I wanted to do something for the 25th anniversary of GPL's release. I decided to do something in Blender. I originally wanted to work with 3DOs, however they are too complicated to work with in the time I allotted myself. So, I went with TRKs instead.
I wrote a TRK importer/ viewer for Blender. It will load a TRK from a standalone file or from within a DAT. Some TRK file values for the track, the segments, the altitude traces and the surfaces are made viewable in Blender via a GPL tab added to the 3D viewport N-panel. The image below shows all eleven original GPL TRKs loaded in the same scene.
I can post the scripts here if someone is interested, or I'll post them in Github or similar, once I figure that out. They can use some fine tuning and feature enhancement. An end goal would be to edit the values and have them affect the objects real-time, along with export of the TRK.
