While I'm at it,
I was wanting to download some new tracks, mainly Mid Ohio. Where can I find it and once I do, how do I get it so that I can race on it.


Thanks again,

Neuz

Search for the track on RSC. Download it like any other file. Then just read the readme. But if you're new to GPL, first learn how to drive on the original tracks. Enjoy.

Hi neuz,
Here are a couple sites that have most of the addons you will ever need for GPL.

Track Database?

GPL++The Addons

They come with readme files and are very straight forward to follow. In a nutshell, dl the track you want, unzip to a folder and run the "Trackinstall.exe " program.

There is also a very nice utility for GPL called GEM+. Get it here.

HAve fun! :wave:

If you're looking for Mid-Ohio, at http://trackdb.d2g.com/ you'll see that it says "You need the ICR2/CART game and also need to buy the full converter (i2n2gpl.exe) "

You have to purchase a converter utility from D. Noonan (15 Pounds UK) which allows you to take it off of a ICR2 (IndyCar Racing 2 - very old game) in a format that allows it to be used in GPL. To do all this, just follow the "Get track" link at the track list site, however, you have to try to find a copy of ICR2 first.
