I would like to try the 65 mod for GPL, but there doesn't appear to be an
option to download the 65 mod alone, without Gem or Igor.
Is there a way of running/downloading/installing the 65 mod without having
to download and/or install Igor and Gem on the computer ?
I don't want Gem or Igor, i just want the 65 mod files, so as i can
basically dump them into a new GPl install i made up for the 65 mod.
Thanks in advance for any info...

Cheers,
Ron

  Ron, here http://fp.gplegends.plus.com/Index65.htm you can download the
cars themselves, but to get the exe changes, iirc, you need to run gem at
least once.
  You can then make a 65 shortcut, but you need to run gem at least once.

  This sound right anyone ?

igor isn't /essential/ to the 65 mod, but gem is.

But if you run offline and switch tracks, you'd need to start gpl thru
gem to make sure the AI is adapted to 65 levels (and switched back when
you quit).

Doesn't seem to be a problem when you just stay on the same track though
- I've run several races, always at Zandy, without using Gem and the AI
runs just the same.

So it installs GPL65 "alongside" the original GPL, only takes/modifieds
the files it needs, and puts 'em back into the original state once you
quit 65.

And like I said, you can just click 65gpl.exe and run as usual, only in
65, without using Gem - as long as you stay on the same track.

I had the same reservations as you; but apart from a problem because my
gpl.exe was set to read-ony, haven't had any real problems and the mod
does work for nearly all users.

I don't think you'll be able to do that, since the data is bound to be
buried in several .exes and a lot of different ini-files.

But if you're really hesitant, you could always just copy your GPL
folder to another partition (FAT or non-indexed ;) and tell GEM to
install to that folder. It'll leave your original GPL alone and the only
thing you'll have lost is some drive space. But it's almost guaranteed
you'll gain a lot of fun driving those shiny new 65's, especially if you
liked the F2/F3 classes so far   :)

iGOR & VROC have two separate racelists. You can host & race '65 on
either, but only iGOR can restrict a race to '65 or '67 (or anything
else).
