If you are referring to SP3 for Windows NT, you cannot obtain it anymore (save someone sending you the .EXE or an old CD containing it). Service Pack 5 is available from Microsoft's web site. If I am not mistaken, SP6 was recently released as well. These Service Packs are patches to rectify issues with Windows NT. As a baseline, most NT machines require a minimum of SP3 to run most 'new' apps (I also believe SP3 is the newest to include DirectX support). Head over to Microsoft's web site and get yourself a copy, but bring a good book, beacuse they're generally between 25 and 35MB COMPRESSED........

Service pak three is a huge massive project done privately by Gunslinger. He took all the created cars to date and scrounged up real world pictures for each one, that alone is amazing, 155 cars and pictures. But he also added a trans Am series, an Australian V8 Touring car series, a host of program improvements. It trully is a monumental undertaking. The dload is like 125 megs, (broken into 40+ 2 meg files) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DLOAD IT WITH NETSCAPE. YOU'LL GET A CORRUPTED FILE. IE 5 or better yet, Gozilla or Getright(two very good download managers) will grab the files correctly. You can even use the dload managers to schedule dloading while you are asleeep. SCGT may not have the physics of GPL. but GPL sure doesn't have a used car lot as big as SCGT's :) dave henrie > ...and where do I get it? > Warlock!
Service pack is a term Microsuck uses for bug fixes. They will probably be available at their website. You can find their website by going to the google search engine (www.google.com) and typing "more evil than satan himself" as search parameters. It'll be on top of the list.

Warlock, The 3.0 Service Pack is a complete redue of SCGT with 155 correctly painted cars,including the Riley & Scott,and the Silk Cut Jag to name a few. The Trans-Am series instead of the GT-Q class, and the V8 Touring cars. There are many other changes to the siml. You can read about all of them and download it from Techware. http://techware.gtinsider.com/ but be prepared for the longest download of your life. Joel Willstein
