Chequered Flag version 0.1.0 released
Downloads | Microprose F1GP | By Barrie on 23 December 2006 19:42

The first version of the Formula One Grand Prix/World Circuit (F1GP/WC) editor Chequered Flag has been released for public usage after a significant development period. The program can be downloaded here, while the homepage for the project can be reached at this location.

For version 0.1.0, the focus was the track editor and the development team has made steps in ensuring that Chequered Flag is the most advanced track editor for F1GP/WC to date. Some issues still remain however; the largest of which is the inaccuracy of the CC-Line generation on the track map. This issue is a priority for fixing and the development team is aware of how to achieve this. Version 0.1.1 or 0.1.2 can be expected to be free of this problem.

There is much left to do in ensuring that Chequered Flag becomes as close to the complete F1GP/WC editor as it was originally designed to be. This will be addressed in the coming months with a series of more rapid and incremental updates than have been seen to date. As always though, Chequered Flag is short of developers and anybody which wishes to work on the project would be gratefully received in either a long or short-term role. No significant obligations will be required of any new developer.

Finally of all, I would like to visit all visitors to this site who celebrate this holiday period, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
