Hey all...

Another new boy!!

I'm Andy, raced GPL years back (badly) with the Legends League and remember some good times!! New pc, more importantly a new wheel and pedals.

Would like to join and run in some fun races to start and then crack on from there...

Would also appreciate some help and advice getting GPL to the League requirements and working out ffb settings for my wheel...

Cheers all

Andy

.... working out ffb settings for my wheel...

Welcome Andy.  FFB settings are a very personal thing, everyone has their own preferences and you probably won't get two people with exactly the same settings.  Also regardless of personal preferences each wheel is completely different.  I can only give you advice on the wheel I use, the Logitech G25.  Apart from the very expensive specialist products, the G25 (and it's sister product the G27) is the best wheel on the market IMO.

Thanks Both!!

Also was wondering what i need to do to get my GPL to be compatible with UKGPL servers??

I have the 04 Demo AND the original disk... I see some say use the demo and copy in tracks etc

Some say use the installer and the original disk.. What would you recommend??

Also what add ons like the 60fps patch do you require??

Cheers

Use the all-in-one wonder installer thingy and the original disk Smiley

We aren't yet using the 60fps for league races but are toying with it in fun races.. as for which extra mods you want to play, well thats entirely up to you - as a new driver probably best to start with the 1965 mod and come play with me in the "novices" division Smiley

Andy,

You can get all the stuff you need here

The installer is here

Install at least the 1967 and 1965 mods. The F2 mod is here and is not yet listed on the track database site.

The installer guide is a bit out of date if you use the 1.04 beta installer (and you should) but it is useful. You can find that one here

Let me know if you have any issues.

Cheers,

P.

Andy

I suggest you use the installer as Badblood suggests.  It will install everything you need to patch your original disk up to the standard you need for UKGPL.  In fact it is the only way I could install GPL under Vista (Vista simply refused to install GPL from the original disk).

Once you have installed the basics, the 65, 66, 67 update, 69, 69x, GT and F2 mods can all be loaded as required.

Cheers

Phil

By the way my real name is Paul which is why I sign off as P. Habit. I'll answer to Paul, BB, Badblood, P - whatever...

We have a fun race tomorrow and we meet up in iGOR in the 'ukgpl' chatroom. If you don't know how to use that, just shout.

Most grateful fellas thanks!!

Will give that a bash... Not about 2moro, away till Saturday but will get things sorted and hop in a race soon!!

I raced a good few years back with the Legends League, usually trundling around the very back of the grid... Hoping I have dug up some more motivation and patience since I last raced!!

Catch up soon

Hallo Andreas,
welcome at UKGPL!

We race the series listed on the UKGPL.COM page

The 65s are divided in 3 classes of skill: professionals, intermediates and novices (S23Pro, S23Int, S23Nov)

The 66s race in the Historics series

You find the info of all series if you click on the Series on the top of this page e.g. S23His for the 66s.

To join a series you have to go to the UKGPL Announcements, select the series registration thread and vote in the poll!

If there are any questions left, PM me or any other moderator Wink

Hi All
Registered for the 65 novice class and looking forward to first race on the 11th but have no idea how to meet up in the chat room before the race.
Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers to all

Sorry Boggy - we use the chatroom #ukgpl and we normally use iGOR (although the WinVROC chat will work just as well). You can join races from iGOR just by double clicking on the race whereas if you use WinVROC you have to join via IP address (which is a pain). See you in there tomorrow.

There will be a practice server up from tonight.
