GPL 2004 demo or the original? Did you try the other exe pack from the link above?

How/when does it crash? What kind of sound card do you have? One thing that often works (and it's very sound-card dependent) is to go to control panel -> Sounds and Audio devices -> Audio Tab -> Advanced -> Performance, and turn down the hardware acceleration a notch or two. Many low-end sound cards...

Oh, and rfactor and gpl both have trackir support. rfactor is built in, and GPL needs "gplshift".

Also, for those of you who are interested in sim racing, it's free:

rfactor is nice. It is just a notch less shiny than gtr2 (mainly because of the sun/flare effect I think), but it is totally open for modding, doesn't require a CD, and is extremely good physics-wise. I think the only drawbacks are lack of shift-R (car reset), and in replays you can't hear all the t...

I find GPL public servers pretty dang friendly! But I still race privately, generally.

Yeah, I like thinking about the physics of the cars a lot. Setups are really interesting!

I am hard-core into race sims. Well, medium-core. I only recently found a decent WWII sim and decent people to fly with. My roots are on the ground! My favorite is GPL (which is now basically free), then rfactor, and have done a little GTR2, but haven't gotten too into it since everyone else races r...

Josh and Kirill were walking through the fields one day when they came across a sheep with its head caught in a wire fence. Josh looked at Kirill for a moment trying to gauge his reaction. Finding only a blank stare, he shrugged his shoulders, pulled down his pants, and... you know... did stuff. To ...

I like how he uses the chainsaw to turn the forklift, all the while screaming at the top of his lungs. We had a (less gruesome) video like this for lab safety. All kinds of people getting poked with syringes full of toxic stuff and slipping on / cutting themselves with broken acid bottles. It was gr...

Good luck about that, Gen! My friend here started smoking just to see what it was like to be addicted, and if he could quit. He's been smoking for 5 years now. Not easy.

That is SOOOOO f****n harsh. Unbelievable.

I never understood why OSX looks so gorgeous with only 150MB of RAM and VISTA requires an entire GB just to sit there, looking at you. The only functionality I need is a window that leads me to IL-2. Everything else is ridiculous.

Welcome to the crazy. If they let me in, they let anyone in.

Just so long as I don't have to fly that ridiculous octagon thing they're so proud of.

The jets saw some air time ever? They certainly must have gotten off the ground, unless the documentary film "1942" by Nintendo is lying to me. I wouldn't mind giving them a shot.
