My new fave. I love the chicanes on the back straight. I now find myself wishing that more old tracks included chicanes.. strange, that...

Well I actually re-installed GPL just so I could try out this track. Installed the patches. Set it to the DirectX rasterizer. Changed it to the resolution I wanted. Re-started. Even re-booted. Unfortunately it is forcing me to run it in 640x480 which is a mess. Any solutions? David G Fisher "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ztvU7.321334$[email hidden]...

Here's my d3d part from the core.ini: [ Direct3D7 ] D3DDevice = 0 TossHighestMip = 0 DoubleMirrorResWidth = 1 DoubleMirrorResHeight = 1 DirectMirrorRendering = 1 DisableZBuffer = 0 AlphaThreshold = 1 TransparentMipsDrawOrder = 1 TrilinearFiltering = 1 AnisotropicFiltering = 2 LODBias = -150 I think when it only lets you run in 640x480 mode, you are running the software mode instead of d3d, which looks really crappy indeed.

I just have one question after looking at those screen shots. Why was the car always between the white lines? Is that normal? dave henrie "Andre Warringa"> Screenshots and download here: > http://www.andre-gpl-texture.racesim.net/leipzig.html > Andre > >

I changed my core.ini to match yours, but still the same problem. FF doesn't work either. Also, the game crashed to the desktop when I crashed the car on a few occasions. I did some laps around the track though, and it is definitely a very, very well done track.

Seems like it doesn't reckognize your core.ini file, since ff doesn't work either. Thinking deep now.. I can remember some people had problems with the core.ini because there was an hidden extension behind it. The default core.ini in the gpl folder is named core.ini.sample, and on some systems the .sample part is hidden and gpl simply ignores this core.ini.sample file. Could you check if yours has a hidden extension? What you also can do is extract my core.ini file to your gpl folder: http://members1.chello.nl/~a.warringa1/core.zip PS you also installed update 1.2 from www.papy.com ? This is necessary for the force feedback to work. Andre

I put your core.ini in but still the same problems (forced 640x480). Even did a complete re-install (with your core and again the 1.2 patch and D3D patch, in that order), but no luck. David G Fisher "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Make sure that app.ini in your gpl folder is not set to read-only. Do you see your selected resolution in gpl\players\<your_player_name>\player.ini? David G Fisher wrote:

It's set to archive. I want to run it at 800 x 600, and that's what it says it's et to in the player.ini file. David G Fisher "Pierre Robitaille" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

A couple of months ago a new d3d patch was released by papy, allthough there no notification of this on their site afaik. They simply replaced the old d3d zipfile with the new one. Perhaps you had the older version on your HD? Otherwise.. I can't think of another solution I'm affraid.. In all the cases someone had this problem, there was something wrong with the core.ini file.. BTW, with my core.ini installed, the ff still doesn't work? In that case it's clearly that GPL for some reason can not find the correct core.ini file.. you put the core.ini in your sierra\gpl folder right? Andre

I used the one from theuspits.com . I'll re-download it and try again.

Yes. It's right there in the main directory. David G Fisher

Also make sure you rename it from core.ini.sample to just core.ini -- Fester
