GPL Nurburgring patch?

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a patch for GPL that allows me to start before the start line instead of in the pits in free practice at the Nurburgring? I love this track, but driving all the way round just to get to the start to do a 'flying lap' (literally in my case ;-)) is a tad annoying :-) Thanks in advance! --- Stu [email hidden] ICQ#: 49723386 'We are all on the limit.

I think it's called "the ringtrainer" and it's in german. There was a translation of it some time ago at R.A.S. But sadly, I don't have the url for the program.

Here goes: http://www.joachimblum.de/ringtrainer.htm It's in German, so here's a little manual in English: What the program does is to simply change the position of your car as it is deployed onto the track. This position is defined within the "track.ini"-file. Ringtrainer now lets you chose between 11 different positions along the Nurburgring, each at the beginning of a particular section of the track. The main advantage of this is, that you can now drive through this sections multiple times in series without having to complete a whole lap inbetween. By this you can remember tricky corners faster. Because it's written in German, I will give some installation instructions right here: 1. Download the file called "Ringtrainer.zip" 3. Download the file called "Ringtrainer_Audioupdate.zip" 2. If you don't have the VisualBasic Runtime Modules 6.00, you must also download the appropiate file by clicking on the link which will send you to a Microsoft-server. 4. Extract the two Ringtrainer-zips into a single folder. 5. Make a backup of your original "track.ini"-file that is in the "\tracks\nurburg"-folder of your GPL-installation. 6. Copy the "track.ini"-file of the Ringtrainer-folder into the "\tracks\nurburg"-folder. 7. Ready to rumble ;). Fire up Ringtrainer by double-clicking the exe-file. 8. Now you can choose a particular section from the dropdown-list and the program will show you the part of the track redlined in a trackmap and the deploy-point of the car via a little sceenshot. Note: The car will be dropped a little before the redlined section so you can gain normal speed for that section. 9. You now have two possibilities to go on: Either you start GPL normally and can start driving from that deploy-point over and over again. Or you check the option "F4 als Hotkey aktivieren" and launch GPL via the "Start GPL"-Button. This feature enables the F4-key as hotkey. Every time you press F4 during playing GPL, Ringtrainer moves you one point forward on the track and gives the actual positioning via voice-output so you don't have to quit GPL to choose another part of the track for training - it can be done while in GPL. ATTENTION: You have to quit the training session and reenter though for the changes to take effect. this is due to the fact, that GPL loads the "track.ini" only once at the beginning of a training session. Note: The voice you hear will be a little strange - I did this because I didn't want everybody to hear my original voice ;)). Unfortunately this requires some computing-power so I left it optional for those who don't have the big PIII or Athlon under their desk ;). Also, big framerate-hits have been reported from opengl-patch users, but this should be history due to the lately releases D3D-patch. If you have further questions about the program, use the link on the Ringtrainer page to send me a mail. Have fun! Regards Crash
