For some reason i missed all this GPL fun  Roll Eyes,   ive downloaded the demo numerous times but can never set up the controller ??    Whats the correct way to set it up.

Does it make any difference buying and installing the full sim?  I'm running Vista 64 if it makes any difference.

Cheers

Hello Dan,

You can get the CD for £5 now (if not less) via amazon and various other outlets, so well worth buying.  I'm not sure if the demo has any controller restriciton on it, but I would think not.

What controller are you using?

Providing it is calibrated within Windows the controller should work, once calibrated via the options menu in GPL.  My wheel is set to direct, not generic as is most others I believe.  I use Vista 64 and everything work as it should with GPL.

Good luck, hope to see you on track sometime.

Hi Dan welcome to the centre of the ( racing) universe. UKGPL   Roll Eyes

I guess that by "controller" you mean "installer"? which is mentioned earlier in this post.


I believe that for this to work effectively and correctly you need a GPL game disc. It is usually available for about £5 on ebay , so is well worth the investment.

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1311&_nkw=grand+prix+legends&_sacat=See-All-Categories


Then, you just download the installer... and insert the disc when asked for it and the magic happens all on its own....honest  Roll Eyes


There are a few updates and whizzy bits that will enhance your enjoyment and there is endless help and advive available here to guide you through that.

Hi guys,
I have done all the installation steps, but when I go to a race event I only see the left up side quarter
of the screen properly.  Roll Eyes The other 3/4 are in black.
Any help?
Cheers

There are two solutions.

1.  The line in the core.ini:
    [ Direct3D7 ]
    DirectMirrorRendering = 1
    Change it to
    DirectMirrorRendering = 0

This taken from the GPL FAQ at the Mirror Zone, a very useful source of information. Keep this link in your bookmarks.

http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=3714

2. I think maybe using the updated rasterisers might also fix that problem. Get them here.

http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=3727

They are virtually essential for any up to date gfx card.

It's working fine now.  Smiley
However, the 65 mod isn't working. Will try to find another site where I can d/l it.
66 and 69 mods are working also.  Smiley

It seems that all links I found in google aren't working for 65 MOD.
I have the option of the mod in GEM+2, can select it but the picture of a previous car doens't change
on the right side of the GEM cars display. Even with the mod selected I run the game, but when
I click on the green tab to go to track I get a CTD.
Btw, the engine sounds are horrible. Is that the way they are?  Shocked

Link for 65mod:

http://download.bcsims.com//gpl/fp.gplegends.plus/65/65modv2.htm

Sound can be troublesome. What are your system specs and OS?

Most sound problems can be fixed by reducing the hardware acceleration to basic. This can be found in dxdiag (run>dxdiag). Then under sound tab reduce the hardware acceleration to basic.

I re downloaded 65 MOD and carset.
Have done exactly as the instructions and pictures in the site of the link you gave me,
I can select 'FULL65' at the options, but I still can't select the 65 'carset' because it isn't there
to chose from and activate. I know I'm missing or doing something wrong for sure.
Still, I have followed all the steps... Undecided
