Chunx Contributing Editor Senior Member Registered: 10/11/00 Posts: 3714	Y'all do have me thinking: thinking of ways to keep Darren occupied with track mods that please the rest of us. What if Darren found, oh, say a dozen or more good shots of bikini-clad models standing, and converted them to replace the stock race spectator files in rF? We could, literally, have a trackside scene reminiscent of the above commercial. Right? Wouldn't that be a not-so sneaky easter egg for a SimHQ race? _________________________ Chunx

A better idea would be to create some separate models (pun intended!) for SimHQ 'groupies' that could be reused and imported into different tracks. _________________________ "The most dangerous part of a car is the nut that connects the steering wheel to the seat"
