I just wanted to offer advice to people out there who have had trouble getting
the really great fullfield hack working in SCGT (who included me until
recently):
don't use "rename" when changing your PLR file-be sure to use "SAVE AS". I was
just renaming the file and my new player was not being recognized at start
up-identical to other problems i've heard on this group. Renaming leaves it as
a text file, "save as" converts it to the necessary plr file. The hack is
awesome-and its not that hard to get it going once you do it right. dan

Huh??
What are you 'save as'ing from? I renamed it by hitting F2 and it
worked fine. What program did you open it in and then 'save as' from?
Notepad? Notepad adds a txt extension to anything it saves unless you
surround the file name (including extension) in " marks.
This should be completely obvious unless (for some unknown reason) you
have elected to leave the default setting of hiding the extension for
registered file types. I know that's one of the first couple things I
change when I set up a Win9x installation, along with 'show all
files'.

Well I had the same problems. I'd load a race and get the "error loading
car stats" or something
like that. The car would be running but stuck in the pits and not
responding to any inputs.
I finally just left the name stuff alone and added a guy called "Your Name"
I figure it's just a dang demo and not worth it to dig thru all the funky
symbols in the
plr file to find and change the instances of "your name" to whatever name I
wanted to
run. Once I just left it alone as Your Name, the Big GT1 Porche rolled
right out onto
the track.
HOWEVER! I do have a BIG problem with the controller setup. I can't
assign any
controller inputs to my T2. Yes it's setup in win95 but it is an older T2
that uses an
adapter. I have the wheel and pedals separated going through a Joyswitch
box so that I
may also keep my Joystick/Throttle hooked up for flight sims...(and yes the
older pedals work
just fine for rudders in Longbow2 etc)
But with the Wheel setup, I don't get an option to change the inputs for
my controller, once I turned off
the wheel and that option DID come up, but with no wheel connected I
couldn't change the
settings. So I'm left with a choice of having reversed gas and brake
pedals...{VERY BAD!} or
yanking out all my flight sim stuff, re-connecting the wheel and pedal into
one plug and digging the
adapter out of my desk drawer. then repeating the procedure in reverse to
fly....
