Hi,

this is a BETA version. It's uncomplete and there are many things
missing...

That's what I did:

- N1 Charlotte
-> Flattened 
-> Enlarged by the factor 1.25 
-> Walls with the height of 21000
-> Changed the Pit position to the old Charlotte one (had to 
   multiply the original Charlotte ones with 1.25)
 
The original Charlotte track has the lenght of 1.5 miles. By 
enlarging it with the 1.25 factor means that the track becomes a 
length of 1.875 miles (The real Rio track has a length of 1.878 
miles).

[You see, in the case of Charlotte:

		
		1 = 1.500 miles
	      0.5 = 0.750 miles
	     0.25 = 0.375 miles
	->   1.25 = 1.875 miles (!)]

What has to be done:

- Add horizon and sky with Dave Noonan's utility. (That's easy)

- Change the complete dat's name into RIO (unpack all, rename all
  "chrltte" files to "rio", do the same in the .pck file pack it)  
  Remember: Folder, dat and txt file must have the same name
  (Really easy)  

- !!!Edit the 3do files (putting them in the right position)

- !!!Edit the AI. In the moment the game seems to lock up when the AI 
  begins to drive. (DRIVE THE TRACK IN "PRESEASON TESTING")

- Edit the textures (Kill the "NASCAR Racing" logos and so on)
  (That's also easy)

- !!!Changing the Start/Finish line??

Have I forgotten something?

I hope not.


Please help me with this track, I really would like this edit as a
Rio replacement. I think it is very good (The shape, the length)...

Because I have no 3do editing experience and because I have not much 
time I posted it in the belief that there are some people out there 
who can do it...
