GTR2002- Font size causes problems

Just a heads up for those few of you that may have changed your font sizes from their "normal" DPI setting to some custom setting. This *will* cause a problem with the pre-game panel of GTR2002; the panel where you set your player name and decide on number and class of opponents. In my case the panel was displayed missing the right side and the bottom of the panel. Of course the right side has half of the option setting buttons on it and the bottom has all the exit and continue type buttons on it. The only way I could exit the screen was by ctrl-alt-del. After days of messing around with options, video card drivers, reinstalling F1-2002 several times and downloading GTR 3 times (thank heavens for cable :) ) , I finally picked up a clue on the simbim forums. Reset my font DPI back to normal and now the pre-game panel shows up as it was meant to. Excellent game , BTW, well worth the effort it needed to get it to run. I had F1-2002 on the hard drive but had never really got into it, mostly since modern F1 cars tend to bore me. GTR is a real leap forward and has captured my attention almost as much as GPL did in its heyday. Kudos to the Simbim development team; I'll certainly be contributing to their server cost fund Now if someone would take GTR2002 and turn it into "LeMans -1948 to present" with all the different configurations of the track and all the cars that participated throughout the years :) David

Hiya Commish :) Still slowly running around the tracks here. I still read the MARA newsgroup and glad to see you guys are keeping the flame alive. Any chance you or the others are up for a little GTR multiplayer? Dave "EdwardC" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:dAvI9.304664$[email hidden]...

Too excellent! Thanks for the link! David

Just to let you know that SBDT is actively working on patch for that prob. And I'm actively testing it. Almost there, after the second version, i will see the menus the way they should even in 120 dpi. I guess Daz will have finished it this week, not sure if they'll distribute it right away though. There are work arounds and some other things worth doing a patch for in the works. =[O-)] D.
