I only got ADSL a month or so ago so I've always missed out on these big
mods before now. I've never tried FIAGTV3 and never commented on it.
From memory, the only games/sims I've ever openly slated were GP4 and Warm
Up.
I tried GTR after reading great reviews about it here, racesimcentral and
other forums, but I don't pay attention to whether it was a gpl'er writing
or not.
I bought Midtown Madness, SCGT, Rally Trophy and NR2002 for the same
reasons, and GPL too in about November '98. I've lurked here for years ;-)
If you try to put people in boxes you'll always make wrong assumptions by
generalising.
Sims come in boxes, not the drivers.

I know they introduced a higher minimum ride height, which didn't affect
me as I never used low rider setups anyways, but other than that
It's still on my HD as I admire the tech bits of it, and every so often
I take an Eagle for a quick spin around Zandy, but other than that....
