TO ALL !!

> Ok I understand that many of you are having many problems with the patch. Of the posts that I've read (maybe 50%) regarding the problems with the 1.1 patch, I didn't get the impression that people are whining...it's just people stating the facts: when the see the problem, how it affects the game, and wondering (and asking)why. These posts make it possible for others to decide whether or not to install the patch and the problems it may create. I'm sure the posts are also helping Papy to gather info for addressing the problems with the patch. Just my opinion. -- Sergey Zakharov

Ok I understand that many of you are having many problems with the patch. I myself havnt had time yet to totally test the new patch and features. HOWEVER WAKE UP GUYS & GALS !! 1. Papy did a great job with the game.... without them we would have no GPL 2. Papy is not a deliver and close the file company. they listened to us and brought out a patch to try to satisfy our demands. 3. Ok...maybe there was not a great dela of testing for this patch BUT ALL OF YOU TELL ME HONESTLY.... DIDNT THE MAJORITY OF US WHINE TO PAPY SAYING "OH PAPY OH PAPY WHERE ART THOUST PATCH, OH PAPY" Huh ! They had a huge demand from all us GPL fanatics ! We are part to blame for pushing and pushing and pushing.. and lastly ( i wont bore you much longer) and most importantly 4. HAVE PATIENCE !! Papy aint gonna leave you in a drain to slowly decompose ! Give them a moment and the space to breath and look at it! Im sorry for havin a whine but there are many who are a little ticked off and are going a bit beyond what is neccisary. Be thankful that Papy brought the game out... and have some patience while they work it out ! Dave

Ok, question. The subject of your message is "TO ALL!" Now seeing how this message is about GPL, then this message does not in fact apply "TO ALL!" It should say "TO ALL GPL USERS!" or something like that. When someone says "TO ALL!" that to me says this message will apply to ALL reader's of this newsgroup regardless as to if they own GPL or not. BTW, When did this group just assume that GPL is the only sim worth talking about? It's not, there are better sims out there. I wasn't even alive in 1967 so I could care less about driving a car I have never seen or never will in real life. Back to your whining, flaming, and general "GPL is God" ranting....

Yes Andre! Icr3 or Cart3 if they made it like GPL ;O) Hint Hint!! Also they can patch, fix, bandaid, glue it or whatever! Imho; Gpl is the best sim I have ever raced and would really like to see Cart upgraded to it! Cheers Again Thom_j. P.S. Randy; Give yourself & any other programer a job well done on Gpl patch 1.1. I like it.. Yes it has changed but I still like most of the changes..
...and never would have patience to learn control it. It's as simple as that. You don't seem to be in the target group of GPL. You don't want to "waste" your time to learn something that is very difficult. You want it "the easy/quick way" and that's not bad either, maybe it's just better for you to drive something that "gives YOU more" than GPL :) But tell me where is better sim and I'll buy one of those ;) PS. I think you should of sayed: "there are better sims out there for me".

Please list all the sims that have as gooed a 3D car physics/driving model (with a force-feedback implementation to match it).

Surprising statement, coming from you, but you're right. There's different approaches to racing, to each his own. Jan. ------ ><snip>...and never would have patience to learn control it.

Am I allowed to list sims that are just downright more *enjoyable*? -- Ari Nieminen Remove .NOSPAM from my e-mail address when replying.

>Am I allowed to list sims that are just downright more *enjoyable*? Sure, knock yourself out. I've played racing games that were more enjoyable for a short period of time, but nothing with gameplay that lasted a year or more (the last one with that much replayability for me was NFS 1).
