No, only one install.

The patch is set correctly. The season button is grayed out, and only lists
the 1967 season.
I will look around for the readme.

What you're looking at - the Season button which leads to the 67season
selection of tracks - is a bit of a misnomer. GPL uses a file to make
the tracks (maximum of 64 tracks) available to race on. In other
words, if you have 200 tracks in your gpl\tracks folder, you need to
juggle the ones around that you want to race on, so you list the
active tracks in that file while the others are inactive. You can put
all 65 season tracks into the 67season file if you like.

GEM+2, pre-patched, allowed you to create another file (had to be 8
character name) to put what ever tracks you wanted in. I made one
with just ovals called ovaltrax for instance.

The 67 season file also used to be changeable through that season
button, but with the v.2.2.16 patch, that's not available. The patch
changed the availability since there seemed to be bugs arising from
it. I understand that a new GEM+2 will be out "soon" BTW. The
67season.ini can be changed with various other utilities, such as GPL
Replay Analyzer > tools > track organizer. Or the older GEM+ will do
it.

Thanks for the good info Bob, I appreciate it.

I am having a blast driving the '65 cars. Much easier to handle, and have
had some good close offline racing so far.
It's like a whole new sim for me now, with the tracks, updated graphics, 65
car phsyics.
