I am now running an HP 8000 elite with Core Duo Intel processor 3.4Ghz + 8Gb ram. with Intel graphics plus the Intel graphics media accelerator.
I have a Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel and pedals.
I have loaded both early and v1.3 beta versions of GPL.
The graphics has been set to OpenGL V2setup,( having tried the directX and found it wanting).
Frame rate in both versions is 36. I run in 1280x1024 on an HPL1710 screen.
Problem 1
I start with V1.3.
I set the antirollbars to 0lbf/in,
I save the settings.
The min rate reverts to 40lbf/in!!!
After checking my actions etc I have concluded there is a bug.
When I run the original version, downloaded at the same time as v1.3, I can set the antiroll bar to 0lbf/in and the setting is saved. This is how it should be.
Problem 2
If I wish to change the set-up after stopping on the circuit (Nurburgring) and press Esc followed by Return, the screen blacks out leaving the only the cursor visible.
This problem is intermittent, and seems to be influenced by motion of the car.
I have to Ctrl Alt Del to return to normality, when I find the resolution to be 640x480 or similar. It gives a message saying that the resolution is incorrectly set . I check using the Intel button on the notification bar, but all is OK!
At the moment I find the original version more to my liking than V1.3.
Nevertheless, it's great to be able run GPL again, and thanks to all you software wizards who have made it possible.
