Man, I got kicked, too. It didn't have my car(s) on it, then sat for a couple seconds and gave me the boot.

I added a page to my website with my current offerings...bookmark it. I plan on adding every color 914. I've got all of the non-metallics done, and I'm working on the metallics...they will be available as individual downloads.

For a while there, it was like playing Haunted Mansion. I had to keep lighting candles while I wandered around and stumbled across the download links.

gotta make you work for 'em...I guess I shoulda made 'em a bit more obvious.

no ideas, but to troubleshoot, I would take out the 1st set's cars and add them back 1 by 1 until you find the one that is causing the problem. I bet it's the #370, but I have all of them (and more) installed without problem.

Have you upgraded to version 1.1?

yup

QUOTE

Sean, the second set of cars seems to work OK, but the first set, if I have them installed the game crashes, when I click go race. Any ideas?

When I first installed the game, I had issues with the cars that I installed. I had tried to test drive a 904 and every time I would go to race, I was stuck back in the 904.

I ended up creating a new player and deleting the old player and all was well. I guess the player data somehow got corrupt. It worked for me.

Thank you so much Seanery.

Your skin sets are amazing. Now I can race with other 914 just I always dreamed of.

Thank you for sharing your work and knowledge.

By the way, a few weeks ago, I made GT Legends video with the 914 fighting against a 911 at Dijon Prenois.

You can watch it here http://914garage.com/video.htm

Of course I will make new videos featuring your amazing skins ... Stay tuned.

Johannes

Thanks for the kind words Johannes. I like your videos. I use GameCam, what program are you using to record them?

I've had no glitches with Sean's cars...except sometimes they don't go fast enough

Nice video Johannes

Funny that you said that...I tried earlier to change some numbers in the .car file to make the car faster with no luck

QUOTE

This would be cheating, no?
Actually I enjoy the 914 as-is. I love having a Corvette or Pantera pass me on the strait only to out-brake the pig into the next curve and run away on the exit. I've found that car set-up is very critical to running a competitive 914....get the gearing right...watch tire temps and fiddle with camber settings...the right toe-in helps turn-in...sway bar sizes for good balance...diff settings for traction vs "pushing"....just the right brake balance allows you to toss the car into the apex with a little stab on the pedal going in. The best track I've found for 914's with my set-ups so far is Hockenheim....I could race there all day

I am also having problems with Sean's cars. When I first put them on the system they worked and I was having fun. The next time I tried them (test drive from a dealer) after doing some practice laps in other cars and then an online practice session the application just died when I tried to use one of Sean's cars.

I removed them and didn't have a problem running the original. I am going to replace them one by one to see what is going on and yes I have version 1.1.

Are you using ZoneAlarm or some kinda personal firewall?

I would, first, make a new player profile and try that...I've been reading about those getting corrupted.

Martin,
I use CTRL+PrintScreen and then paste into Photoshop, so I'm not too sure where they end up using F12. I'm sure it's somewhere in your GTLegends folder, if you sort by date, I'm sure you'll find em.

I refuse to look anymore....after one more exhaustive search starting now....I have a great one to post...Mullenbach, @ Nurburgring, fun little course.

in the demo, the screenshots are saved in the main program folder, in my case "C:\Program Files\GTLDemo" and are named "GRAB_000.JPG" where "000" is a variable number sequentially counting your screenshots ...

Do you do any other online gaming? Some personal firewalls require you to allow the executable internet access. It appears to be a problem on the GT Legends forum.

GT Legends Forum

Well, I got the replacement wheel from Amazon over the weekend. I was camping, so I did not get to see it till I got home late monday evening.


Man, the difference is night and day.
First off, it works. Thats a plus.
When the first wheel was working, the force feedback was very weak, this one is much stronger. It has engine vibrations! I did a couple laps with it around the demo track before realizing that I was so tired I was about to collapse. The difference between the new wheel and the old one is night and day, and I like the old one while it was working for the day it was working.

I can't wait for the US release 2 weeks from now.

disable the POS win xp firewall, and use sygate... sygate is a damn good firewall, and free... much less overhead than zone alarm,too

Anyone out there know if a no DVD hack is out for this game, I bought it and hate needing to have a DVD drive on my PC just to run a game. I made a very quiet PC (it's silent) for recording LP's and general music and photo tasks and I never intended to have any permenent drives mounted.

Also my integrated video (nvidia 6150) can't quite handle the game - what is better for this game ATI or Nvidia? I know that I will have to mod anything I might get to make it quiet.

Does anyone know how to fix the wimpy engine sounds the 914 makes? The RSR is much better sounding.

Yep - latest drivers. The game is OK I just can't get the eye candy cranked up and keep a nice frame rate. It looks OK but plays poorly - just like GPL does when the framerate is to low, makes it really hard to drive smooth.
What settings are you using. I would really prefer not to add a power eating heat and noise making video card to my silent system.

nope, there's a way around it, but it's more of a pain than using the dvd... the hack involves editing the registry, running a hack called starfuck and unplugging your ide cable to your cd-roms after mounting the dvd's image(which you have to make) using a program like alcohol 120% or DaemonTools...

I finally got to play on your server blitz. It turns out Windows Firewall wasn't really the problem. It was Norton's Internet Worm utility (part of Antivirus 2005). Right now I've got them both shut off. I'm gonna turn 1 on and see if I can get it to still work.

I ran 3 or 4 laps in an RSR and it played smooth - granted, no one else was on so it should

Can you install my carsets? If we get 914 guys playing there it'd be nice if we weren't all driving the same car.

Also, I plan on releasing all of the factory colors, too, so folks can drive a reasonable facsimilie of their car.

That's good to hear, I kept thinking it was something on my end. I'll install the skins this evening and maybe we can get some races organized.

OK, I'm looking on your site and don't see any download links. I could be blind.

...to the left of the descriptions....faint little red button that glows "DOWNLOAD" when moused over.

targas are pretty standard - Irfanview, Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc...will open them. Once opened you can save them as .jpg files.

More Maps available Here!

It looks like the floodgates are opening!

I have added the 914 skins to the server and the new tracks. However, I think the other participants (clients), will need to install them to see them. Unless the server downloads them, some game servers like HalfLife, UT will do that.

The Nordschliefe is coming, the Nordschliefe is coming!!!

don't bother, it won't work once you get it... I had an iso I DLd... the copy protection is big-time on this one...

The beta release of the Nordschliefe ( really wish I could spell it right) has been released.

The Mother!

The screenshots of Nordschliefe look very cool. I can't wait until I build my new system and get my copy of GTL.

Quick question for those with the game. Is anyone running GTL on a wide-screen monitor? If so, what resolution are you using? Also, any specs on your video card & monitor setup would be appreciated.

I am. I have an HP 24" widescreen. I was running 1920x1200, but switched a week or so ago to 1600x1050. I see no loss in quality and I get a couple more frames per second. I'm using an ATI 9800pro AGP. The card will do 8x AGP, but my mobo only supports 4x. If I were building a system I'd get an ATI X850 or X1800 512meg PCI Express.
