James,

I feel sorry for you: You don't know what you're missing. On the other hand:
It'll save you a lot of time to do other things.

Maybe your problems aren't GPL related but more on how your PC is organized.
Really I didn't have any problem getting this game installed and functioning
properly ( the only thing which needed to be addressed was installing the
"older" glide driver in the GPL directory to overrule the non-compatible 2.54
driver shipped with my Diamond VII - again not a real GPL problem). All the
"whining" you read about in this newsgroup is to get the very best out of an
(IMO) already superiour race-sim.

Have to stop now, must buy an FF Wheel!!

Or, to put it another way, it's from simmers who spend countless hours trying
unsuccessfully to hot-rod or cheat the soft- and hardware  instead of working
on their DRIVING.

Excuse my bluntness; it's only an observation. But just count the threads here
that are actually COMPUTER-related, rather than GPL-oriented. Personally, I
enjoy preparing and racing much more than putzing with my computer and
wondering what I loused up.

much as I can.. Still good points though! Cheers Thom_j.
