Altitude in GPL

5 posts by 4 people · 12 Apr 1999 - 15 Apr 1999

Can anyone tell me why the altitude in GPL is set to zero in all the track.ini files. Does this mean that in the game Kyalami and Mexico are the same altitude as Monte Carlo? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- Their spirit today is dead, men say - Dead as their stalwart frames - Their *** now runs in idler sons, Loving less manly games. Can this be truth? Arise, our Youth, Rise in your strength, and show By word and by deed Ye are worthy seed Of your Sires who drew the bow. GPL - Live the Legend! ICQ 11583579

Maybe that's Renault turbo, or possibly McLaren-Honda or -Porsche ? I don't think Alain Prost (or, "Al," as David Hobbs used to say) ever drove a Ferrari turbo, unless it was some one-off fun thing.
Nope, you're dead right I was reading off the wrong column. Prost and Arnoux in the Renault turbo and Peroni and Villeneuve (G) in the Ferrari turbo. Thanks for catching that one. Matthew.
