I'm not entirely sure if there is an _exact_ technical disription.

Of course, this is one more reason to order sims directly from the States.
Silly localizations, CD in drive requirement and adjusting German versions
for 10 year olds, that does it.

a) Needs Glide 2.53 rather than the later release
b) I have a dos batch program scheduled by System Agent (to do
backups). If this starts when GPL locks solid (probably not a gpl
bug, but pretty annoying anyway)
c) The BIGGEST bugbear for me. If you get disconnected during
multiplayer you have no opportunity to save the replay up to the
current position (or any other things like lap times)

But not with MGPRS2 - slight stutter in environment
I changed back to the retail-driver with 2 MB texture checked. Working
great.
