Home made Racing sim - Update.

Ashley McConnell has just sent us part 2 of his ongoing article tracking the progress of his home made simulation. The car is now on a track. Here: www.simbin.com If anyone can help with feedback and bug testing, it's very much appreciated. Happy Racing! Ian

The Demo is a little behind the screenshots, I will hopefully upload a new version some time this weekend. Does anyone know an updated email address for Bobonen? All the best, Ash http://www.siroccoracing.com Ian Bell wrote:

Since I'm running DirectX 7.something, are there any issues upgrading to version 8? I seem to recall some people having problems with it and GPL... cheers.

I'm sure some people have had problems, but not me: AMD 1.3, GF2 Ultra, latest drivers. GPL has worked fine for me with every revision of DX that has come out so far (crosses fingers).

Make sure you got the official, released version off the Microsoft site: http://www.microsoft.com/directx/ Some folks have downloaded developer versions, etc., and seem to have posted them as 8.1a or something. They don't really exist, aren't for our use and will mess with your game play. -- Chris H.
