Rally night stages?
Ok, people, it was just a crazy idea, don't blame me... (it's not to be really serious, hehehehe)

Thanks Tommi for this fun and original mod.

It would be great if someday we could see niteraces hosted online.

One question about the installation: Is it necessary to create a player for each night season (n65, n67, ...) or we can use the same ones from not-night seasons?

It's not necessary but it sure makes life easier in the long term as GEM+ will remember the mod that the user is set to, so when you change user (ie for setups) it will set the correct mod for that user. There is a few, but there's not that many night tracks to copy setups to.

But I'll have to copy the setups even if I use the same user, won't I? I just asked it because the number of users is increasing a little bit and I thought I could save a few if they're using the same physics.

Thanks for your tips Keith.

Well, I'm also testing some other ones and there are 3 of us here at home so you can imagine the amount of users I have

A question before installing this Mod :
I have a multi-installation for GPL - a folder for GPL67, a folder for GPL65, a folder for GPL69 and another one for TC.
I Wonder if the Night Mod should install correctly because I've read the Mod requires both GPL67 et 65 in the same folder...
If it's possible, where do I have to install the Night Mod, on my GPL folder ?

Sorry Mickey, it won't install on your system as you have correctly surmised, it does need both in the same place.

My question would be - Why do you feel you need to have separate installs of GPL? GEM+ allows you to control all the mods in one install very easily.  

[Mickey38]

I don't know, perhaps because I have some specific updates for the tracks 65 and I like having the good laptimes records for each mods.
By the way, I have install the Night Mod on a folder with GPL and GPL65.
It seems ok (carsets 65 and 67 active in GEM+, loading GPL ok) but when I Want to install monznite, nurbnite and so on, i have this message : "the File D:\sierra\gplNight\gpl\tracks\monaco\maxrace.lp could not be opened" and the installation is cancelled.
Another problem : with the cars67, I can't load a track (message : unable to load the track, session closed), but It's ok with the Cars65, I can drive on the tracks.
Perhaps a mismatch with the gplea cars ?

Edit : I have solved the problem with the 67cars. The .dat files were missing in the nite67 folder...
Still a problem with the installation of the tracks : monznite, nurbnite etc.

This Mod is astonishing !  

Edit 2 : Everything ok now, I found the solution.

It is!! Fast Tommi and Rory Gibson have made a mod which has great atmosphere. Keep an eye out as Mexnite should be out soon and the 69 Night cars are on their way too.

Hi Guys -

Work is in good progress so I hope we have another classic to drive at night soon. Its a citytrack and it has a very special atmosphere IMHO.
