GPL demo question???

I have a P-133, 80 mb ram, 3 hard drives, WIN 98, Thriller 3D 8mb pci card, I downlaoded the newest demo from the PAPY site. It came with Watkins Glenn. Using a joystick, I had a lap time of 1:34.xxx for my first ever run there. I get roughly 13 FPS with no graphics. I went to Sim***world and The Pitts and they both had a MONZA add-on track for the demo. I followed the directions carefully, and when I ran the game Monza wouldn't load. Anybody have any suggestions?

Hi! Well, I did the same thing. (tho I didn't have the Herc card at first) The "new" demo is the same as the retail version... both version 1.0.0.0 or something like that. I think the main reason you are getting bad frame rates has to do with the P133. The MINIMUM req for GPL is a 166. And my 233MMX (o/ced to 261) STILL does not cut it, tho I do get 36 fps in Training with the Thriller. Even so, do you have the Rendition card selected in the Graphics options? You need to quit and restart the game in order for it to work. But Hardware sounds like the culprit. I'm building a Celeron system (got 90% of the parts) now and it should fly. But you will soon be able to get 400+Mhz Celerons soon, without Overclocking. check this out... [link lost in import] As for Monza, I think it was avaiable with the earlier demo, but with this 1.XXX demo it will NOT work. I tried everything imaginable, but it won't do it. Hope this helps, --dave

Radical suggestion - why not buy GPL and then you can enjoy all the tracks, Monza included? Call me mad, call me irresponsible, but it seems like a good plan :-) Cheers! John
