Rudy is known for his dry sense of humour . True geniusses have never been understood by the general public.

Art, things are not as bleak as they appear. Humble as they are, the persons involved have not made any announcements, but in recent years there has been a revolution in the way cars are created for GPL. Thanks to Rory Gibson, Martin Huiskes, Bob Berman, Richard Neville, and Sergio Loro amongst others, who have lead the way in this revolution, a lot of new cars have already made their way into GPL. The first product from this revolution has been the SportsCar mod, but many more closed and open wheeled Mods are coming. The SportsCar Mod was and is an early product of this revolution, and adjustments and improvements are still being made to improve the process. For example, the Porsche 910 was the last car to be created for the SportsCar Mod. If you compare it to the Dino car released when Targa Florio was released, you will notice the improvements made. For the release version of the SportsCar Mod, The Ferrari P4 on which the Dino was based had been overhauled completely by Rory, and new textures were made by Sky. We opted not to redo the other cars as they were in relatively acceptable shape as they were, so we could get on with the newer mods. As a result, both prewar and postwar Grand Prix mods have progressed with leaps and bounds, being intially hampered by Gustavo leaving the GPL scene. Also, CanAm mods share the same story, here the initiator Mark Beckman leaving. A lot of mods left unfinished for many years are now on the move again thanks to this revolution.

To make a long story short, 2012 could be the best GPL year to date, as long as we survive the apocalypse that is.

Fantastic! Is that a Cooper-Maserati at around the 4:00 mark? I love the howl'n'growl of that engine!

[M Needforspeed]

the problems on what you say publicly in this thread,Rudy, is that all the addressees of your messages are perfectly aware of the situation you describe, but they are even more aware there aren't any alternative solutions.So they hopefully won't learn a single useful thing from your statements
  
  So what ?? Please, cld you find a solution ? Answer is NO.
                                               ( Unless you can deal with Kaemmer at i.Racing : please do it, you have our complete and warmth support !!)  

As a very intelligent person but acting as a child, you only foolish yourself by such remarks  

Meanwhile,the dedicated great work of all the modders is in progress, and you should instead prey everyday they keep involved in our beloved GPL

  Rudy,I believe if I remember well, we don't want to tchat together anymore.Please, may I ask you to respect our agreement  by not answering to this post   I play already completely guilty for my words  


  And Long live to all the great modders !

LOVE the preview movie, and very much looking forward to the 69 Extra.

The extra car slots are another Great Leap Forward for GPL, and it is fantastic news that some of the other Mods are now moving forward as well.

When I look at what's come out over the last few years, Targa and the GT's especially, and Thomas Laechele's updates, it is evident that these projects have been lovingly hand-crafted from start to finish, the envelope has been stretched and new ground has been broken all the time.

GPL is still the ONLY sim to drive, for someone of my tastes, and , most importantly, its got a great future, largely thanks to the guys who put HUGE amounts the work into it...even to the point of burning themselves out. This is not something we should ever take for granted, and a certain amount of appreciation would seem appropriate. THANK YOU, Modders!

Mind you, a little  dissent and debate in a community is a good thing, too...it feels...democratic

A slightly tongue-in-cheek query - the physics have been improved,yes, but have the reality police demanded (and received)a failiing rear wing in Monjuich or similar condditions ?  

[Photofactor]

I am new to this sim! So the wait has not been long for me!  LOL.  Anyway, thanks modders for all your hard work. I have been playing the GPC79 F1 mod on rfactor for years. After researching this game for a decade, I finally got it. Best race sim I have played. And I have played most. What took me so long!!! Took a few weeks to "come to grips" with this game tho, pun intended. Haha.

I spent a few weeks upgrading textures and whatnot as well. Game looks very good.

So thanks for all the mods, I am doing a "career", starting with the 65 cars.

Thanks again! If it were not for mods in general for any game, my computer would look my console, very dusty. lol

1/ Best laps screen.
The Best laps screen has been modified to show the 1969 World Championship tracks, the lap times from these tracks will be stored in your players/player name/"plac69.ini"

Does this mean that in general, best laps for addon tracks will not be stored in plac69.ini?

Actually thats a typo, for 69Xtra the player ini is plax69.ini

Great preview!  Thanks for the movie!  

The graphics look great!

A big thank you to the modding team for their work and dedication.

Personally, I will never complain about the time it takes to release mods/addons/etc.
To tell you the truth, I have not even finished properly going though everything that came out recently. I have yet to give serious tests to several cars of the 66mod and GTs (not to mention the Stratos mod) and I do race every week!.

I was not even expecting this release at all.  So if the end result of releasing new mods is as good as this and as historically accurate as this (this said without having tested the new physics), please take you time. I can wait and do have plenty to play with already!

Thanks again!

@Paul: So will plax69.ini contain lap records for, say, Rouen or Le Mans Bugatti? The release notes make it sound as if it won't.
