@cts.com Newsgroups: rec.autos.simulators After downloading the track...and following the directions to the letter (moved WatGlen dir, created monza dir in /tracks, unzip) it still crashes the demo after loading the first screen......any ideas?

Good work guys - thanks!! How does the new demo compare to the original Watkins Glen demo ? Any new features ? (Apart from the track of course !) KD

Make sure the ONLY directory or file in the "Tracks" folder is the one that says "Monza".. Are you running windows 98?? If so, did the demo work for you with the Glen?? Other than that, I have no clue.. worked fine for me. let me know, d.b. >After downloading the track...and following the directions to the letter >(moved WatGlen dir, created monza dir in /tracks, unzip) it still crashes the

2 MB - its just the track files.. you need the other demo in order to play it. If you don't have it, get it from www.papy.com doktorB >> It's up on my site... >How big is it?

I've posted the Monza GPL files to: alt.binaries.simulators.autos ..so PLEASE DOWNLOAD IT FROM THERE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. My ISP server is going nuts!! .. but check out my Monza page, and make sure to read the "Save Monza" campaign section. Send off an email to Chris Balfe to give him your support; tell him "Dan" sent you. Thanks, doktorB >It's up on my site... >my site: >http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl >Enjoy..

.... And I've been too busy posting it everywhere to even try it yet!!! I've had it for an hour and fif*** minutes.. but I sacrficed my time so that others could enjoy! REMEMBER THIS.. do me a favour and sign that Monza petition.. this could be the last ever Monza GP (September - two weeks from now) doktorB

>After downloading the track...and following the directions to the letter >(moved WatGlen dir, created monza dir in /tracks, unzip) it still crashes the >demo after loading the first screen......any ideas? It worked first time for me - no problems at all. Now if I only could work out how to get through that damn Parabolica without spinning....... After about an hour, I've only managed to complete one lap without hitting anything <g>. I'd forgotten just how ***y *difficult* GPL actually is! (1:38 something, for what its worth). KD

@cts.com Newsgroups: rec.autos.simulators Ooopps...heh....just installed a new hard drive, and it changed the assignment letter from D: to E:....have to make a registry fix to correct the error....works like a CHARM!!! Thanks to both SimRacer and DoktorB.... Now, how do you say Exceedingly Large *** in Italian?!!? WOW, whatta track!!! The left hander after the bridge is flat out...if you hit it right...and turn one?! 4th gear drifting the car through with the wheels screaming at me!! Whatta rush!

Thank you doktorB as well as SimRacer. WS

What a great surprise gift for a Friday evening and weekend! I just fed my kid, so look out Monza spectators! I'll be careening your way soon! Thank you doktorB and SimRacer! You guys deserve the auto sim Nobel Prize, at the least! Regards, with screaching tires! Kurt

i have exceedingly large italian ***. i also am screwing off at work. i figured that i would try the monza track here. i have downloaded the GPL demo from papy and cannot get it to run after installation. anybody out there have any ideas? my system is: P166-32RAM with NO 3D video card the video options during installation are "from disk(?)", "3Dfx", or "rendition". obviously, i chose the "from disk" option. nope. it is asking for "DINPUT.DLL". i do not have a joystick on this system. kinda hard to explain THAT one to the boss, eh? am i just hosed because of no 3D card? thanks, j

dang it! i new i shouldn't have taken off links ls98 off my 'work' computer! thanks, edwin. j

Unzipped, the Monza.dat file is 4,927KB.. I know from *experience* that the files are different to the "beta" track files. doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl >> I am just uploading the file as I write this.. >Quick question...How big is the Monza.dat file (kb-unzipped)?

I"ve GOT to know...........does it have the banks? Brandon Number 6 Every Other Man Productions Reed Racing & Enginering http://www.***highway.net/~blreed "Be king in your dreams." - Andrew Carnegie

Fraid not, never will in GPL either :( (unless of course some die hard hack0r makes a track editor :)

No....no banking. The banking was not used in the 3-litre era. It was last used for a GP in the 1.5-litre period. Papyrus, thank God, have remained true to history and have not included it. > I"ve GOT to know...........does it have the banks? > Brandon -- Regards, Bruce. ---------- The GP Legends Historic Motor Racing Club is located at:- http://www.netspeed.com.au/brucek/legends/
