When installing I need to skip that, so I can't driving on the Nürburgring.
I re-install GPL. I asked this once before but cant find the topic...

So I need the nurburg.dat again, and hopefully I do not have to ask again :)
Grand Prix Legends is a drug. And I'm an addict. Again.

If you need the nurburg.dat, that means that you don't have the GPL CD?  If you have the CD, you can just copy it from there.

That's the problem: when installing on the PC, with CD (which is required  :hmm:), nurburg.dat does not work. Probably the CD is slightly damaged or because it is a huge track.

If the CD is damaged you can try making a copy of it.
Sometimes the error correction algorithm of the CD recorder can produce a working CD again.
That way you can at least reinstall again in the future.

If the track is too large in datasize and you have too little space left you can copy the track.dat file from the CD itself iirc.
But only if the cd isn't damaged. The question is what point would it have to install the track when you have so little disk space left that the installation can't continue. Before i would proceed i would try first to clear some diskspace.

I guess what Bob meant is:
Install using the 1.04 installer.
When the installer says that Nurburg is damaged, skip that and let the installer finish the rest.
After the installation navigate to your CD/DVD drive, locate the track folder, goto nurburg folder, copy and paste the nurburg.dat from there to your installation.
