So, I'm looking to get back into GPL online...
Several years ago, I raced online quite a bit, but then real life
intruded. I want to get back into it now. Where? A lot of the links I'm finding are dead, so I need current links to addons, active league(s) preferably with handicaps, etc... Also, how fast to I need to be in order to be competitive? I'm racing F2 right now, and my GPLrank is +389 :-( |

Try http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/LoPeN_Racers/
Very casual racing and a wide range in skill level. Also try the GPL forum at http://srmz.net . Very active with GPL stuff and links for most of the files and patches. Also check the "Hey anyone need racer" section for leagues looking for drivers ralphy wrote: > Several years ago, I raced online quite a bit, but then real life > intruded.

Does GPL run under Vista 64 and D3D or do you need to run a Glide
Wrapper to get the most out of it (assuming it runs)? Is there a site around with a step by step FAQ of what you need to do?

A step by step for installing GPL can be found at:
http://adc.speedgeezers.net/pages/gp...m-and-igor.php Or take the easy route and use the GPL installer: http://gplps.org/wb/pages/projects/gpl-installer.php Not sure about Vista 64 but it runs very well with modern video cards using D3D and opengl.

I've had GPL up to 1152x864 under OpenGL, max detail, with no problems. D3D causes some odd video problems for me, only updates 1/4 of the screen. Only other bug I've noticed is that sometimes GPL doesn't seem to initialize the controller properly. A restart usually fixes that, especially if I close some open apps while I'm at it. YMMV, HTH, HAND |

Thanks, grabbed the complete installer, the Speedgeezer sites seem to
be gone. I have an ATI 4870 1GB and Intel running at 3.6Gz. I believe ATI will do well with OGL but this will be the 1st thing i've ever tried..

You get a display of the list of races found with the practice time remaining, number of entrants etc. http://gem.ebi-service.de/igorhosting6steps.html A picture under step 2. |

So, I'm looking to get back into GPL online...
Installed it fresh off the CD using the Full Installer, then installed
the latest GEM+. Trying to start GPL all I get is a messed up 640x480 screen (it's actually two screens over the top of each other and an arrow cursor that moves but doesn't do anything. Only way out is Task Manager. Tried running the rasterizer app but makes no difference (OGL or D3D), tried running GPL Setup Manager but Runtime Error 380, Invalid Property Value error. Tried running as an XP aopp, no difference, tried different settings in properties, no different. Can't get in to set resolution or anything else, maybe i'll start looking at ini files.. >On Sun, 07 Feb 2010 13:20:54 GMT, Ken MacKay > wrote: >Try http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/LoPeN_Racers/ > >Very casual racing and a wide range in skill level. > >Also try the GPL forum at http://srmz.net .
