I can't really add much more to this except a thank you of my own. It's just
brilliant!

I'm running in training only, PII 400, 128mb, sblive, LWFF/USB, Win 98, all
trackside objects on (love those braking markers!), 800x600 with a solid 36
FPS.

About the AI cars...how were you able to program an entire field of Dennis
Vitolos?<g>

A thank you is in order here...GPLEA! Just through my first few
tentative laps at Snetterton in my GPLEA Ferrari w/Allison's Monza
setup. Once again, my investment in GPL has produced dividends well
beyond what I paid for out of the box, thanks to all the support out
there. Another reason I'll be driving GPL long after I've deleted the
flavor of the month from my HD...at least 'til we see GPL2 or GTL or
CART 2...or anything with the GPL engine or it's successor. I've bought
three copies of it now, one for my 2nd machine in the home network and
one for my older brother, who started it all by taking me to see "Grand
Prix" in all its Cinemascope glory way back when.

P. S. Constructive criticism...the grass is -way- slippery and yes, I
did notice the slowdown, but don't let that stop you! I'd be glad to see
more. Also looking foreward to more -great- looking cars.

Let me add my own WHOPPING BIG THANK YOU ! Snetterton is a great track,
beautifully done. It took only about 5 minutes to download (helps to have
cable) setup and start doing laps. Not a bug to be found. I feel very fortunate
to be involved with such a bunch of talented and generous people. Thanks again.

Hi,
I also, wanted to thank all of you guys that produced or had a hand in
producing Snetterton.
I know how much effort and time a project like this takes, and even
though it was/is a labour of love, the time and effort that goes into a
brand new track, starting from scratch like you guys did with this
project is totally unbelievable.
The track itself is brilliant and you have all done a great job with
the graphics and driveability of the track, and i have to commend you
all for not asking for money for Snetterton.
Work of this calibre, along with Dave Noonans efforts at O'ring, all
provided free is really a major boon to the GPL community as a whole.

One slight criticism i had and the only one i had, i may add, was that
the files, all 270 off of them were not packed into a data file, but i
did that myself last night anyway, so that is no longer a problem
either...
I only have 16 files in my Snett folder now, with a 8.19 meg data file,
which is much neater.. :)

Thanks once again guys, a job really well done, you should all be proud
of your achievements..

Cheers,
Ron

PS.. Now about a certain Bathurst track here in OZ.. <G>

by **Arto Wik** » Mon, 20 Mar 2000 04:00:00

Also my big thanks to GPLEA gang for making us this great track!

And when I read the comment of the icr2gpl in GPLEA front page, I decided
to wait for Dave Noonan's true version...

Thanks again for the track!

Arto

PS Any info of updating the AI for Snette? Well, the one there is, is
also quite special... ;-)

Maybe I'm not alone here but I feel really bad for the good
guys at GPLEA. On the eve of their society's greatest moment the NG
has unexpectedly deteriorated into alt.warez.f12k, drowning their
Snetterton announcement in a sea of pirate links.

To GPLEA: Thank you very much for all the hard work in making
this gorgeous track (funny... I never thought Snetterton was
"gorgeous" until now).

To those who've yet to download F1 2000: Wouldn't you rather
spend those empty hours trying to get your laptimes into the low
1:20s?

Martin
Long Live Nigel Mansell!

So where can I download GP3 from, anyway? :-)

by **Ron Ayto** » Mon, 20 Mar 2000 04:00:00

No Martin, your'e not alone..
I think it is pathetic to see the little boys all rushing to download
Warez..
This news group was always against warez, but these days it seems we
are being overtaken by a bunch of ***y boppers who finds a thrill in
downloading illegal software, while a brilliant effort like Snetterton
(wholly legal and free) is available to us all..
It makes me wonder what RAS and the simracing on-line community is
coming to..

Once again, thanks to you guys that made Snetterton possible for us
all, it is a brilliant track to race on, i love it..

Cheers,
Ron

I'm trying, but I'm still in the 1:40's at Australia ;)

Unfortunately, these are the same ***y boppers that like to
go online and race around the track backwards wrecking
anyone they can

Snetterton is Brilliant
Thank you GPLEA
You guys rule!!!!
I just wish you guys could make an installer that would combine all the files
into a neat little .dat

KUDOS
You have my praises!!!!!

by **Chris Bloo** » Mon, 20 Mar 2000 04:00:00

How do you pack all those files into a DAT file?

The track is very nice, I look forward to getting some
competitive AI.
