GPL Track limit?

I just recently got GPL and have been farting around with Monza for a while - even got within ~3 seconds of best lap with the Lotus. Anyways Is there a limit to the number of tracks that show up within the game, is it better to use GEM+ to switch tracks? Basically, what causes the least amount of problems?

63 tracks iirc "APLer" <[email hidden]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:[email hidden]...

APLer, Here is a link to get the necessary GPL updates..... go to the bottom of the page, and click on downloads. It will take you to the GPL Installer Site. Also, be sure and download the GPL Easy Installation Guide that is there. http://gplps.org/wb/pages/projects/gpl-installer.php You should install GEM and use it.... as it gives you so much more..... Also go to this RSC for other questions and help you may need... http://forum.racesimcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=36#gplthreads Ron "APLer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yes, I've got GP DDM, GEM+ 2 IGOR and Replay analyzer along with the addons,ranks and gpl links sites bookmarked. Right now I'm trying to get a decent setup for Lemans Bugatti. Tough with the 90 degree turns after the sweeping ones after Mulsanne.

There are 573 tracks for GPL, 128 of which can be in your "tracks" folder at the same time and 63 will fit into a season file. With GEM+ you can have multiple season files, so that indeed is your best bet for managing the track, imo. Jan. =---

Yes, that's how I got mulsonne <g>. Along with Mont Tremblant (the closest real race track to where I am) and a few others. > There are 573 tracks for GPL, 128 of which can be in your "tracks" > folder at the same time and 63 will fit into a season file.

Right now almost all the installed tracks (about 10 new ones *maybe*) are in the default season - I've yet to have the patience/guts to try a season yet.

I think it is 64 tracks not 63 "Fritz" <[email hidden]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:49190195$0$30230$[email hidden]...

573 tracks? Hmmm, I thought in reality it's quite a bit less (about 400?) - if one excludes alpha's and beta's, I guess. (Still a lot, though - I doubt if any other race game/sim gets close to it, in all.) Regards, Rudy (GPLRank: -40)

Well, rFactor does better: > select count(*) from tracks ; +----------+ | count(*) |+----------+ | 731 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) (taken from rF Rank's database this morning) We don't even support every track out there, so I guess the true number would be closer to 1,000 tracks. Cheers, Uwe

With all due respect, I'm afraid that one of the things that turns me off (not completely, mind) about rFactor is that there seems to be many variations of the exact same track which will increase the count, not to mention the many car/mod versions confusing things. I'm not doubting that rFactor has many tracks available though, as I believe that it's much much easier to produce one in rFactor than in GPL.

Besides, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of those tracks started out as GPL conversions (i.e. originally developed in GPL)? (Not sure about this though; I'm sure rFactor has many fine original tracks, too, btw.) Regards, Rudy (GPLRank: -40)
