Shouldn't this be required reading? I'll probably miss one or two but here goes Nurburgring Spa Zandvoort Monaco Monza Rouen Silverstone The South African Track(zandy is blocking the name)Oh! Kyalami Mexico Mosport Watkins Glen You can find this info by defining a search for Papyrus only tracks at the wonder GPL track database. Magnus' site is one EVERY GPLer should have bookmarked. http://trackdb.d2g.com/ dave henrie
Thanks so much Dave! Been a long time since I went to school! I do not have GPL, but after seeing the available tracks I think I go a d/l the GPL 2004 Demo. Again, thanks! "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I can also throw in a backup of my GPL directory, including most all of those juicy tracks. That should save you half a day of downloading and installing. -Greg

Hi You can�t install the original tracks in the demo. I tried it and it failed. The download of the original tracks are only updates. I have only the N�rburg Ring 84, Hockenheim 67, the new Monza 10k as a download. Only the original Watkins Glen track is in the demo04. I downloaded the enhanced Monaco track, but could not install it. The game needs the orig. dat file of each track to install an update.

You can 'patch' a full install of gpl by pasting the 2004 demo over it I believe, although I've never tried it myself & you may have issues with some of the ini files. You certainly can paste a full (updated) install over either the demo or a full basic install to quickly get all the graphics updates, and if you copy the original track folders from a full gpl install into the demo they should work fine too. The original gpl tracks are not freely available for download (as you say, the original dat file basically), but if you have the dat files anyway (as you will if you buy gpl) you will be able to use them with your demo install if you don't want to go to the trouble of re-installing everything. Just update the season.ini etc manually. Malc.

No, that wasn't my intent. I have several retail copies of GPL (non-demo!), and was offering to send him one (they're somewhat hard to find, AFAIK) -Greg
Thanks so much Greg. Please send me an e-mail with your e-mail addy and we will discuss. The only issue I have is the known SB Live sound problem. I have found it I reset the car about 1/2 throttle it clears up. Thanks to all who have replied. This is one great sim and can't believe I have let it slip through for so long.

It'll work as is, you don't have to install GPL from the CD first. -- - Jussi Koukku -
