Yep
-<+>- You've probably been through these steps already, but just to be sure: when you start up GPL,
-<+>-select Options and then go to the graphics screen. For 3D Accelerator, select 3Dfx. I believe
-<+>-a single Voodoo2 only supports resolutions up to 800x600; set the
-<+>-resolution to that.
I am pretty sure I did that (and yep 800x600 is max for 1 card)
-<+>- Given the speed of your CPU, you should also be able to
-<+>-turn on all of the graphics options. Try the game with those settings. If
-<+>-it looks pixelated and blocky, it's probably running in software rendering
-<+>-mode for some reason. If it doesn't look pixelated, it's probably as simple
-<+>-as not liking this style of graphics. Have you tried comparing the screens
-<+>-you're seeing against some screenshots on the web? Failing that, are you
-<+>-able to capture some screenshots and upload them to a site somewhere for us
-<+>-to have a look at?
-<+>-S.
All graphics were on. I did not compare them to any screen shots. I will dig it out of the garbage
pail and try again.
You said in an earlier post, and I quote "Sure, when you hit something you
see pieces fly, but the driving engine really sucks".
Maybe you could stop making yourself look an ass by backing up your confetti
spraying gunfire with a bit of qualification as to why the engine is so bad!

Btw, stop talking about graphics. Talk about the game engine and it's
advanced physics. What do you not like in it?

-<+>- Hi three,
-<+>-You seem to have set off a fire storm. GPL is a very demanding sim
-<+>-to drive, very few folks can just jump in and fly around the tracks.
-<+>- I would like you to help us understand your posiiton by rating
-<+>-a few sims that YOU like. Give us a quick hint of your tastes so we
-<+>-can see where you are coming from. And then maybe point out a failing or
-<+>-two of gpl's. Do you dislike the sensitive handling? Do you not
-<+>-appreicate the way the tracks are presented...something like that.
-<+>- Two points to remember about GPL's graphics: one: the sim is two
-<+>-years old, compared to some recent releases, it will indeed seem
-<+>-somewhat plain. But I think most of the users here have looked past
-<+>-that to discover the sim underneath.
-<+>-two: most papyrus made sims need to user to correctly install the
-<+>-product and choose the proper video setup. some folks have mistakenly
-<+>-used the non3d software mode and have been very disapointed.
-<+>- I'd be glad to work with you to figure out WHY gpl is so bad. Maybe
-<+>-we all missed something.

When I think of Grand Prix car I think "Road Magnet" not "slippery when
moving."
Well, without any down force there's nothing to make it stick. You really
should know what you're driving before you call it wrong. You may not like
it, but it doesn't make it inaccurate. Do you see any wings on the GPL
cars? So how do you expect them to handle? What the hell do you think
makes a "road magnet" magical forces or down force? This is the problem
with uninformed critics, they mistake a well modeled feature is a flaw.
Joe Marques
You see - these cars do indeed break loose very easily, but it does not
necessarily mean that you can't go very fast without sliding the ass around every
corner to do it. It takes a lot of practice. Something it appears you weren't
willing to invest.

Well you are right and that is one reason I stopped playing GPL since it
took just too much time to stay up on the game. It is a great game tho,
much better then any other game I have played in a long time. I do prefer
games that are a little easier to pick back up myself. I do not think that
the guys who are still playing as wacko. I will say on thing tho after
playing GPL I find it hard to play any of the Nascar series. To me they do
not come close in physics. I have been playing a lot of SCGT. It does
have drawbacks, but overall its a game that I enjoy since I race a sedan,
and I can pick the game up and be running back to my old form in 10 to 15
minutes after being away from it for a week.
