Updates at Eagle Woman's Grand Prix Legends site

I've added some exciting new information to my Grand Prix Legends pages. GPL has been named Game of the Year by one magazine and runner-up by another. Steve Smith has added a new chapter to his Advanced Setup Guide. New sound samples created by a GPL fan named Patrick (and available at his site) transform GPL's audio environment. Patrick processed actual vintage racing engine sounds to make them suitable for GPL. With Patrick's sounds, you can hear every cylinder fire. The BRM shrieks, the Murasama bellows and howls, the Coventry moans and whines, the Ferrari wails, the Brabham roars, the Lotus and Eagle snarl. The result is a raw, visceral experience that evokes the sensations I've previously experienced only at real race tracks. If you're a GPL fan, you have *got* to try these sounds! Spurred by Achim Trensz' suggestion, I've installed a SoundBlaster Live! Value in my racing computer. The result is much better than I expected, better than I would have believed. I can run 16 cars heard in GPL, and frame rate is better than with a SB 16 running four car sounds! Sound quality is much improved, and online racing is dramatically better. I've added links to a number of sites which offer graphical enhancements, including complete carsets, and alternative sound samples for GPL. See the News page at my site for details on these and other developments: http://nh.ultranet.com/~alison/gpl/ Alison Remove the spam blocker NOSPAM to email me. http://www.nh.ultranet.com/~alison

Thanks for all you do Allison, I'll check that out. I recently added the sblive card as well, and it rocks with GPL, especially with 4 speakers. Don Burnette Dburn on Ten

Yes, thank you for your great site. And Patrick's sounds are amazing (just like his F1RS and MGPRS2 sounds). I have sent him a private message with a couple of suggestions how to improve a couple of the sounds, but anyone with ears' first impression will be WOW!!! If you care at all about sound you must at least try these new creations! And they are dead simple to install--you can even pick and choose which sounds to use if there are some you do not like as well as the originals!! It doesn't get any better than this, folks. http://homepage.tinet.ie/~expatjen/gpl.htm Marc.

>I've added some exciting new information to my Grand Prix Legends pages. http://nh.ultranet.com/~alison/gpl/ <snip lotsa good stuff> These 5 new wav files are sensational.....the 5 in one file (PD_GPL) appears to be corrupt, so just grab the individual files.....The ferrari sounds INCREDIBLE thru my 80watt amp and headphones, as do all the other cars...GPL just got even better !
