After installing GPL, the 1.2 UK patch, 3D patch and the CPU fix, GPL runs
very, very slow under XP.
I turned on the indexing service (properties/advanced)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Adrie,

If you have a 'fast' cpu above 1.4Ghz try running the cpu speedfix from
Papy.com

Driver issues?

* 3d board drivers updated (obviously)?

* Soundcard? -- try turning *off* hardware sound acceleration, or upgrading
drivers, for instance.

* FF wheel? -- I've seen GPL crawl to a halt on systems with "bad" FF
controller drivers.

I would recommend Windows 98 as better OS for the game.

Does WinME work?

XP works just fine for me with GPL Biz, If you're using
NTFS as you're file system turn indexing on though ..

  If you upgraded from 95/98/ME make sure to get the
most current XP drivers for you're Video card and
sound card. These two components seem to cause the
most grief.

  Also is it just GPL or do you have other Flight sims
or driving sims that work ok ?

Good luck,

In most senses, no

No know issues with GPL though if that's what you're asking, but plenty
of known issues with most of todays hardware

Beers and cheers
