The new P4 2.66Ghz laptop is here and running great. Does anyone have the
patches and so forth to get GPL running on it? I know there was one for 1Ghz+
systems that was required....
Thanks!

Getting Grand Prix Legends running on a fast new laptop
Todd Wasson of Performance Simulations asked for the patches needed to run GPL on a new 2.66GHz laptop and was pointed to the Papyrus downloads page, along with some ribbing from Byron Forbes for not finding it himself. Once running, he reported that tripling his frame rate made GPL far easier to drive. The thread drifted into frame rates and resolution, and Wasson praised netKar's physics.

I sometimes think that people who ask the simplest questions are the
ones who need the most help.
Or maybe they're the only questions I'm capable of answering? ;-)

LOL,
But I usually read questions like the above, and go "Jesus, he cant even
check with the software vender or google or even yahoo? What will he do if
he has to edit the .ini file?" and so I wont open that can of worms... I
mean there is a lot of info he could use, like that there are hundreds of
tracks, new cars & textures to be found, but he cant even do a google
search?
I wish him good luck adding anything to that game... Sheesh! LOL
Here are 2 good sites for GPL but don't ask me, Im not holding your hand
through it, as I could slip and drag both of us off that cliff :P
http://magnust.d2g.com/ Tracks out the wazoo!
http://gplpp.com/index.htm not the best site? but good starter with links
to other sites and add-ons and, and... (I think its great, But YMMV)

Higher resolution? What were you running at, and what are you running now?
I'm at 1024x768, but my system won't let me crank the graphics any...

Ti4600 video card. I *think* GPL will led me go up to 1280 x 1024(can't
remember at the moment), but then the frame rate is unacceptable.
I wonder if the higher resolution helps people drive better? One of these
years, I'll be able to afford to replace my 17" Compaq monitor...then I'll be
invincible! :-)

I haven't tried NetKar yet. I can't remember if that or LFS needed DX9, which
I haven't loaded yet.
You ran a 1:30 lap at 3FPS?!? You da MAN! It took me...well, longer.
But in N2003 and F1C, my car control improved as I lowered graphics to gain
FPS. I first noticed in N2003, after David gave me some suggestion on what
settings to tweak. I went from about 35-45 fps to 65-70 fps. I'm still slow
as hell, but I don't spin as often now. <g>
