If my bank accounts plays ball I'll be there! Zandvoort would be great, but I really enjoyed Brands Hatch last year as well. Not quite sure how far Oulton and Silverstone are from here, I'll have a look.

Haha best excuse ever, Lego Batman is awesome! Looking forward to the movie!

I would also include the Chaparral in the 1966 CA Pro list . It has a smaller engine and only two gears but it's on rails in the corners .

Yes the Lola Ford 305 is probably one of the easier cars to drive, but is also one of the fastest. The Lola Ford 427 is slow because it is heavy and has only two gears.

Thanks for posting Tony, the preview looks promising!

Well, I did a 36 fps race with oAo a couple of months ago and it was fine .

The pitboard pops up pretty late at Bugatti. I tried it for the first time in the qualifying session and was glad I did .

Freeze...

Race was fun. I was on a 3 stopper but Tristan could keep up and take the lead from me! Great racing. I'd done two out of three stops when the computer stopped working.

I'm torn between racing in this league or another one. I really like the racing here but my PC just can't handle 60 fps . I'm tired of all the freezes.

But the race was fun while it lasted. Thanks for racing!

Here's another mirror. I think I got this file in the RSC days, it has AI minmax.lp and track.ini updates, and includes the update by Klas from GPL Today in seperate folders included in the download.

Thank you for the mirror Jani 

Boring boring boring  . Boring car, boring track, boring opponents ramming each other and me off the track...

I feel like a caged animal in the Porsche. Add to that that this track is so wide with long corners, I'm just waiting to get on the throttle. Plus the frame rate problems with the Porsche are driving me mad, especially as this track is hard on fps. There is also no real way to cleanly get past someone, it has to be a banzai move in good faith.

I don't think I've ever parked it before, but after numerous failed attempts to go faster than the car or track would allow, I decided to call it a day.

GPL is about high power, low grip and crazy tracks. Tonight's event was all GPL was never meant to be. I felt like I was stuck on a huge slotcar track.

I'm glad I joined GPLRacer @ Solitude in the snow, now THAT's a real track 

As a christmas present for you, Santa has painted all his Brabham BT11's red so it's easier for him to recognise who's on his team!



Backing up your brabham folder is advised

Download: http://www.gpldownloads.net/GPL_TvO/UKGPL_Santa_Brabham_65_TvO_241216.zip

Place the downloaded files inside a working brabham folder.

Pascal Celton made the original textures, I just made them red. So all credit to him .

I've used a wider FOV since I switched from 4:3 to 16:9. The 16:9 aspect ratio crops the top and bottom part off from the 4:3 aspect ratio. I wanted those bits back, also because I couldn't see the mirrors anymore in the 1967 Brabham. With the wider Field Of View I have the original view as it was in the 4:3 days, plus some added bits on both sides of the screen .

I use 98° FOV for all mods including the original 1967 F1's, except the Sportscars and 1971 Can-Am's.

Technical babble for those so inclined:

Original GPL, and all open-wheel mods, have for each car inside the 3do a single positioner that tells the .exe both where the viewpoint is from inside the cockpit, and where to place the head of the driver in outside views. In other words, the viewpoint is an exact match with the position of the head. The Sportscars and 1971 Can-Am's have an extra positioner inside their car 3do's, which enables the cockpit viewpoint to be different from the location of the head of the driver. They have then placed the viewpoint further back whilst keeping the location of the driver's head the same. I think this was done to show more of the very nice interior of the cars on screen. However, it causes problems like floating driver arms in cockpit view, cockpit 3d structure cutoff visible in left/right views, and simply being too far back from the steering wheel to get a feel for the car. So I use the default 78° FOV for these mods.

Anyway, hope the lower virtual mirrors help for those using 78° FOV.

Happy holidays to everyone!

Tommie.

P.S. They are also at the site now: http://www.grandprixlegends.co.nf/tvo/ca66/ca66_virt_mirr.html .

I use something similar to Cookie, a 98 degree field of view for me. I'd recommend a wider FOV, but to each his own . The lower virtual mirrors work with the default 78 degrees anyway .

Here are some lower mirrors: http://www.gpldownloads.net/CA66/TvO_CA66_virtual_mirrors_lower.zip

Hope they work for you .

I feel like today haha! We had a workout including 100 burpees and 30 pushups, as well as a 3 mile run . After that the Interlagos race of course, for good measure
