We have just made available a BETA (say it three times) OpenGL driver for Grand Prix Legends which has been tested on STB Velocity 4400 cards. It will hopefully work on other TNT-based cards but we have yet to test it with any of them. We wanted to go ahead and make a beta version of this driver available as soon as we could, but please note that it is UNSUPPORTED at this time. We make no guarantees as to whether it will work at all and cannot provide technical support. There are also some known issues, particularly with video card drivers. Use at your own risk and read the included readmegl.txt file carefully. To download the driver, go to www.papy.com. Enjoy, Matt Sentell Creative Director Papyrus

Glad to see that Papy is offering support for... errr... providing drivers for OpenGL so more cards can be used. The more the merrier, I say! Cheers, Gian Vitzthum.

Seems you have to use an FTP app to access the files.. browser downloads don't seem to work. I got the demo already... Well done, Papy! This is a polished demo to be proud of! doktorB http://webhome.idirect.com/~drbryan/gpl >I know I'm rushing to try to download these drivers... unfortunately I'm >having problems downloading them >I will have to continue to keep trying.

Halleluia! Papy, I don't recall you ever responding so fast to user feedback. God, that is great. Muchisimas gracias And BTW, now that I have had a chance to really see this sim I bought... it is astounding. ya's made my day. Papy, you are the best. Don't worry, I know they are beta. Since you are clearly trying, I hope we all try to give useful (and not just the usual NG vitriol) feedback on the new drivers.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Hi Matt! to an open gfx language standard. Now how far away on the horizon is an unsupported Linux version using the Mesa library, I wonder?
