big Hello from Wigan England 

[Iestyn Davies]

Welcome Frank! Ahhh, I remember the first HSO race at Kyalami! In such a fast field, I managed to get into a good race position in the Cooper (5th or so?), before succumbing to pressure and spinning out at T1 ! Good times

[Frank Verplanken]

Thanks for the welcome guys Yes Robert, Flemish ancestry indeed but that goes back five generations. I've never even been in Belgium myself nor do I speak a word of Dutch   .

Hehe Iestyn those were the days indeed ! Did you get the 2009 HSO GPL Yearbook back then (you're probably better off going the "right click & save as" way as it's a big .pdf file ) ?

[Philippe Girard]

Hi guys 
I participated in the championship for a while. I would like to come back to you.
My name is Philippe, I'm "Frenchy". I'm not very fast, but I love gpl  !!

Hello again.

Long time no see.

Is there an up to date install guide to get up and running on Windows 7?

[Billy Nobrakes]

Hi Mike,
Been a while.

I bought a new PC a bout two years back & I'm fairly sure it runs Windows 7. Was just a case of copying the files across & a reinstall.

Not a great deal has changed here, other than running 60 frames per second.

Look forward to seeing you back on track.

Hi Mike

Nice to see you  

There is no problem running GPL on W7 64/32.
Just copy your old GPL installed folder to the HDD or SSD.

Only GEM+ 2.5.32 has to be installed and linked to the GPL folder

Welcome back (at the beginning of this year I had my comeback & I have not been able to get rid of the GPL again)  
 ...I hope you are less formidable on the track than your profile Picture  

There is no problem running GPL on W7 64/32.
Just copy your old GPL installed folder to the HDD or SSD.

...or Win 8, 8.1 & 10
If I were you, start on a fresh install of the GPL, the latest: GPL Install 1.07 beta
...afterwards, copy your old profile into your GPL install.
Download the new Spa 67, if it works...everything Works  

Little more help here

Hi Mike,
Been a while.

it's certainly been that. A lot of changes round here since my last visit.

Not a great deal has changed here, other than running 60 frames per second.

Does everybody run that in all mods?

Look forward to seeing you back on track.

Yep, just look in your mirrors, I'll be there. Hehe.

Hi Mike

Nice to see you   

Thanks, you too. I actually missed the place.

SSD? I though nothing had changed round here. Haha!

OK, I'll have to refresh my memory on iGOR and all that wonderful stuff as well as keeping it pointed in the right direction.

I might find myself in the same position.

...afterwards, copy your old profile into your GPL install.

OK Thanks.

Not sure I ever ran 60fps. have to look how that all works too.

Better install my new wheel and pedals too then..........

Yes Mike UKGPL runs all mods with 60 fps now

The patches are stored at UKGPL_3
those .xml files are to be put in the GEM/options folder so you will see them in GEM+

We use the
- 60fpsV2newmod for 67, 66, 65 and CanAm71 mods
- 60fpsV1 for Sport Cars and 69Xtra mods

Just ask if any questions arise

Haha! Yes, mine is quite understated.

[Ronnie Nilsson]

Welcome back.  I've just rejoined after a 10-year absence from GPL!    I wasn't that good before, and I'm no better now!

[Phil Thornton]

Hello again.

Long time no see

Hi Mike
Great to see you back.  It is the same but better :-)
Hope to see you on the track.  I'm no faster, in fact I'm probably slower LOL.
Cheers
Phil
