GPaL : what does it stand for ?

Hi There has been some interesting news on this GPaL What does this stand for ? I thought it would be interesting if there is a " Setup assistant " who will prompt several questions and then proceed to do the rather complicated setup for us. Some kind of AI Is there such a thing ?? -- regards =========================================== Singapore

Leong... Well, GPaL is not an acronym for anything, if that's what you are wondering. The name is simply intended to indicate that the product is a companion (a "pal") product to GPL. Nothing more than that. :) Hope you give it a try and enjoy it! Jack Rambo www.RaceLive.com/GPaL

"Acronym; a word formed from the initial letters of other words." (Collins dictionary) Seems like an acronym to me, Jack! -- Best regards, Bruce. ====== The Stunned Mullet........seriously satirical stuff! http://welcome.to/the_stunned_mullet =============================================== >Leong... >Well, GPaL is not an acronym for anything, if that's what you are wondering. >The name is simply intended to indicate that the product is a companion (a >"pal") product to GPL.

Speaking of "setups assistance"... Give or take, about a year ago, there was a program that would look at a replay and give you information such as.. Slip angles, Lap times, Speeds carried at intervals of one foot, show you the line you took for each lap, ect.. ect.. I can't remember the name of that program at all. All I do remember is that it was for the N2 and that I couldn't understand what a slip angle was ;-) Driving GPL, I now can tell what the car is doing and know what a Slip angle is. I don't remember who wrote that program, But if any of you do... Please contact him and ask him to build one for GPL. Mike Barlow

Leong... I'm not currently developing anything related to "setup AI" but I am working on a setup management/comparison screen that will make it easier to 1) move setups between cars and drivers and 2) identify differences in setups. Perhaps in a subsequent version, some "AI" could be added to further enhance this. My intent is too grow GPaL into an all-inclusive suite of tools to support GPL, so I welcome feedback like yours!

This is good news Jack. This is exactly what I've been looking for. I started playing around with setups and am always trying to find the differences between setups. A feature to copy and paste fields between setups would be great. Can't wait to try it. > Leong... > I'm not currently developing anything related to "setup AI" but I am working > on a setup management/comparison screen that will make it easier to 1) move > setups between cars and drivers and 2) identify differences in setups. > Perhaps in a subsequent version, some "AI" could be added to further enhance
