GPL newbie question

I've just gotten GPL and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on what addons (graphics, sound, tracks, utilities) I should get and what sites I should visit. Thanks. Beerman

Best thing to start off with is, tell everyone your pc system specs.. Then all has an idea how much your system can take via addons!

Yep, Phils guide is a very good place to start. If that does not answer all your questions, you might learn something from the beginners guide at http://jc.simracing.dk First and foremost update to the newest version.... then enable ForceFeedback if you got a wheel supporting that. The easiest and best way to make GPL look great, is installing the JF addon package found at http://jfcarsets.cjb.net/ That will update all cars to look their very best. There is a ton of utilities... start working your way down Thom J.'s list ;) Mikkel Phil Lee <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Et%k7.2034$[email hidden]...

Thanks for the information guys. Looks like this is going to be as download intensive as EAW. :-) Beerman "Mikkel Gram-Hansen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3b94d4c6$0$277$[email hidden]...

You might want to spend some time working on your driving skills _before_ you get too carried away with the add-ons and all the new tracks that are out there. Without a fair bit of work developing you skills to the point where you have some decent lap times on the standard tracks, you may find yourself just spinning your wheels (pun intended) by jumping from add-on to add-on, track to track, with no progress and resulting sense of accomplishment. I'm not saying that the add-ons are not worth while. Many of them are. But like learning a musical instrument, you've got to spend some time on the fundamentals. Once you have some speed and you get involved in the on-line community, you'll discover the real thrill of this "game". Then the add-ons serve to enhance the enjoyment. Get the Papyrus updates to GPL. (version 1.2.0.1 or 1.2.0.2) Get a good steering wheel and pedals. Get WinVroc. Kiss your social life goodbye. YMMV -- Darryl
