GPL a little help needed

Hi I'm getting a friend hooked on GPL (does that make me a pimp?) But i'm having a small problem with his setup. He has; athlon 500 diamond viperII (savage 2K) 128 Mb of mem as you can see, a pretty good spec, and the game looks very good, using the D3D patch and all the extra goodies. However his mirrors look as if the image has been cut up into vertical strips and these strips have been misaligned somehow. He has all the latest drivers etc anybody have any idea? i tried every setting in the core ini off and on and i'm stumped, any other S3 savage 2K users out there? Sudesh

Well, I think the majority of people who buy GPL buy it because it is a simulator and not an arcade game and part of the simulation is seeing things the way Clark, Hill, Surtees etc. saw them. One good thing about Crammonds sims is that there is only a cockpit driving view. I suppose you could use the chase but there is no telemetry.

I had the Viper II and gave up on trying to get the mirrors to work (athlon 650, 128 mem) So I got an Geforce II and I works now. It is that crap card. "sudesh" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I don't wanna sound rude or anything, but hasn't it been beat to death yet that some people (myself included) just prefer the Arcade camera view? I get really tired of reading comments like yours that there should only be the cockpit view in a game. Some people just don't like the cockpit. Deal with it. Okay, that DID come off as sounding a little rude. Sorry. ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com

Yes, this topic has been beat to death, revived and beat to death again, shot, burned and disolved in acid. Some people just don't like the chase view. Deal with it. :) Chris -- GPL FD League http://www.egroups.com/group/gplfd Simbok Racing www.geocities.com/simbokza Remove _your_clothes before replying "Dan Belcher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I don't wanna sound rude or anything, but hasn't it been beat to death yet that > some people (myself included) just prefer the Arcade camera view?

I think what Chris meant is that it's not very usefull to respond to someone having a problem with the mirrors with a statement like "switch to a view that doesn't use the mirrors". -Winding up F10-view drivers was just an aftertouch. <g> Me, I don't care either way. Although I personally prefer cockpit view and do see some of the arguments for having a forced cockpit view _option_ (please note the emphasis), I don't have any real problem with F10-view drivers. Horses for courses and all that. I do believe a simulation without a cockpit view is not worth the title, but isn't doesn't have to be the only view. Jan. =--- Dan Belcher wrote...

Though this won't help I have a Savage 4 and it works perfectly with GPL apart from the fact that it takes ages to go from screen to screen so by the time you get to the grid the race has already started! Thanfully the Voodoo 2 doesn't have this problem!
