Indy '67 and Lakeside for GPL

Well, I haven't seen it announced here yet, but since it may be of interest to several racing fans, here goes: Both Indy 1967 (full detail, lite version available, more lite patches @ racesimcental) and Lakeside (the old Tasman series track, Lite version available) have been released for GPL. Both look great, and drive accordingly ;) And, maybe even more important: both of these have evolved as superb community projects. http://dixierunners.speedgeezers.com/Indy1967/ http://madcowie.racesimcentral.com/ Be sure to give the authors a well-deserved big hand! :) Regards, Rudy (GPLRank -18)

Driving Indy in a Lotus is a blast! Did a 52.96 just now. A lot of people however (including me) have reported frame rate drops into single digits on the front stretch: look at the bottom of page 4 of the thread in the GPL RSC forum for some fixes. AI has some problems wrecking in turn 2, however (then again they always have problems on ovals it seems). John DiFool

The default path is C:\Sierra\GPL but yours may be different. You are installing the Standard version first aren't you? and then drop the hi res mips into the indy67 directory if you want them. Sid. "barbara johnson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Ok... I'm an idiot ... how do I install it.. I'm not too good at these things ( I need a self-extractor).. Be Kind PLEASE TIA Timmy

Barbara (and Timmy): As far as I can tell, this is not a stand-alone installation; it is an upgrade of the modern Indy derived from NASCAR Racing (yclept "ims"). If you have the earlier version of the Speedway installed, you just drop the new files into that folder (they don't replace any existing files; they take precedence over those in the .dat file). --Steve Smith "barbara johnson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

An Aussie F2 league raced at lakeside a few weeks ago (when it was still a beta), and it rocked. You guys should check it out! David Corless "Ruud Dingemans" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bqe27e$p5t$[email hidden]...

You MUST download the "standard" Indy67 zip file first. That one DOES come with an installer. Simply unzip the contents of Indy67.zip somewhere on your drive, and run trackinstall.exe. It'll prompt you for your GPL location, if different from the default. It will then create an Indy67 folder. Once the install completes, you then simply extract the files from Indy67_hires.zip into the Indy67 folder.

Does this process work with the "voodoo" version as well?...er, since I'm using a voodoo 5? "Bamboozled" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:TnJyb.18362$[email hidden]...

Get the standard with framerate patches (=lite), or Voodoo specific version. My V5 runs the 'lite' track great.

Well, half-right, anyway. The hi-res ver is an upgrade of the "Indy67" track, not the "ims" track. Oddly enuf, when I dropped the former's hi-res files in my "ims" folder, the miscegenation worked fine, but when I installed Indy67 and then installed the appropriate hi-res files, the whole thing crashed (or, rather, froze), and just when I'd got on the pole, too, durnit! Anybody else having this prob?

I got the voodoo specific version and patched it with the link you provided....only now I'm getting freeze-ups. So I reinstalled the track again over-writing the patch and no more freezes. Haven't tried the Lite yet. Think it will make a difference?

Think it will make a difference? Try it and let us know.... ;) Seriously, I don't know. Freezes can supposedly be caused by a number of problems, many seem to be driver/system specific. I'd say the Lite version is worth the download. -Greg

It's "User," not "Unser," and I'm older than Mario when he last tried the Speedway (with whoop-de-do results). P.S. Ran a 30-lap AI race; no probs (but I saw somebody else posted a freeze). Beautiful graphics, BTW, particularly that threatening sky (rain moving in from the west), but I don't think they had sky-crane camera positions in '67.
