The GPLPS GPL Installer is Released
In my opinion, Bernd Nowak of the GPLPS has just released a program
that, at least in this stage of GPL's lifespan, may be one of the greatest programs created for GPL. Even the experienced GPLer among us has at one point or another struggled with a new GPL installation. And this is not to mention the problems that newbies to GPL experience. And you'll occasionally read comments from long-time GPLers that are having problems with GPL on newer pc's/platforms. The answer to all of these questions is the GPLPS GPL installer. It will give you a working GPL installation, with updated GPLEA cars and some of the finest track updates around for the original GPL venues. You can read more about it he http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=288457 If you've been struggling with a GPL installation, your answer is at hand... Fletch |

I hadn't loaded GPL on my new(ish) PC as I thought it was just an old antiquated game now. Gee, was I wrong. The cars, sounds, and tracks have had a real good make over and has breathed some more life into this 1998 game. It's still really hard to play and control, especially seeing as I have to use the keyboard as all my input devices use the old game port which Microsoft and no one else wants to support any more (sorry, I had to whinge to someone). The answers.com site gives a good explanation of how GPL has changed over the years with the relevant links: http://www.answers.com/topic/grand-prix-legends I haven't tried installing any of the mods or other tracks yet, but some of them sound pretty cool (like the thundercars). Thanks for the easy installer Bernd, Mike T. |

I found and installed a new sound card (Turtle Beach) with a game port, so my TSW wheel and pedals are usable. I have Windows XP; don't know about Vista. For a while I kept using the mother board's built in sound, but on the advice of others, to the effect that the sound would be better and using the card would free up resources on the mother board, I disabled the MB and now use the Turtle Beach for both sound and the TSW. The new tracks are great. I especially like the 10 km Monza track, which includes the oval used for a few years prior to 1967 and featured in the movie Grand Prix. Bill Yowell |

After years of driving. But the difference for me is that I needed a lot of time to get comfortable with GPL and now I can at least race which adds a maximum amount of fun and a big smile Bernd |
