It is awesome, especially considering N4 is going to run in D3D rather than glide. Going to make it a lot easier for their Nascar fans who have voodoo cards to upgrade knowing they'll be able to run GPL in d3d. -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends ICQ# 74084566 "SeymourButts" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:4a355.3497$[email hidden]... > Errm. well said...

Very good work here. I have NEVER been able to play GPL on my system, have tried twice since the game was released. Well with the new D3D7 patch it works like a charm. This is what I think good support is about, not releasing a title and moving on to the next project. **ElfKing** T'was in a kingdom long ago and far away......

wait don't throw it away, send me that V3! btw. the patch does seem to work with the demo as well (with my TNT1) although the mirrors aren't rendering correctly (looks like TV 'snow' frozen in time) so if anyone wants to try the demo, now that their cards will work with the game, goto papy.com!

While continued support is apreciated, bear in mind that what we're getting here is just the natural fallout FROM the next project. Things they've done for N4 where it's basically "no skin off their nose" to make it available for GPL. They arn't really doing any new programing for GPL. If they REALLY want to support GPL, let 'em put in weather, pit stops, and a full F2/F3 model. :) I'm afraid that isn't likely to happen, because they are on to the next project.
Marc Collins 24 Jun 2000 21:31 UTC#260514
It may not be new as in "from scratch," but you can bet that if it weren't for the personal dedication of the sim heads at Papy, we wouldn't be using this patch. Sierra, or EA, or any others would no more give resources to this (i.e., to help their loyal customers) than fly to the moon. Marc.

You are certainly correct there, as is evidenced by the fact that this patch came from Papy, not Sierra. Sierra would probably be annoyed that Randy Cassidy took a valuable 15 minutes of his lunch hour to write the anti-disco patch. As for EA, the Advanced Options editor for SCGT came from a group known only as "Friends of ISI". Not EA. Smells like a skunk works to me.

Actually, the patch was done by Grant Reeve on his own time. (And Eric did the installer, during lunch :) ).
