I totally agree, and best of all, I have saved heaps of money, cause I cant
stand any other driving games now :)

If you were to re-instal GPL out of the box it would be barely recognizable
against the patched version with all the addons. Great stuff - it only makes
me anxious that we may not see the likes of it again for a long time.

Hi!

This product is amazing! Even though I live in Croatia, where one can get
pirated software easily, I didn't blink before paying for this great
product. Ant that in a country where I make 500 USD a month, and where the
living standard is 50% more expensive than in the states (how's 2.2 USD for
a gallon of gasoline!).

Anyway, in fear of what happened to the F4 team, I do hope that there are
still people around that truly beleive in what they are doing - in our case
the BEST, without a distant second driving simulator, the BEST FF
implementation, and the best FAN base. I have enjoyed the game immensly, and
still will for years to come (don't have high hopes for GP3).

My thanks go to all the enthusiasts who have participated, and my crazy wish
is that Papy makes a modern F1 simulation, and put's an end to that once for
all - for it would be untouchable!

Amen!

WOW! This is probably the first thread where everybody agrees with each
other! And rightfully so! On to the "r.a.s. book of records" for the
longest thread ever!

GO GO Papy and everyone who's invested time in GPL!

I agree. GPL is SO much better than any other driving sim before it that I
can't see it being bettered for a long time.

The amount of support online from fans is also great - If you have a
problem, someone is bound to know the answer.

BIG Thanks to:

Randy Cassidy
Larry Holbert
Alison Hine
Nate Hine

And many more. Chaz comes to mind for putting up his new server for VROC,
and of course we can't forget David Kaemmer for his masterpiece!

Well put John. A tip of the hat to everyone involved with the development
and tireless upkeep of the entire GPL community.

I have a terrible memory. In fact my memory's so bad I can't remember how
long it's been since I've forgotten anything.

Did somebody in this thread already mention that GPL is a pretty good
simulator?
(Or am I missing something 8>) )
