Thanks ASCII Man, just wondering, and i know this is off thread, how good a game is F1C, and how good is the 76 mod?

ASCII Man · 22 Jan 2006, 17:14 (Ref:1506788)

F1C is probably the best current F1 game around.
Haven't tried out the '76 mod, but I've heard it's from the same guys that did the Turbomod, and they're quite good at it.

Nobody has mentioned the new Alternative GPL Track Database. You'll find that it is up to date as well. You can get it from here: http://gpltd.bcsims.com/

hm ta. the only things i've downloaded so far is tracks - cadwell and combe.

dangermouse · 26 Jan 2006, 00:40 (Ref:1509182)

There's a whole world full of tracks out there that are just wonderful. Try some more out

How do you make drivers better at individual tracks. Its annoying because I made everyone a little better and have great races at all the standard tracks but at all the downloaded ones, in particular the British ones, they just throw it off the road or drive around 20 seconds off the pace.

Suze · 26 Jan 2006, 16:57 (Ref:1509540)

yes...but surely it's not all their fault?! you should have some control....

Okay, I've got the update to ver 1.2.0.1, but I have a slightly annoying problem.

Sometimes I can go thru a whole season okay but other times, I can get part way into a race and GPL will stop and an error message appears saying "GPL has encountered a problem and needs to close".

Anyone got any ideas what's causing this to happen and any cures?

carsreunited · 1 Mar 2006, 08:46 (Ref:1533742)

What does the error code say when you click the box that says, 'more info' or similar?

Probably a graphics driver problem as I was having the same issue and downloaded the latest nvidia driver update which solved it.

When is the release date..?

pirenzo · 4 Apr 2006, 08:11 (Ref:1569846)

There probably isn't a fixed date

There very, very rarely is for GPL addons. The guys just work at their own pace, and it's ready when it's ready.

I think it'll be after the next installment of the '69 mod, which is planned for the next month or two.

I would reset whatever adjustments you have made, and instead alter each track individually.

In each track folder (usually C:\Sierra\gpl\tracks\<trackname>) there is a configuration file called 'track' (track.ini). Open it in notepad and find the line 'dlong_speed_adj_coeff' e.g. dlong_speed_adj_coeff = 1.112500

Higher numbers makes them faster. Change only in very small increments. i.e. go in steps of 0.005 or there abouts. If they're way off the pace you might increase it by as much as 0.05, and then adjust from there...

Alternatively, in GEM+2 you can change the AI speed, but confusingly smaller numbers is faster. In this case 0.98 is faster than 1.00 is faster than 1.02.

Suze · 4 Apr 2006, 09:25 (Ref:1569898)

Ah thanks pirenzo, I haven't even downloaded the basic thundercars yet mind...

dangermouse · 4 Apr 2006, 09:30 (Ref:1569903)

Just to let you guys know, there is a new mod for GPL. It's a Night MOd and there are lights on the cars. Have a look HERE for some piccies.

sbart_uk · 5 Apr 2006, 23:14 (Ref:1571827)

hi yep there isn't a set release date but i'm guessing it wont be long after the next part of the 69 mod
