Zandvoort_Multi_season_update

by Remy Roesz, Paul Skingley , Rob Hunter and Steffen Weitzdörfer.

This update to the GPL Zandvoort track should be installed over an original version of the zandvort track from the GPL CD.
If you have other updates already, rename or remove your zandvort folder and copy in a fresh version from the GPL CD.
Copy the CONTENTS of the supplied zandvort folder to your zandvort folder.

This update is not Voodoo compatible and is recommended for use on modern PC systems with 3ghz processor or better.

Contains mod specific files for 65, 66, 67 ( default ) and 69.

1/Different Horizons depicting weather conditions on the race days of each season.
2/Changing banners, buildings, textures and track objects depicting the track on the race days of each season.
3/Pit wall and armco for 1969.
4/Main straight bridge only present in 1966.
5/New hotels and hanger building.
6/Many new textures and objects.
7/Different groove for each season.

NOTE
if you wish to pack the files into the dat after installaion, only pack 3do, mips and srb. Do not pack the mod specific files.

Here are a few screens that Mech made for us

Dear Downloaders,

please delete the file named trackCM.ini in your zandvort folder.

It may cause trouble in the future where we all will have forgotten about it existing.

While there you also may want to delete cmpic.pbf since it is not clear whether that filename will ever be used, leaving this file there is no problem though.

THANK YOU DM

This is excellent, do you know of any other tracks that are going to have this done to them?

There's a lot of work going on for Mexico and Kyalami was mentioned too but I think MExico is the next one I'm aware

[Burnsy865]

Thanks Bernd. I now have another thing to look forward to for this ever improving sim.

A question,

If I regroove the track without selecting any objects will everything still be present?

I'm asking because right now i have a few grandstands on the track after regrooving

If some things will be gone, anyone care to explain how and what objects I have to select to keep everything as it is ? (I know I'm a noob )

Thanks

The multi-season update has different grooves for each season so you don't really need to regroove. The developers of the update put a lot of effort in to getting it all right and probably be offended if you regroove.

But just out of technical interest, the solution (for non-multi-season-update tracks) is to unpack the .DAT file (with Doodat or similar) and repack with all the appropriate add-on files included. Then you should be able to regroove without unwanted effects. I doubt this will work with the multi-season update tracks cause the Racing Line will load the 3do instead of the the 366 file etc. I once found a tutorial on this but can't locate it now. Someone with better knowledge may be more help.

I would have thought renaming as needed would have worked but I don't really know. although I can't see the need of doing this for this great track addon. I would have said there are a lot more needy tracks out there but each to their own.....

Wouldn't it be best to ask this question in a different forum rather than this thread? How about HERE.

Very nice update and I see the differences beztween the 67, 66, and 69er Mod. I applied all modspecific-patches, but I cant see any difference between the 65-Mod and the 67-Standard. Shouldn`t there be modspecific graphics for the 65-Mod with the newest patch applied?

[one2fwee]

So far i've only tried 67s but it's really nice

I like the new groove - certainly helped me improve a bit.

The only problem I have is that braking down to turn 1 is now very scary - as part of what the game considers "grass" now has tarmac texture on the "join" (the join being quite large), and what seems to be part of the natural braking line goes over this "grass", so you can spin rather easily.
Maybe editing that join texture to give it a bigger proportion of grass and less tarmac would help?

Anyway, really nice and good job

A Voodoo card compatible version for this definitive/must have update for Zandvoort. Make sure to make a backup of your track folder first.

Have the multi-season update installed and works ok (I get bridge in 1966 and pitwall in 1969 etc) however I had an old update that said the kerbs were blue/white from 1967 onwards. Is this true and should I see them when running 1969 mod. There are four curb files in the track folder curb.m65, curb.m66, curb.m69 and curb.mip.

[one2fwee]

Hi does anyone have any reply regarding the track edge?

The seam between the grass and tarmac can be seen in this screenshot:

That tarmac edge is actually grass, and forms part of the natural braking line down to turn 1.
Is there a reason for it to be like it is or did it happen partly by mistake?
I just ask so that i might be able to alter that particular texture so i am not tempted onto the "grass" by mistake - as it has caught me out sometimes

Thanks
