GIVE US SOME REAL INFO ON GPL PATCH&GPAL

I'd just like something to come through an official stream, Sierra or Papy, doesnt matter. Why are they keeping their mouths shut when everyone is obviously getting e***d, e***ment which is now turning to impatience? As for Gpal, I know Jack you're not to blame, but could you try and be more precise as to the availability date, and what the hold ups may be exactly, is Gpal finished or are you waiting for the Patch? Please tell us what and if you can. We're all looking forward to this great bit of software, and I hope your hard work is rewarded as it deserves. P.S. I know the patch is gonna be great, but I love software you can fiddle with, so I'm looking forward more to Gpal than the patch, while we'll all be glad if all these online problems (or most of them) are solved. Best wishes to Jack, you've really got me going like it was Christmas day when i was about 5yrs old <VBG> Ross (macWun on GSB/VROC)

Hmm... I see in this newsgroup plenty of information about the upcoming Patch for GPL. We have the full English version of the readme.txt, and some pretty good explications from Randy and Eric about more technical questions. Plenty of questions answered about the client/server additions to the patch, and hints about FF, etc..

Ross... GPaL is not awaiting GPL 1.1...It's waiting on me to finish all the "must-have" items...shouldn't be too long now. If that seems a little vague, my guess is that you haven't "enjoyed" any time in the software development business. ;-) As Microsoft, Papyrus and anybody else in the business will tell you, estimating delivery dates is anything but an exact science. If receiving GPaL makes it feel like Christmas for you, I'd estimate that today's date is somewhere in the range of December 23-25. Jack Rambo www.RaceLive.com/GPaL

Perhaps some folks write without thinking first? :) Personally I was pleased that they put up the readme.txt file...now I'm starting to rework setups to the 2.5 ride height so I won't be caught too flatfooted. :)

Isn't it nice not having senior management know what the date is 18 months in advance? Ah, that is unless you talk to yourself ....:) Jeff

LOL! Yes, Jeff, doing your own thing does have its advantages. However, in the case of GPaL, the following equations apply: Senior Management = RAS + Beth Beth = spousal unit If you guys don't kill me, she will. Jack Rambo www.RaceLive.com/GPaL

impatience? Have you been reading this news group? What information are you asking for that I haven't already divulged? Randy

I believe its on Papyrus' site..but I don't know a good URL for it. Try around www.sierrasports.com and there should be a link. Alternately, if you go to www.simracingnews.com there is a link to the readme.txt there. :)

Jack, Will it be essential to update GPL with the Papyrus patch in order to use GPaL? Or can your utility be used on the initial 1.0.0.0 version of GPL? -- Best regards, Bruce. ====== The Stunned Mullet........seriously satirical stuff! http://welcome.to/the_stunned_mullet =============================================== >Ross... >GPaL is not awaiting GPL 1.1...It's waiting on me to finish all the >"must-have" items...shouldn't be too long now.

Bruce... GPaL will work with either version. It detects the version that you have installed and adjusts itself accordingly. Jack Rambo www.RaceLive.com/GPaL

Jack - Did I miss the GPal release?

Jack, When I was a little boy, I could never wait for Christmas. Used to get up at 4:00 A.M. Christmas morning. Looks like at lot of GPL ***s have the same problem. I know they are driving you crazy, but they can't help themselves. Don Jacobs P.S. How many miles have you put on your bike the past couple weeks?
