Questions re: SPGT and TPTCC

Re-installation of GPL is not an option here due to extreme social withdrawal syndrome. N2/TPTCC was crude but fun. Dodgy, twitchy cars. N3/TPTCC seems a little unsupported. And, the cars have a sort of "on rails" feeling. Graphics are still not up to the standards of the last rally sim I bought. It may be a good after work un-winder but one day is a little soon to tell. I have a copy of SCGT and a question. Is it really worth the effort of all the multiple downloads and patches to set this up to run what look like very tasty cars? I'd like a fairly good car model and looking at some of the names associated with the SCGT add ons I know that there must be something good about it. I'm former real world SCCA, Trans-Am and FIA Appendix J kind of guy who knows that his chances of driving a sim Lotus XI (beautiful car, Irish pony cart suspension) with authentic Coventry Climax sounds are less than slim and below none. Should I just bag the whole thing and join the faithful at the Little Chapel of the Brothers waiting in front of the altar for the vapor to turn to flesh?

I do agree that the "newsworthiness" of the TPTCC patch has worn off a little, looking at it isolated, I mean, when Jan first uploaded the first TPTCC patch for us to have a look, it was like WOW!!!, and I guess time has run away from it a little Gfx wise, although I still think it looks kinda neat in 1024x768, and the TransAm theme is also one I like a lot And then there's this little thing called ONLINE RACING, nuff said :-) Last season I got to race my simulated Holden Commodore against some of the nicest sim racers there is, I would have been back for this season if I could, not to mention that we also have access to some very nice tracks thx to the GPL community and David Noonan's converter Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com http://www.teammirage.com "A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke" --Groucho Marx--

I have SCGT cars imported in NASCAR Heat because the physics are MUCH better than SCGT. The parameters I came up with are pretty good for the GT cars, but GTS and LMP still needs to be worked on. It's an old version, but you can get it at http://lemans.teampepsi.com/ My big update should be done soon with AI, paintable cars, all the cars on the entry list, etc. Thanks, Alex Knott Hymm <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Alex, Thanks for the pointer. This option certainly looks like it has some potential.
