Prix Legends?

Thanks

What are they teaching in school these days?   Shouldn't this be required
reading?
  I'll probably miss one or two but here goes
Nurburgring
Spa
Zandvoort
Monaco
Monza
Rouen
Silverstone
The South African Track(zandy is blocking the name)Oh!  Kyalami
Mexico
Mosport
Watkins Glen

   You can find this info by defining a search for Papyrus only tracks at
the wonder GPL track database.
Magnus' site is one EVERY GPLer should have bookmarked.

Thanks so much Dave! Been a long time since I went to school!

I do not have GPL, but after seeing the available tracks I think I go a d/l
the GPL 2004 Demo.

Again, thanks!

If you decide to bite on the full game, I've sell one of my spare copies
for cheap.  I can also throw in a backup of my GPL directory, including
most all of those juicy tracks.  That should save you half a day of
downloading and installing.

Hi

You cant install the original tracks in the demo. I tried it and it
failed. The download of the original tracks are only updates.
I have only the Nrburg Ring 84, Hockenheim 67, the new Monza 10k as a
download. Only the original Watkins Glen track is in the demo04.
I downloaded the enhanced Monaco track, but could not install it.
The game needs the orig. dat file of each track to install an update.

You can 'patch' a full install of gpl by pasting the 2004 demo over it I
believe, although I've never tried it myself & you may have issues with
some of the ini files.

You certainly can paste a full (updated) install over either the demo or
a full basic install to quickly get all the graphics updates, and if you
copy the original track folders from a full gpl install into the demo
they should work fine too.

The original gpl tracks are not freely available for download (as you
say, the original dat file basically), but if you have the dat files
anyway (as you will if you buy gpl) you will be able to use them with
your demo install if you don't want to go to the trouble of
re-installing everything. Just update the season.ini etc manually.

Malc.

No, that wasn't my intent.  I have several retail copies of GPL
(non-demo!), and was offering to send him one (they're somewhat hard to
find, AFAIK)

Thanks so much Greg. Please send me an e-mail with your e-mail addy and we
will discuss.

The only issue I have is the known SB Live sound problem. I have found it I
reset the car about 1/2 throttle it clears up.

Thanks to all who have replied. This is one great sim and can't believe I
have let it slip through for so long.

wrote something like:

No need to paste a full updated install on top of anything. It'll work
as is, you don't have to install GPL from the CD first.
