GPL - how do you pause during the race?

How .. what if i need to go to the toilet during a race .. heheh ..

Press the Pause/Break key. It's the right end button of the top row (F Keys) >How .. >what if i need to go to the toilet during a race .. heheh ..

Hey man, This is a sim, damn it! You pee your pants (just like the 'Cup guys admit to doing) & hope you sweat enough during the race that nobody notices when you climb out of your car! :) Randy

Even though I'm a daily reader of r.a.s, I have yet to see anyone mention experiencing a flickering of the cursor or lockups associated with later versions of drivers for Voodoo 2 cards when running GPL. I've had this problem with drivers from both Diamond (my original V2) and Metabyte (a Wicked 3DV2 to sli with the first). With the Diamond, reverting to the 203 drivers solved the problem. Is it an incompatibility with Glide 2.54 (since the earlier drivers used 2.53)? Is there a workaround that would let me use 2.53 for GPL and 2.54 for other games? Regards Brian

I've got the same problem (using Diamond drivers). Not aware of any solution unfortunately. =( Neil M.

Brian, you must have just started reading this newsgroup. This question is asked and answered about 10 times a day! That's exactly the problem and the workaround is to put the 2.53 glide2x.dll in your GPL directory. Dave Ewing

Download the following file and unzip it into your GPL main directory (folder) and you will 2.53 Glide for GPL and 2.54 (or whatever for all other applications. http://www.grandprix2.com/gpl/patches/glide2x_253.zip -- **************************** Michael E.

Is the 3dfx properties set right? eg; Go to the desk top and right click.. Go to properties.. go to (3dfx or voodoo3) settings.. Go to advanced.. uncheck the trylinier<sp?> stuff. the only 3dfx/glide option you may or may not need would be the Limit something to 2 meg. not sure this is your problem but it's worth a shot.

Drop Glide 2.53 into your GPL directory and it will work fine. Sid.

I have a Metabyte Wicked3D SLI setup. I need to turn triple color buffering off or else I get flickering in GPL Hope that helps......
