After downloading the track...and following the directions to the letter
(moved WatGlen dir, created monza dir in /tracks, unzip) it still crashes the
demo after loading the first screen......any ideas?

Good work guys - thanks!!

How does the new demo compare to the original Watkins Glen demo ?

Any new features ? (Apart from the track of course !)

Make sure the ONLY directory or file in the "Tracks" folder is the one that
says "Monza"..

Are you running windows 98?? If so, did the demo work for you with the
Glen??

Other than that, I have no clue.. worked fine for me.

let me know,
d.b.

2 MB - its just the track files.. you need the other demo in order to play
it. If you don't have it, get it from www.papy.com

I've posted the Monza GPL files to:

alt.binaries.simulators.autos

..so PLEASE DOWNLOAD IT FROM THERE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. My ISP server is
going nuts!!

.. but check out my Monza page, and make sure to read the "Save Monza"
campaign section. Send off an email to Chris Balfe to give him your support;
tell him "Dan" sent you.

Thanks,
doktorB

.... And I've been too busy posting it everywhere to even try it yet!!!
I've had it for an hour and fif*** minutes.. but I sacrficed my time so
that others could enjoy!

REMEMBER THIS.. do me a favour and sign that Monza petition.. this could be
the last ever Monza GP (September - two weeks from now)

It worked first time for me - no problems at all.
Now if I only could work out how to get through that damn Parabolica
without spinning.......

After about an hour, I've only managed to complete one lap without
hitting anything <g>. I'd forgotten just how ***y *difficult* GPL
actually is!

(1:38 something, for what its worth).

Ooopps...heh....just installed a new hard drive, and it changed the assignment
letter from D: to E:....have to make a registry fix to correct the
error....works like a CHARM!!!

Thanks to both SimRacer and DoktorB....

Now, how do you say Exceedingly Large *** in Italian?!!? WOW, whatta
track!!! The left hander after the bridge is flat out...if you hit it
right...and turn one?! 4th gear drifting the car through with the wheels
screaming at me!! Whatta rush!

What a great surprise gift for a Friday evening and weekend!  I just fed my
kid, so look out Monza spectators!  I'll be careening your way soon!

Thank you doktorB and SimRacer!  You guys deserve the auto sim Nobel Prize, at
the least!

Regards, with screaching tires!

i have exceedingly large italian ***. i also am screwing off at work. i
figured that i would try the monza track here. i have downloaded the GPL demo from
papy and cannot get it to run after installation. anybody out there have any
ideas?
my system is:

P166-32RAM
with NO 3D video card

the video options during installation are "from disk(?)", "3Dfx", or "rendition".
obviously, i chose the "from disk" option. nope. it is asking for "DINPUT.DLL". i
do not have a joystick on this system. kinda hard to explain THAT one to the boss,
eh?

am i just hosed because of no 3D card?

thanks,

j
