Legends > from its little throne". I hope so. I'm part of the "I love GPL but really look forward to something better" crowd. The only racing games I have loaded right now are GPL, SCGT, and NFSPU, and I'd love to find something else that'll occupy my time. Besides, maybe then you lot will be distracted enough that I can claw my way up a bit higher on GPLRank. :)

Yo! I never did care for F1 games before. Rallying and touring cars was my thing. Rallying is hotlapping, touring cars are close combat. In GPL I found both. Bye, bye, social life. Then I discovered Vroc. Bye, bye, the rest of my life. Damned, what a game! My phone bill has rocketed. The last one was at in excess of 4000 nkr, or nearly �400 or $500.You know what? It is worth it. Huge fun. Trouble is: I get annoyed when the phone rings, or there is someone knocking at my door. That is a warning sign: I'm addicted. My father died recently. What did a do? I cried a few tears. Then, the same day, I downloaded Imola. Great fun. The expectations for RC2000, F12000, GP3 has been sky high. None of them has threatened GPL as the sim of my choice. WSC will probably be no threat, either. Is there anything to improve in GPL? Weather, graphics and options. That's all. Will there ever be a company that will provide GPL physichs with up-to-date weather, graphics and options? No. No responsible company will invest huge amounts of money to develop a game that less than 10.000 people will appreciate. You know what? I'm happy about it. That way the GPL community will live for sevral years to come. GPL needs a re-launch. Bundle it with LWFF, MSFF or any other FF wheel, along with the D3D patch and 1.2 patch as soon as possible. The game deserves a wider audience. Bundling will provide that. This posting was written in gratitude for the developers of GPL, and for people lik Dave Noonan and others that produces add-ons.

My experience is that you don't act completely rational in that kind of situation, and some things you say may very well sound terrible. Hmm, to heavy for ras maybe. _ Mats Lofkvist [email hidden]

I know, but Bruce K hasn't been around in a while and I needed to get a cheap shot in at someone...:-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com

But in this case I think it might just have been a poor turn of phrase. At times of grief finding something to take you completely away from the situation is hardly rare... many turn to drink. While I'm fortunate not to have lost a parent yet, there have been several occasions in the last few years where I've turned to GPL to occupy my mind completely and stop me disappearing up my own mental ass. A therapist might be more sensible in the long term, but GPL's cheaper ;-) Andrew McP

Andrew if ever the chance arises I would like to buy you several or more drinks. If you promise to teach me where you come up with this stuff....I have been reading your stuff from Flanker on and its getting even funnier... "disappearing up my own mental ass"....shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit...impressive. PAPA DOC

Yup Solitude is mindblowing........so is Goodwood....so is Road Atlanta....so is Imola...geez..I spent the money to refurbish my Joystick collection (FLCS big bucks/CH Pro Throttle) and I havent even programmed either one cause I havent been playing Flight sims...only EECH has a chance of competing against the brilliance of GPL. The following people have a free bar tab should I ever meet them.. The entire team of GPL Alison Hine Nate Hine Dave Noonan The Entire GPLEA crew team and several others that I would slap my head and buy them drinks if they were introduced.....sorry for the name slippage... Amazing....2 years and it doesnt look like its getting anything but even better. Thereby reaffirming my long held belief that Grand Prix Legends stands head and shoulders above any other simulation in any other genre much less just Auto's....Goddamn Brilliant.

I have to agree- EECH has been my non-GPL sim of choice lately.
