Plenty of life left in the old sim!

Don't forget about American Muscle cars Dave! Like the Cuda-




And the GT500-



Learn to take care of them too, I guess I need a little work done to my Falcon,lol



At least I don't treat them like Ferry does with this truck!

[Daveroo]

ok...i love that falcon.....you can make your own?.....one more question cause i cant seem to see the answer...and yes..im going to the optomitrist friday....tired of squinting and tilting my head....but i have a wheel with a shifter,with gas,break,and clutch,,will the game support the clutch and shifter?..or?...did i jump the gun again..atleast i do know trackir works with it acorrding to thier site

[eddie]

Your wheel should work just fine Dave, go into the controller section in GTL to set it up. As far as making a car for the sim, I believe you will need 3 DS Max, very expensive designing program. But there are plenty of cars to download and install, like those 3 in the pics I put up.Also a Charger, Roadrunner, Mustang GT350 like McQueens in "Bullit", plenty of different tracks to add too! The Falcon comes with a 351 Cleveland, there are 3 different Falcons to choose from.

What game is that?

Found a few more virtual toys:

The Aston Martin DBR1:





Mazda Cosmo:





Nissan Skyline (The original, not the 'fast & furious' overweight, overengineered current ones!):



Loves to go sideways!:



Not a real racer, but a beautiful car anyway, the Fiat 2300S:

ya now...my mom had a 1973 fiat 850 spider,i got to drive it "at speed" ( went better than i expected) at "sears point,"sonoma" way back when,early 80s,i guess,was part of a "fun day",we went down and "played "with the california highway patro,it had to have been late 81,i was still driving my hobby stock ,but my friends and i "played bad guys" and we drove old dodge polara's and the CHP guys and gals were driving brand new cruisers,if you remember where kenny schrader turned over at sears point,you pass start/finsih,make a left turn and start up the hill,the cop tried to pop me,and i got behind him and spun him and he went flying into the hay and turned over...OMG he was mad!!!!,but i didnt get in trouble because i was just doing as told,,,get away and do as i needed to "escape"..but back to the fiat,got to drive it around the course later that day and had a blast...this is not the car,but looks just like it,

That truck is from Liberation 1944 Ferry! Just couldn't resist using it and you in the same sentence,lol

Yep, that stupid Starforce thing's the reason I had not touched GTL in years, but fortunately there's a solution!

Ferry - again thanks for the link, I dug out the scanner, dusted it off (literally) scanned the CD and box, filled out the online form etc and lo and behold I awoke this am to an e-mail with a link to d/l the revival version. Worked a treat thanks very much. Its a grand old sim and still looks good today.

[Daveroo]

i cant find "the offical" website,where are those cars downloadable from?..like the valiant?.

[Daveroo]

that the correct one?

The best GTL (Or any other racing sim for that matter) resource is http://www.nogripracing.com/index.php

Pick your downloads carefully though, as there's a 100mb daily limit!

Grabbed the 70 kilometer long Targa Florio track today, think I'll take that big Fiat for a spin later tonight.

Edit: Dave, you might want to give this one a try!: http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=30022

[Naismith]

OT - I once owned a Fiat, I discovered they don't react well to being stuck on the beech when the tide comes in. Could almost watch it rust away in real time.

Here's a link right to the car mods Dave.
