rec.autos.simulators

Could someone please post a copy of their config file for GTR2002.  I had to
do a reinstall and things not working right at all.  If I try to use
GTR2002.exe it fails with runtime error 5   GTT2002Wip1 Invalid procedure
call or argument.  If I use GTrun it starts up F1 2002 instead of GTR 2002
even tho GTR logo shows at start.  I think I have problems with config file
and directories being used.   I think seeing a copy of someones working
config file will help alot, thank you.

copy of gtr2002config as it is now (sure needs some fixing)

I wish I could help but I have the same problem. I did a reinstall played with the config
file plr file etc etc. Its now coming of the drive  until they can fix this known bug.
I've wasted to much GPL time trying to get this thing to run properly They are working
on it.

There is a better way, for the enlightened.

        Keep in mind, only the top half of Uncles Config should match yours.
Unless you both have the same hardware and screen rez's the lower half of
the config file will not match.
        When you run GTR and the F1 cars show up, that is 'almost' always
because  the lower half of the GTR config does not match the lower half of
the F1 config.
        This might be a good time for a general warning.  When installing a
mod or especially when re-installing a mod, always make sure the core sim is
working properly first.  Too many times I and others have rushed through
re-doing games and screwed simple things up.
        Finally, for some reason, some OS's don't like the GTR mod with
32bit color.  So IF you ran 3dconfig and chose a 32bit screen, try going to
16bit. (and then updating your gtrgonfig file)
        With my system(win98se and gf3 ti 200), the mod works in BOTH 16 and
32bit, but if I choose 16bit, the menu screens bleed over each other and
some icons are visible that shouldn't be.  Wierd but not a real
problem...FWIU the Simbin crew was gonna fix that with a patch...so far...no
patch...just cars  :)
