Ah.... the "get a life" troll excuse.

So you personally have nothing in life you admire, or enjoy doing ? What's
wrong with Y person who personally enjoy such a thing as a past-time? You
don't have any recreational activity you do? Anything where you actually
take time that the above sentence would quality you as having no life?

Actually, how the heck do you -get- a life?

Yes, it can.

Thanks.

And that's the bottom line on this whole deal.  If I had the same amount of
patience my son has, I would have bagged this game the 7th time I spun off
the outer loop at the Glen in my first crack at it.  I would have decided
(like my son did) that this game isn't for me.  To 3_4_me though, "not for
me" means the same thing as "pile of junk".

Your dad had sex with your mum, surely you knew that? ;-)

And do you have GPL v1.2? FF doesn't work with the original version.
And even if you have, check in core.ini (in the main GPL directory)
that FF is enabled.

Right, if you want to do 180, get into the car you're most comfortable
with (or "least uncomfortable" might be best... the Eagle is usually a
good bet), leave the setup as default, and do a slow recce lap,
probably never above third gear, learning the circuit. In any case,
your tyres are cold when you start, so a banzai lap isn't on. Do a few
more laps, gradually increasing speed, and learning braking distances
and apexes etc.

Now, once your "comfortable" (a relative term in GPL), set yourself up
for a blast. Come out of the Parabolica (the last corner, a r-h
hairpin) in second. Once you're straight, really give it some wellie
and change up through the gears. Assuming you can keep it on line,
you'll be doing 180+ by the end of the straight. Fun, isn't it?

Ugh - horrible typo. I meant "you're", of course!

Never had problem on my old PC getting the resolution up to 1024x768 with my
Voodoo2 8meg.  No SLI.  GPL doesn't use Z-buffering, so it can do a
resolution higher than the maximum.  No hack, simply take the resolution in
the GPL option screen ;)

So you're thinking of a GPL-era car in terms of a modern car? Are you
related to that 2_slow guy? That probably goes some way to explaining
why you're not enjoying it. But just try to say *why* you don't like it,
instead of saying simply "It's not right" or "It sucks".
