Finally - GPL at Hi Res for me / GP2 AddOns

by jb » Sat, 13 Feb 1999 04:00:00

I posted here previously re: not being able to get GPL above 640x480 with my
CL TNT.  I tried all of the suggestions offered but still no luck.  I
finally went in and deleted windows/system/* and reinstalled Win98.  I tried
GPL at 800x600 and it worked -- although plug and play did not detect my
soundcard / game port.  Installed the latest sound card drivers (Ensoniq
AudioPCI clone) and GPL messed up again.  Deinstalled the latest drivers and
installed the drivers that came with my sound card -- couple of revisions
back.  Now GPL works fine and I can hear and steer!

Wow -- it is quite stunning at 1024x768!!!!  Using the Hercules drivers for
my TNT -- Detonator gave me a NV4 ogl-related page fault.  Now if the
mirrors only worked idealy.

Also, I just got a copy of GP2 (bought it used).  Any "essential" addons
that anyone can recommend?

www.gp2.com you can get  CD patch (no cd)
then you can do anything...
Get GP2edit 1.81 - for any carset from 1970s to date
Get Track Manager so you can set up any years season (with all correct
tracks)
(Obviously you need to get all the tracks from that year also)
and lots of little things, like Starting lights patch, Longer Replay patch,
Fatest lap patch ( your split time up against pole sitter rather than your
best time!)
etc etc etc
