My Tracks - Page 150

pmccormick · 15 Nov 2003, 02:05 (Ref:783901)

Tim...a note on this MS Streets program, I seem to have been lucky in the airfield tracks chosen to measure to date. I just spent some time looking in the program looking to measure a number of the other airfield tracks (floydbennett, ftmorgan, madison IN), and while the airport is shown, the runways are not, so there is little if any reference point to work from when trying to duplicate the layouts. So, my point is that some airfields are shown in detail, but many not at all, so this program has a few shortcomings. My version is 2000, maybe 2004 would have more detail.

pmccormick · 15 Nov 2003, 02:13 (Ref:783906)

Tim, BTW...your ElToro measures at 7.75 mi. Long, but for ALMS just fine, in my opinion.

pirenzo · 15 Nov 2003, 09:35 (Ref:784136)

wahoo, 150 pages

pirenzo · 15 Nov 2003, 09:36 (Ref:784138)

Ayse, since we've been around so long, and we've got 150 pages, 3728 replies, 29'000+ views, do you think that this thread is worthy of "hot topic" status?

the_royksopp · 15 Nov 2003, 11:19 (Ref:784184)

Wee! 150

Well, remember the countdown there was to the 100th

Ayse, i agree with p, this should be "hot topic".

p, i agree in your post about sharp corners, Monza, etc.

Crozier, nice track, though, cant really make up my mind of it, before i see it in a bigger version. Is that available?

Now we just have to beat "The Mallet" for number of pages/posts and this thread will become longest thread EVER on 10/Tenths (Although it is still the longest active thread).

Only 70 pages to go!

pirenzo · 15 Nov 2003, 14:07 (Ref:784283)

70!

Oh well, better get a move on then

the_royksopp · 15 Nov 2003, 15:25 (Ref:784352)

I already look forward to the celebrations when this thread gets its 1000th post...

the_royksopp · 15 Nov 2003, 15:34 (Ref:784357)

Well, realistically, this thread has had an average speed of 9,375 pages per month. That means it will take approximately 106,5 months to hit 1000. Thats 91 months from now, because the thread has been going for around 15 months now.

That is 7 years and 8 months. So, my bet is, that we hit the 1000 in July 2010.

Gosh!... Thats just before i turn 21!...

Scary.

the_royksopp · 15 Nov 2003, 15:35 (Ref:784359)

I have just prooved that im the most bored person of us right now

diz · 15 Nov 2003, 16:11 (Ref:784375)

mac

When I'm bored, I read threads that don't really interest me.
I got up to page 6 of this one and got even more bored.
Before I go, I must comment on Oyster Cove [29 July 02]

I looked at it long and hard, but all it reminded me of was a DUCK. I must be quackers.

I'm off now to see if Justin Dawkins has got even smuttier on the Pippa Mann thread.

Not really bigger, but more detailed. Have reprofiled some of the corners and given the grandstands and pits a lick of lovely French Racing Blue

.

the_royksopp · 15 Nov 2003, 21:17 (Ref:784538)

A shame i cant see it in all its glory, cos it looks beautiful!

Well, ill have to dig in to mspaints zoom-tool then

diz, well, if you are so darn bored with this thread, then i dont think i really yearn to hear your opinion. We dont need guys just bulldozing our ideas

diz · 15 Nov 2003, 22:05 (Ref:784584)

Sorry Triple-D
I'll go now

Don't bother Triple-D, I've just realised how bad the thing looks when zoomed in as a JPEG. Maybe a GIF might be better and clearer...

the_royksopp · 16 Nov 2003, 11:41 (Ref:784938)

That is a Gr8 track, crozier!... Looking forward to seeing more from ya!

9375 pages per month?! That can't be right?

Or do you mean 9.375 pages per month, would make more sense lol.

pirenzo · 16 Nov 2003, 14:26 (Ref:785006)

Tim, i thought this was a slightly more realistic track for Walesboro.

Bsically, using mostly runways, utilising the space behind the pits for the paddock etc.

the_royksopp · 16 Nov 2003, 16:56 (Ref:785065)

Yes, ofcourse, pirenzo

pirenzo · 16 Nov 2003, 22:17 (Ref:785251)

I thought i'd put together a little compilation of all our first tracks in this thread

Mine:

pirenzo · 16 Nov 2003, 22:17 (Ref:785252)

Ok, all the others in a moment when i've found them all lol. That post was to check what would happen if i image tagged from a pic posted on the forum.....

pirenzo · 16 Nov 2003, 22:31 (Ref:785257)

Ok, here's the first one that actually still shows up:

Might not be such a bad idea with hindsight. I hinted at this a few pages ago....

I'll do all the new guys' first tracks when they're been around a bit longer

Fish_Flake doesn't really post here anymore, so that's why his is not mentioned.

Fish_Flake · 17 Nov 2003, 00:17 (Ref:785302)

I still check this thread often, I just ran out of good designs in my head! Really, I've been getting into rallying lately, and am trying to devise an arsenal of stages from the roads in my area. It's a wonder I haven't found myself lost in a vengeful hillbilly's driveway yet!

Kinda the same with me. Except I've been getting busier in school and getting moderating jobs

. I still make 'em on paper in school, just haven't had the time to scan them and/or transition them to the PC. I'll try to over vacation in a few weeks...
My first track was actually for that chicane challenge way back in late '74...
The page that is...

Antrodemus · 17 Nov 2003, 06:41 (Ref:785474)

I got sucked into the challenges some 119 pages ago. Tapered off as uni got a bit more intense, but I'm one of those people who needs a reason anyway - I can't just churn out tracks like p or lustig do.
However, I might make some sort of return now exams are over. I'll have to see how the creative juices are flowing first.
