HAR! Sure was! I looked at that, and looked at it some more. Then I hit the "Send" button knowing full well that it looked weird. Jim

OK, in 800x600 res, I can't get to the "Personal Section" part of the menu bar on the left of the main page. I'm using IE5.

Neil (Et Al) You want my impression? All I can say is "Impressed"! That page will definitely go in my links on my web pages. Nicely laid out. Great content. No miss-spelled words and correct grammar! Which is refreshing, to say the least. Of course what would you expect from a 26-year-old Phd? <VBG> Jim "Pops" Tester Email: [email hidden]

Hi, I know there are loads of GPL sites, but I have tried to cover some slightly different ground, ie a bit of explanation of the modelling of car physics, tyre modelling, etc.. It is in its infancy at the moment, so there is not a lot of info, but I'd appreciate your feedback. http://www.callnet0800.co.uk/myhome/nreverett/gplindex.htm This is my first experience of web site design, by the way! Cheers, Neil

Good start, keep up the good work!

Nice site, but there is no link to "tyres" at the bottom of the "basic sim principles" page. Neil <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Okay, I've got it in my favorites! I particularly like the simulation principles page. Only criticism; your lap times are way too quick <G>. Now you're just like all the other big-dogs -- intimidating the GPL novices. Sgt Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Nice page, but under recommended controllers, why not include ACT Labs? Andrew Neil <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Thanks for the comments everyone, it's good to hear that it's not a complete disaster! I know there are links missing all over the place, and I'll include the ACT Labs wheel in the controller section. I missed it as it's not readily available in the UK. I'll post to the group as it gets updated to be a little more comprehensive. Cheers, Neil

Same problem here using NS 4.72. You have scrolling disabled for the menu frame in the file gplindex.htm. The document you put in the menu frame is larger than the frame (at least at screen resolution 800x600). Enabling scrolling should make the complete menu accessible even though it wouldn't look so good. Stefan Scott Boham wrote:
