You're just not trying hard enough, then.

I will say, after getting help on my setup last night from one of theother drivers, that your car setup makes all the difference between just being able to hang on, and being blazingly fast.

I wish to recind that remark

Got my Wheel (Logitec Wingman Force GP). It's Awesome. The FFB is quite amazing and yes I can confirm it does recognise impact with walls, other cars etc,

and the way it twitches as you change gear is very well done indeed. However my lap times went through the roof.

After clawing them down to within 2 or 3 seconds of Blur's times I now find myself nearer 9 seconds outside what I am used to. They are slowly coming back down though and I hope to have it all back together in a few days.

The next step is I suppose to try my 1st Destruction Derby - Sorry.... Online race

I shall be setting up the required bits and peices over the next few days so I hope to see you on the black stuff.

Ok guys... I checked out Papyrus homepage and couldnt find a place to order from there. I looked it up on Amazon and found a game by the name of Grand Prix Legends. It sells there for $39.99. Is this the right title that I am looking for?

That's the one. That's where I bought my copy. I've seen posts on other boards saying they've found copies at bargain basement prices but considering this is the best racing simulation, its well worth it.

Incidentally Papyrus released an updated version of their D3D rasterizer this week. There's no notice of it but it's new. Textures are much improved and objects especially fences have much more detail.

ok ive got the game version 1.0.0.0 but its UK version and i cant seem to find a 1.2_uk patch.
the 1.2_us doesnt work as it says invalid GPL.exe for update.

i got the D£D patch and it helps imeensely with GF2mx i was used to the lovely 3dfx version so when i got gf2mx it was like a step back!...but now its much better.

anyone in UK got the 1.2 update to work?

Hazed, you must be doing something wrong. Did you go to the one-stop shopping link that I posted above? There's got to be an answer for your problem somewhere in there.

Hi Hazed,
I'm running the 1.2 patch & the D3D patch. I started out with V1.0. I'll mail them to you if you like, Just let me know. (I've also got the No CD patch installed as well). It means I have to uninstall/reinstall each time I want to apply a patch (Not very often) but saves the hassle of loading the CD each time and reduces the chance of scratching it etc.

If someone is interested in buying GPL.. drop me an E-Mail... I still have a copy of it shrink wrapped. I think I paid $19.95 for it before Sierra discontinued it.

Sierra has released GPL as a budget title over here - I picked it up for a tenner.

The link that banana gave allows you to download the 1.2_uk.exe patch - I tried the US ones too, but it didn't work.

ok got it up and running

had my first inline races! crashed a lot! completed 2 races and got a 3rd and a 8th!
seems many disconnect when they have one crash though

means if you do well you end up alone a lot of the time.
I try to stay in the games until end of the race, seems to make it better for winners that way

all my setups are drom default settings

so im hardly competative im afraid.
good fun though and pretty stable.

Nevermind - I found VROC.

vroc is a good way to find races but setting up the cars is a long learning process eh?

I have found going hard with the suspension and quite short with the gearing brings imediate improvements.

lots of web pages on the web too,
great diversion from flying sims too

snafu · « **Reply #57 on:** June 22, 2001, 09:45:00 PM »

Hi all,
Loaded Vroc and can see the race lists but every race is listed as "gpl version INCOMPATABLE"

I'm runing V1.2 with the D3D patch Any ideas?

**EDIT** Forget it found it **EDIT**

Thanks in advance
