This installer basically installs a complete GPL 1965 F1 Mod Version 2.0.2. To allow a one-click installation this installer is a merged installation of the original GPL 1965 F1 Mod Version 2.0.1, the high res version of the Lotus 33 and the later published Version 2.0.2. Additional the recommended steering wheel fix from MECH is included as well. You will find the 65mod raised add-on from MECH in the repository\GPL65\MECH folder as well as an option in the “Select Components”. You have the choice to select the original, full installation, a customized, a historic ride height or a historic ride height with 2D helmets. There’s still some interesting debate as to the ride height of the original mod or the changed one from MECH is the right one. Due to the zillion options I’ll leave that to you and so I have limited the options to basically 2 when you want to use the ride height fix from MECH.
Just to add that the ride height fix from MECH is included as well as an AI XML option for GEM+ which is kindly provided by maddog!

Thx Bernd for this installer!
Your installer(s) make(s) installing mods for GPL easier than ever.

And thx of course to those who were involved in creating the 65 mod and giving permission to this all-in-one easy installation compilation.

[Andreh]

ditto,

and ditto!

Thanks for your job BERND  
BYE

[Pedro]

Much appreciated Bernd!!

Thanks for all your work  

[Paddy the Irishman]

I'm confused about this  

I already have a working installation of the 65 mod in place.

Would there be an advantage in deleting the original installation and replacing by using this new installer to replace the 65 mod ?

Nope

It's for those who need to install not for those with a working 65 Mod 2.0.2

[Paddy the Irishman]

Thanks for your swift response Bernd

[Bernd Nowak]

Due to my new Windows 8 installation I have tested the GPLPS installer, GEM+, the 65mod trackpack and this alternative installer and have found a small, but silly error with the 65mod main pbf which is fixed now The installer should work now fine.
The installer is only needed for those which need to install all fresh. It's no new stuff but has gathered all the individual files so it should be easy for returning Grand Prix Legends drivers as well as for those who would like to know what is all the talk about Grand Prix Legends simulation

[ivanov-uman]

Great addon for great mod 1965 !!! Thank your  guys !!!

[Andreh]

Im having a problem, not sure the reason.
Used both installers and at Igor I cant join servers with the 65 mod.
Igor complains that I dont have the tracks installed, monaco, east london, and manually installed IoM
Any ideas?
Reinstall 65mod manually over?

[Andreh]

OK, some more research and I was able to join server using the ingame multiplayer option, so it seems the problem resides in IGOR.
I can race in the tracks off line using GEM.
If anyone knows the answer

Have you found a solution Andre? Still puzzled but I remember I had seen this eror myself and @ RSC when iGOR and the 65mod had been released.
Can you post your igor.ini? I'm not sure if there's a password in it. Please remove before uploading

Rather late to this - missed the original ride height mod - but I can confirm that a great deal of effort went into getting the visual riide height of the 65 mod cars "right".  Gustavo edited all the cars the make that visual adjustment easier.  The cars ride very very slightly too low but this is to avoid the floating tyre effect you can get on some tracks.  The cars will look right if you set them to historically correct ride heights.  If you run at 2.5" they will look too low.  

MECHs mod will allow you to run at 2.5" ride heights with the cars looking as though they are running at historically correct ride heights, and as many do run at 2.5" it does serve a useful purpose.

[maddog]

Hi David,

We have a great deal to thank you guys for, when you made the 65mod.  It created the 'Cogs and wheels', and was the inspiration, of so much to follow.

I'm the 65 Ride Height salesman, and saw these cars racing when we were new.  And I'd agree, the 65 Ai look good out of the box.   The problem lies with the Player, who sits low and curiously, lower again online?   The 67's suffer the same fate, so it's an inherited trait.

The '65 ride height patch raises the player towards the Ai, which makes them ride higher also.  This was a compromise.  So, I've since discovered a way to lower the Ai, to meet the Player coming up!  So, for the 1st time, Ai and player, Online and Offline, can all ride at Gustavo's intended ride height!

As you've noticed, the fix is included as an option, in Bernd's new 65 installer.  I hope you give it a try.
