Go download the new GPL fire video from http://gpl.gamestats.com This video is incredible! It shows the car running into the wall, getting airborne, doing several flips and catching fire. There are two different versions available for those with slow connections and several screen shots for people who don't want to or can't download the AVI.

Everything looks so real! (the grass and road!). The car flipping/rolling looks great! (no parts flying off, yet!...) The fire and somke looks very realistic (a lot better than the "cartoon smoke" in N12!), And GPL is still in ALPHA!! It looks like Papryus is ready to raise the standard for racing sims... again!

<<snipped>> <<snipped>> Wow, N12 is HERE already...??? Did we all miss something here...? Is it the year 2004 already...? LOL Jim and Lisa TDC: Mickey's Official NASCAR/IRL Crew Chief

UNREAL! You've got to see this! Check out the suspension movement as the car comes to rest. don
After downloading the zip-file (3-times) from one of Papy's servers, the AVI's (two of them) fail to load. I contacted Mike at Papyrus, and he says it's been fine for others (and obvious from the posts here). What could be wrong? I've tried tons of other AVI's from my CD collection, as well as some I had lying around elsewhere (thinking perhaps a DLL was missing), all to no avail. =P Help would be appreciated.

Did you download them from Papy's site or from http://gpl.gamestats.com ? I have two separate sites that you can download the avi's from and they are zipped for speed. If the zipped file is messing you up let me know and I Thanks John

There's an AVI player built into IE3 and IE4 which I've never found to fail on anything. Cheers! John
Hi John, Thanks for the tip...However, IE3 still won't load the blasted thing!! =P Cheers! Marc

The version I've sent is uncompressed and runs perfectly through my IE3 install here. Cheers! John
