Default Anyone still Play GPL?

After a flirt with my Xbox and project Gotham racing, it appears the PC still hold the aces with games playes.

So, does anyone still Play GPL and fancy some online racing?

Personally I prefer the F2 cars on tight UK tracks.

Do you know if GPL can be run on XP?

Yes it can. Took a bit of fiddling, but it was fast and stable, which is more than can be said for my driving on GPL.

Have you tried "Live for Speed?" - quite a good online community...

Right click on the shortcut icon, select properties and then "Compatibility". Try Win98, or win Me, or win 2000. You should hopefully find one of them will allow you to play the game.

Top game by the way. Almost impossible with a joystick, but awesome once you use steering wheel and get to "grips" with slides

I think I used win 2000 as it's a bit slow loading with win95 settings

Next, you need VROC to see all the GPL servers and game players!

Oh and practise, practise and more practise!

You can't crash in to a wall with GPL and still expect to win.

There are some great downloads too, hundreds of tracks, better car skins and sounds etc.
