GPL: what has happened lately.

Hi, Due to server trouble, I haven't been able to read this NG for a while. I was wondering what are the new developments in editing GPL tracks and cars since the beginning of this year. Greetings, Han Monsees

It's a brave new world in GPLville... Let's see, hum 1. there is a couple of sound packs available through "The Pits" or "Eagle Woman's" sites. 2. there is a rockin track converter available from "The Pits" so we may run some ICR2/N2 tracks in GPL. 3. there is a "new" track available from "The Pits" called Dubai. 4. You may use a standalone program called "GPL SpyBoy" to race online. See VROC or Eaglewoman's sites for details. 5. there are some real fast cats racin out there. 6. my wife is fed up with me racin all the time. 7. there is a cool mod outthere, it gives us redlined tach's. 8. somebody beat the 8:00 mark at the ring. 9. GPL 1.1 should be here very soon. 10. DOH! brain freeze...cant think of anything else...hey guys, anything else?. . . . .

Hans, Get the new sounds here, awesome! Get the new dash's here, awesome! The track converter here, not as awesome but worth getting. If you need some more links let me know I have over 200 seperate GPL sites bookmarked. JM

anything >else?. . . . . 11. There has been about 200 web sites been created about GPL 12. There has been about 200 posts a day here about it 13. There is a race happening somewhere right at this second 14. I took the lotus for a spin again tonight, just like last night and the night before that 15. Ian Lake won the first World Series 16. I didnt 17. Jack Rambo tried to run 3 long races a day 8 hours apart 7 days a week, I think he went to sleep after 2 months and hasnt woken up yet 18. My wife is fed up with me racin all the time too 19. Everyone is getting fast 20. I know theres heaps more ........ Todd

LOL, Todd! Can I add... 21. Jack Rambo woke up long enough to finish GPaL - "The Essential Companion to GPL" a single screen interface to GPL that will allow everyone to, among other things, do the following. GPaL Features: a. Select Track, Mode, Car, and Driver from fast, easy, familiar dropdown lists. Tired of joining a race only to discover you're driving the wrong car, have the wrong setup, or are using the wrong driver? b. Select car type (F1/2/3) from a dropdown without having to create a new driver and edit an INI file. c. Select grid layouts from a dropdown. d. Select race distances of virtually any length at any level (Novice, Intermediate, Pro) using a slider. e. Select AI strength using a single slider and maintain a history of AI settings for training purposes (by car by track by driver). If you think you're too fast or too slow for the AI, you haven't tried GPaL! f. Select the *range* of speeds of the AI (i.e. infinitely variable between tight and loose) using a slider. Makes for incredible racing and the best training available anywhere if you create a tightly bunched field at your current speed. If this won't teach you to concentrate, nothing will! g. Select a car type for the entire AI field from a dropdown so that you can really test your mettle by having single marque races with the AI. h. Select user-defined graphic settings from a dropdown without having to change to a different driver or make changes to the GPL options screen. i. Select virtually every other option buried across the many, slow GPL screens from a single screen. j. Enjoy all this and more possibly as soon as this weekend. 22. Jack Rambo begins planning a larger-scale, yet more manageable reincarnation of NTT. NTT II anyone? Jack Rambo

Heck, its Rambo II

yeah; his fastest cars are "hot rods"... > 5. there are some real fast cats racin out there. You're really Rusty Wallace, right? NASCAR by day - GPL by night!

You are just plain SCARY, that's what you are. And all the while I was feeling content with finally learning Silverstone and having a semi-normal nightlife again. Now I'm doomed! Maybe if I try winding my Celery up to 600mhz it'll explode and I can escape......... Simply Amazed, Steve B. remove "edy" from address for email

What's happened lately? Garth got pube's! LOL sorry, damn I love that film! Anyway, mostly, GPL has started to take hold of people's being, they cannot let it go, and quite frankly what the hell am I doing here! I'm off to VROC!!! -- Tim "Calm Down" Wheatley ________________________________________________ Tim Wheatley "Yellow menacing helmet in the mirror" http://start.at/igps_stats IGPS - Ferrari Challenge - UKGPL - Summer Cup Driver http://drive.to/grandprixlegends http://website.lineone.net/~nascar ________________________________________________
