Hi guys, I have noticed another post looking for hi-res skies for GPL. Someone pointed this person to a very nice sky and horizon for Monza and Spa. Are there anymore skies like this for other original GPL tracks (like Silverstone and Mosport)? Also, what about general track graphic enhancements? Are there any around? Thanks for your help. -- Regards, David Mocnay

Yup, me too (pretty much). I have installed some better dashes (so I can actually read the dials) but that's about it.

Ouch!! That'll make you go blind. <g> -- Fester None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe http://www.hermes-press.com/police_state.htm
Ok Guys ... thanks for those. Though, all those links (and no thumbnails) are very overwhelming and I have no idea what to get ... I don't want to download 'everything'. Can anyone point me to the good ones or point me to somewhere where I can see what these 'enhancements' look like? The place I got the sky/horizon for Monza and Spa has a picture of each and by that I knew that this is something I wanted to download. ps. 'my' GPL has had all the cars enhanced ever since ... it's just the original tracks that are still in their original form. I am very happy with most of them as they are and it's really just the sky/horizon at Silverstone and Mosport that bellow par (come to think of it Mosport does not look that crash hot even though I do love the track). -- Regards, David Mocnay "David Mocnay" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%6Gj9.38546$[email hidden]... > Hi guys, > I have noticed another post looking for hi-res skies for GPL.

Me too...until this weekend. Went looking for better dashes and ended up downloading the JFcarsets and GPLCSM. Everything worked fine, both online and off, no drop in fps (V5 and xp1800). Just made sure that the 2d wheels and 2d helmets were installed for each car. GPLCSM makes it easy to switch swap parts, even back to the original config (or just back up your cars folder). The change in the cockpit views were pretty dramatic. Many thanks to the people that put this stuff together. Didn't improve my laptimes though. ;-( Ken Rob Adams wrote:
