Notes - there are 22 stages, but the 2 files "top_tdf_00_1989" are not considered in the game. If you wanna start with a prologue, you can rename them as "top_tdf_01_1989" and overwrite the existing ones.
Stage n. 21 is a "real-fantasy" stage: monuments aren't in the right position 'cause Champs Elysèe Monument is oversized. You need Champs Elysee "monument"and Tour Eiffel "IB" in the original folder to play with this stage.
Notes - Stages are inspired by the original tracks, but they're revisited in order to be compatible with the gameplay. So, they're fantasy-stage. They're useful if you wanna change the last TDF stege, instead of the same "Versailles-Paris" stage. Now, you cuold have a race with a final circuit in Paris (top_tdf_21_2000) or a stage with 2 GPM... In the TDF 1989 (see above) you can have a final ITT from Versailles to Paris too!
Files are sorted by year, you have to rename them in the way you like. I.e., if you wanna play with the TDF 2002, you've only to rename the 2 files from "top_tdf_21_2008" to "top_tdf_21_2002". Stage Editor cannot modify the number of turns in the final circuit , so stages are much longer than the original ones.
I just played the 21th stage, for me it's ok.
Maybe you need to install the latest patch (1.0.2.0) and to mantain the TourEiffel folder in the original path (3D/Landscapes/IsolatedObjects/). It comes with the standard installation.
Anyway, the latest stage has a "basic" environment, few buildings and cobblestone sector (level 1) at the Champ Elysèe. The Champs Elysèe Monument used last year was no more inserted. If you don't like it, you can use the 21th stage from the TDF by Emmea: it contains an ITT stage from Versailles to Paris. You only have to copy and rename it as "top_tdf_21_1989".
In the first post there's an update for the 21th stage.
Now you'll find Camps Elysèee, Tour Eiffel and a place similar to the Royal Palce of Versailles. Monuments aren't in the right position 'cause Champs Elysèe Monument is oversized. For the same reason, you go through the tunnel but you don't go around The Louvre.
You need the latest official patch (1.0.2.0 till now), the Champs Elysèes monument and the Tour Eiffel object in the original path.
New version for the 1989 Tour de France for PCM2013!
This is the n. 2.0. Wind was fixed. Stage 16 was completely changed. Many other stages were improved. Now, it should work well.
In the first post I also added the stage 02 of the Giro 2010. The two stages (02 and 17) were not in the pack released by Cyanide two years ago (the only that can be converted till now).
Above all, stage 02 (Amsterdam - Utrecht) was quite hard to make for me, so I hope you like it. Excuse me for my English, usually I don't speak it.
Hi, thank you for your message!
I attached a screenshot pack: 4 images are from stage 02 and next ones from stage 17. They should be in the right size, I hope you like them.
By the way, I don't know how to show images in a post, please can you suggest me the right way to do it?
