I don't know if it's been said before, but I"ll definetly say it. A VERY BIG THANKS!! goes out to Alison Hine, Dave Noonan, the folks at GPLEA/GPLSF, and the myriad of other people out there (whom I apologize for not listing directly) who spend a great deal of their time and effort to provide us (the basic end user) with a multitude of cars, set-ups, tracks and many other "tweaks". I for one DEFINETLY APPRECIATE it 100%!!!!!!!! You guys have made a great game even so much better. In fact, it's because of you folks that something as fantastic as GPL gets EVEN BETTER with age!!!!!!!!!!! Yours Truly, The Regular Racer.......

Can I add my own thank you to Riccardo Nunnini for his set-ups and Uwe Sch�rkamp (et al?) for the wonderful GPLRank, and an honourable mention for the many contributors (wise, amusing, and others) to this ng for their continuous stream of help. Tony Whitley Now if you don't mind I'd like to get back to Solitude. Or shall I do some work today?

I was just about to post a message like this myself...and it is NOT off topic!!!!! I realised last night after I installed the latest GPLSF Eagle cockpit that it is very difficult to find anything in my GPL installation that is still original! The guts are still 100% Papy, but just about every detail has been IMPROVED upon in subtle and not so subtle ways by the dedicated and talented fans here amongst us lucky r.a.s. contributors. Alison Hine/GRE - based set-ups Track graphics new engine sounds cockpits and dashes from GPLEA and GPLSF new tracks from Noonan and GPLEA about a zillion tweaking tips for FFB steering settings, graphics settings, sound settings, etc. I can't even imagine playing GPL out of the box!

Thanks guys, It's kinda funny...when we started this it was just for our own enjoyment, but that only goes so far and soon enough you want to "spread the joy around"......sure it's work but I couldn't imagine keeping something like the work we do to myself and not sharing it with everyone. Cheers and thanks again! KD - GPLSF "Olav K. Malmin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
