The very basics: GPL 1.2 patch ( www.papy.com ) WinVROC ( www.vroc.net ) GPLEA's cars ( www.gplea.org ) ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com

Now I've got gpl running like a good un, what do you feel are the best (essential) downloads for starters. Not too bothered about tracks yet, theres plenty to learn on the originals to keep me going for a while. Mark.

If you don't have a 3dfx card the D3D patch is a must. Kotten Mark wrote in message <8ta33l$8tf$[email hidden]>...

Well, this is a bit of a personal preference thing, but... 1) The v1.2 patch is utterly vital - www.papy.com (get the right country's version!) 2) For multiplayer mayhem, you want www.vroc.net 3) Lots of great addons at www.gplea.org 4) Lots more at www.theuspits.com/owheel/gpl/ 5) And yet more at the GPLSF (can't remember URL!) 6) See how you measure up at http://gplrank.ringlord.com (note: no www in that address) There are plenty of other good sites around - have a nose about and see what you want to investigate further... -- David.

Mark this is jussssst the beginnning. I see a new wheel and separate pedals in your future, another cpu upgrade, more memory...perhaps you could rent that basement out to pay for the improvements...

Thanks for all that. When I get back from the pub, I'll stack up GetRight before I go to bed. Already patched to 1.2 & using a Voodoo 3 card. (bought mainly for this game, probably the most expensive budget game EVER :o) Mark.
