Is there any way you could check your mail settings? This came out(to me) as 26 lines, with your single-line question repeated twice. The rest of the lines were printing 'codes'...

it was set on plain text, isnt that what i need?, and if you can read this , is there a game called gp2? or is that gpl 1.2? if there is a game gp2 , is there a demo? thanx, Rod
Yes , There is a game called GP2. And almost 4 years after its release ,it's still the best modern F1 sim to date.But don't know if there is a demo available. Rafael

Boy, you really need a clue! :-) There is GP2, old graphics (GFX), great expandability (500+ tracks), best simulation of the behaviour of an contemporary F1-car to date. No demo available. There is GPL, (of which version 1.2 is the most recent), which is the all-time best simulation driving-wise. It simulates the 1967 F1-season. There is a demo available. This is the objective truth. Ofcourse there are dozens of other "sims" available, but they all suck in one way or another. But you will doubtlessly hear someone else claiming any other game to be the best. But just ignore them, they have no taste or are plain arcade-freaks.

Good advice. Both GP2 (Microprose) and GPL (Sierra) are GREAT sims.... Both are VERY old. Both are for sale online in Europe (UK) and USA for VERY cheap prices, something like $20 each.... Don't buy Windows but buy these....when it is well programmed it is worth getting your money out to thank the programmers who did the great job....DON'T THANK MICROSOFT PROGRAMMERS....

GP2 is Grand Prix 2, by Microprose. It's about 5 years old, but you may be able to find is in a bargain bin. I don't remember ever seeing a demo for it, but I'm sure you can pick it up for less than $10. GPL has a patch that makes it ver 1.2. That's available from the Sierra web site.

I don't think that you can make that blanket statement. Yes, there are some that *do* suck. But, there are others that may be good games with a minor flaw(or two). They don't ALL suck. And *some* of us have the tolerance to accept something different... Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends? Goto http://gpl.gamestats.com/vroc Never argue with an idiot.
