I signed up for this series today as a reserve but have a problem with the GT mirrors. They seem to be showing part of the cars bodywork. I've tried the virtual mirrors and they are the same. Has anyone seen this before?

The race details above are for Hockenheim not Albi.

I thought I was cutting it fine but not compared to Paul. My new wheel arrived yesterday and I got it working in time to do about 40 laps practice. At East London I was pleasantly surprised to find I could run 0.5s/lap faster than last time out. I think that was a flash in the pan. Here I was almost 2s/lap slower than before. I went into the race intending to drive to survive. I didn't expect to be racing anyone.

I went up the hill on lap 1 in 7th and rose to 4th due the misfortunes of others until I had an altercation with Bernie. Going into St Devote side by side was always going end in tears and in this instance they were entirely mine. While Bernie motored on unscathed I span into the barrier and had to sit there while the entire field went by. It was only five cars but it seemed like twice as many at the time. I was at the back for most of the race but it was far from boring. I chased Philippe for a few laps and then span as soon as I caught him. When I caught him again he had Kai for company but I lost touch with them making it easy for Dave and Walter to lap me. I wasn't so good at letting them re-lap me though. Old and confused is my only excuse. I was rather tardy letting Walter by and when I did came soooo close to taking out Dave.

Congratulations Walter, Dave and Rog( a podium from the back of the grid ).

If you're interested this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKb9FixAFjw is coverage of the 1965 Monaco Grand Prix. 37 minutes in is one minute before the start. I think the whole start procedure is hilarious. Younger people would probably be appalled by it. The starter was at more risk then than the drivers are today.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Logitec software. The results were different but it still didn't work so I bit the bullet and bought a G27 from PCWorld for £170. When I got it home I discovered that it's got a gaming port  connector rather than a USB. It that why it's cheap?

My PC doesn't have a gaming port but I could easily install one. Would it be technically inferior to a USB connector? My old F1Sim wheel used a gaming port and the G25 didn't make me quicker. I don't want the hassle of taking it back ( a long bus ride ) if I don't have to.

Thanks Jethro.

I don't use specific game settings either. I don't believe that the number pedal axes or the number degrees of wheel rotation can be set within GPL. The combined box isn't ticked but I only get single axis in GPL. The wheel rotation is set to 200 degrees and I can't change it. 200 degrees is what I get in GPL.

All I'd done since last successfully using the wheel was disconnect and reconnect it. Nothing was altered.

Thanks for replying Axel.

The "allow game to adjust settings" box is checked. The thing is that I couldn't uncheck it even if I wanted to. No changes I make on the settings page can be applied. The "combined" box is not checked but GPL behaves as if it is.

I've got a horrible feeling that this is terminal 

No changes I make on the settings page take effect. Force feedback has been turned off ( not by me ). When I try and turn it back on the "apply" button is never usable.

On the properties page the brake and throttle pedals work as if they are on separate axes.

When checking that buttons work on the properties page should the wheel move jerkily?

Sorry. I should have expressed myself better.

I've looked at the game controller setting and that box is not checked. It used to worked properly and I've changed no settings.

When calibrating my G25 in GPL the throttle and brake have always been allocated to axis 2 and axis 3 respectively. Now both are allocated to axis 1 as though I have single axis pedals. When I calibrate the throttle both the axis 1 and axis 2 sliders both move and BRAKE appears alongside axis 1. When I calibrate the brake axis 1 and axis 3 sliders both move and THROTTLE BRAKE appears alongside axis 1. I've checked the settings and the single axis checkbox is not checked.

Can anyone help? I can't post on SRMZ.

I'm registered as a reserve in three divisions but this is the only one where it's an issue. What's the procedure for reserves joining a race?

I can't make tonight. Arthritis in the hand. It lasts no more than 36 hours. It doesn't happen very often. It's only happened twice this year. Both on race nights. Sigh. I've named this condition Freeloaders Hand because it makes putting my hand in my pocket excruciatingly painful.

Thank you Clive. Good to see you doing so well in UKPnG. You're an inspiration to me. 

I returned to simracing expecting to be slower but after two hours practice I was running 0.5s/lap faster than last time out at East London six years ago. It's probably just this mod and this track but if I can maintain this rate of improvement I should be running at the front by the time I'm ninety.

Thank you both.

I can't download from SRMZ. Will stardust be available on ukgpl3?

Yes. I'm Steve Peake. This was the first race of my second UKGPL comeback. My first comeback lasted eight races before I was invalided out of Season 23. I only set my wheel up for the first time since then a couple of weeks ago and I could only drive for fifteen minutes before back ache set in. I signed up as a reserve because I didn't think I'd be able to last a race length. I was wrong 

I was amazed to qualify second. It was false position but I made a terrible start anyway and three people went by before T1 where I repeated the same stupid mistake I made in my very first race with three pedals and used the clutch as a brake. Fortunately this time I didn't take anyone else out with me. I enjoyed the rest of the race. I had several spins but was always racing someone. Apologies to Rog if I hit you. All I can tell from the replay is that it was very close but no harm was done.

Congratulations to Kai on your first UKGPL win. And to Billy and Bernie. Commiserations to Walter. I hope to see you all at Monaco.

Both files available here http://ftp://ukgpl3.dyndns.org/Mods/1966/

1.1 is not a patch but the 66 Mod installation exe file. I don't know whether it's necessary to run it but I've no idea what the V2.0 patch does and thought it best to start with with unpatched files.

The 66 mod and 66fpsv2newmod

I was one of those who could only run the 66 mod with 60fpsv1. This is how I fixed it. There's no need to uninstall anything

Run "gpl1966complete_1.1"
Delete the "gpl66" folder from gpl\Mods\GEM+
Run "1966mod_PATCH_v2.0_Setup"
Delete "gplc66.exe" from the gpl folder
Run GEM+, select 66 mod and 60fpsv2newmod

It worked for me. I hope it works for you.
