Hi all, Just a couple of things on GPL.... 1. Today I noticed a very strange problem... When I first installed the demo I played with the keyboard. Then I installed, calibrated and used my new wheel (A Thrustmaster "Formula 1" wheel), and it worked fine. Until I recalibrated it. Occasionally the game would get jerky for a few seconds, which was very annoying. The problem got worse with every subsequent recalibration too! But then I switched back to using the keys for a few laps. I then switched back to my wheel, and recalibrated it. And this fixed the problem. Using the keys seemed to "refresh" the game somehow.... 2. According to a message on the gpl.gamestats forum, the Gold version of GPL has hit the web in warez format... -- Cheers!

There are several bugs in this version. When I buy this game in a few weeks it had better NOT be the same one I just downloaded or it will be going back the very same day. So far I have counted at least 20 bugs or anomolies which clearly indicate a pre-release version.

Let me get this straight... you're complaining that your pirated copy has some bugs in it?!?!? Idiot. Keith >>>2.

Agreed. Plus I think that the "Placeholder Credits", and the fact that most of the files are from early to mid August, clearly indicate beta, and not even the newest one at that... cant wait to BUY the finished version when it's done. Brian Short
