Myles Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 My installation hasn't been too happy recently - but I think it's just my Soundblaster Live! card (known incompatibility). I'd be up for some online action when you've got it running though. Project Scope-Creep is underway...

Badger Bill Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I know that we sort of organised a race the other sunday, but I'm carp at getting organised... Which track did we go for, the original Monza or Silverstone? BB PS ANY ideas on which graphics card to get to upgrade my old geforce 2 32mb gts?

Badger Bill Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Del, The screenshots here give you a good idea what it should look like after the mods have been added... here BB There are other sites, but I can't remember them 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Bill Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Have you bought a new one, or is it and old one (s/h)? If new, you shall already have the two patches required to fix the high speed processor thing, and a patch to the next revision.. I'll dig links out and post 'em up just in case...

Delbert Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 Brand new shrink wrapped etc,but at the cost of an ill octopus it might be an old copy The Liver is an evil organ and deserves to be punished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Bill Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Nope, my latest copy cost a fiver about two months back, so you have probably got the patches on the disk already, you'll just have to go in a run them after installing the game. The best site for cars and sounds is here get your tracks from here and here Make sure that you sort out the core.ini file with the two or three lines to enable your force feedback!

Badger Bill Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 probably not, but I'll just send you a copy of my .ini file so that you can copy and past it into your gpl folder BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Whitley Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 At BB's last link, under utilities/other stuff you'll find "GPL Race Length Editor Change the race length for any race mode. By Tony Whitley." Eyethankewe Delbert, I'd advise going straight to here to download the GPL 2004 demo - it has the patches and a very good selection of updates. Although it says demo it's the complete program you've just bought except that it only has one track. You can copy the others from your CD, though you'll need to copy season.ini (it lists the tracks that are installed) too.

Delbert Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 Right, assuming you know I'm a complete numpty who knows nowt Tonight I will 1) download game from website 2) insert CD and load the other circuits 3) play??????

Badger Bill Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Tony, if you do the 80k download, does it have all the updated cars, forcefeed and speed fixes done? BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I think the last track we talked about racing on was Monza. Project Scope-Creep is underway... Alcester Racing 7's Equipe - 🙆🏻™ Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Bill Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I've not tried the download, but I'd do that and just play it first to see that it works, then get the tracks off the CD. Myles, what sort of lap times are you looking at, approx? BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Jeez - I have no idea. I haven't played for a looooong time. I'll try and fire it up this afternoon - I'll take the annoying Soundblaster card out if necessary and use the built-in sound. Project Scope-Creep is underway...

Badger Bill Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 The record is 1:26, so I guess that anything near 1:40 should be OK? I'll have a trundle round tonight and see what I get, I must admit to spending most of my time on the 'ring, or lemans full version. That said, donnington and oulton are fun, as I sort of know them already in real life. woo hoo! 😬 BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 downloading as we "speak" will have to use keyboard tonight until I pick up my wheel tomorrow Will a PS1 controller work???????

Myles Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I've just fired it up - obviously the sound driver update worked for me. I've just posted a 1:31.46 and 1:30.58 in my old 10-lap spec Lotus. I can see from some of my old replays that I've been down to the low 1:29s in the past. We could pick somewhere else (I only really know Monza, Milano (Monza backwards with the banking) and that's about it - for a good race (esp. with novices), we need somewhere uncomplicated, relatively easy to master, and without any really nasty gotcha corners. Just gonna have a look at Kyalami - ISTR that wasn't too bad. Project Scope-Creep is underway...
