Nurb-km-signs   -   A graphic add-on for Grand Prix Legends
===========================================================

ABOUT THIS UPDATE

This update allows the installation of more than 200 individual km-signs that were placed around the Nurburgring 'til 1970. 
All the Esso-signs at every full km and almost every of the small 100m-signs in between. 
Some signs are missing for historical correctness others because of severe clipping.

Don't expect this to be a Ring-made-easy add-on as only a few signs may serve as turn-in-, 
apex- or brake-markers but they could well be used as landmarks for beginners that otherwise might get lost on that 22.835 km lap....

Have fun, but please drive carefully as the Esso-signs are made from metal. 

Special thanks to Bernd Nowak for his explanations of the collision volumes at GPL-Wiki.


ATTENTION

The enormous amount of different Nurburgring-versions made it neccessary to offer two alternative ways of installing.

The standard "Nurb-km-signs" works with original Papyrus-, Klas Fjellgren-, Darkgreen-, Steve Life- or Dunky-versions 
with or without the drawfix-addon.

Those who are running versions with a modified nurburg.3do (other than the Drawfix_V2 with 7.80MB, dated from Jan 13, 2004),  
i.e. wetnurb or  Kelllaaa(XK)'s updates or those with their own grooves should make use of the "Nurb-km-signsDIY" 
and follow the special instructions below.


WARNING

Do NOT try to install our signs if you like to listen to Rebelracer's sound-addons. 
We're working on a solution but right now it is signs OR sound!
