If you already upgraded GPL to 1.2.0.x then (re)set the path to GPL.EXE in WinVROC. Cheers! Remco

and I just learned that a "-" in front of a track means you don't have that track installed. At least not in a place VROC is expecting to see it. So maybe, as someone else has suggested, VROC is looking in the wrong parent directory for gpl.exe. Good luck hth, jeff On Wed, 14 Jan 2004 14:27:44 -0800, "DB" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Thanks, I got Vroc working by simply reselecting the GPL directory in VRoc. Also as you mention the '-' means that I didn't have those tracks installed :) I have been away from GPL for awhile am just getting back into it again. Now for my next question. I have an ATI9700 video card so I installed the D3d option. It looks fine except from the 'in cockpit' view in the upper left hand corner there is a square of video artifacts. I have tried messing with all of the core.ini options for d3d with no effect. Thanks for your help so far guys :) Dave B <"j[nospa"@nospam.attbi.com wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Apparently that is something to do with the latest Catalyst drivers. If you turn of anti-aliasing in your display you will get rid of it. If you still want to use AA then you have to switch back to an earlier catalyst version (3.8 or earlier) Hope it helps, Jimster
