Well, I have decided to give GPL another try. When I initailly got it, I returned it after about 20 days to Sierra and got my money back. I was very upset about a number of features, the most being that there was no adjustable AI. I did not have the time to put into GPL to get anything out of it, so I returned it. In the long run, I feel that this was a good decision. Now that I have the time to really learn it, I just reordered it again from Chips and Bits for $20. I have promised myseld to give it alot more time and effort, which is possible now that I am home from school for the summer. If yo have any suggestion about downloads, setups, words of wisdom and encouragement, etc., they would be greatly appreciated:) Tom

I doubt that you will get any useful tips or hints from this group <g> Make sure you still maintain a life, because GPL is messing up a lot of people as you can see by reading this NG. <g> Tore

>Well, I have decided to give GPL another try. How generous of you. I certainly wouldn't have given you your $$ back for that reason. If you didn't have time, why did you buy it in the first place?? If you bother to do a search for GPL with any reasonably search engine you will find heaps.Of course if you don't have time for that either, maybe you would like one of us to come and set it up for you and do the driving while we are there. That way you can do what you do and watch out of the corner of your busy eye. A great game like GPL is wasted on winchers like you. Maybe a play station Sega Rally would suit you better. T.

<snip> Did you by any chance get out the wrong side of the bed this morning? And then fall over? And then lose your wallet, have your house fall down and get hit by a car? You sound like it.... :-) -- Cheers! Graeme Nash http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk ICQ# 11257824
><snip> >GPL is hard, real hard. That's why some love it. That's why some >hate it. GPL redefines hard. Wrong attitude. You've got to do it enjoy your driving. I've never beaten the AI and have been on the podium of very few on-line races. Still I enjoy it. I consider it a previlege to be able to race all these talented people. I can't afford to do the same in RL. Hear, hear.... but, do we want an even harder sim??? -Off course we do!! ;-) Jan. ------
