Hello everyone,

Now that stages made for editions older than PCM15 don't work in the new PCM16, we found out we were in heavy trouble due to the scarcity of stages compatible with PCM16. Therefore we want to call out to the communities and ask you to help us out. Below, you can find a list of the races we need, sorted by race category and divided by priority we give them.

If you want to make a race, please announce beforehand at least in this thread, and ideally also in the threads at PCMFocus and LeGruppetto. This way all communities can keep track of what's being made. If you don't post on the others, I'm sure someone else will take care of it. Before ''claiming'' a race, check out the table below to see which race is available. Some of the route's have been traced and have a gpx file ready to make it easier for you. Download links will also be added when available.

When posting your stage, please post not only the stage files (duh), but also the ZCTS file. Should we run into problems again for some later version, the stage can then be easily converted. Upload location can be at Stage Database or a (reasonable) external host (Mediafire, Dropbox, etc.).

A few rules for this thread:
1. No requests from anyone but the DB teams
2. Stick on-topic
3. When posting the stages, please post your profiles to go with it as well (mainly aesthetic reasons)
4. Make sure your stages are compatible with OfficialRelease. This way everyone can benefit.
5. Stages should be compatible with PCM16 (so must be made with either PCM15 or PCM16)

Thanks in advance,
The DB teams of Le Gruppetto, PCM.Daily and PCMFocus

I read the note but in case I had done the GP of Kranj last year and works in PCM 2016. It's in the stage db. And I had done Trofeo Bastianelli too, but is another version of the race with the same cities but a little different route.

It doesn't necessarily need to be this year's route for every race, although if it is to be done from scratch, that is preferable of course. If you could upload your version of Trofeo Bastianelli, that would be great.

Your GP Kranj is not compatible with PCM 2016 for some reason, but since you included the zcts file, it can be converted (which I have done already).

I assume I can just write this thread if I'm okay to make a stage from the list, am I correct?

Exactly

Uhm... in my PCM 2016 the GP Kranj work correcty. Maybe I yet converted the stage and I forgot. Now I control and then upload the corrected stage

Maps and gpx-file for GP Laguna Porec:
https://www.mediaf...fo+gpx.rar

I edited GP Kranj and now you can find it to stage-download. I think that it's not perfect, but good to play as soon as someone better than me could post another version

Tour of Alberta doesn't have .dem files, well at least in their first stage which is the southest one of all.

https://www.justgoride.co.uk/routes/2...utes/23350 for the route of South African National Championships TT, including .gpx, but the .dem files doesn't exist.

I can tell you that I will be working on GP Laguna Porec.

It's possible to work around missing DEM files if you put the GPX in the 15 or 14 editor and transfer the zcts file forward through the editors.
(e.g. GPX -> PCM 14 Editor -> PCM 15 editor -> PCM 16 editor)

then work on the stage like that. That how I've been making stages in Canada as most if not all of Canada isn't covered in the DEM files.

Trofeo Bastianell is cancelled for this year
(https://www.gs-sabina.it/annullamento-40-edizione-trofeo-internazionale-bastianelli/)

Claim Gooikse Pijl, if still available.

Or you can just copy the DEM files.

Thank you, I added you both to the opening post.

I make the Coppa Bernocchi and i put in
the stage database

Hello, I tried to register to grupetto, but it says that i have not been accepted by the admins, well, i am pretty annoyed. Other news, computer don't have wifi, so it will be unable for me to release it until i have found a wifi, currently on biking/swimming trip . I can say that Sunday night or maybe even less, it would be available!

the exportpart of Tour de l'Eurométropole gpx doesnt do anything at all

It works for me. I attached the gpx file to this post in any case.
