GTP Mod Re-released [06-03-2005 | JZ | Comments (10) ]
Brad McGiveron, Redline Dev.: "Its been quiet around here for a month now and alot has been going on behind the scenes while we have been reworking GTP for the release which is now ready. There are a few things different with it this time but the mod itself is totally intact and in fact with major improvements in all departments.

Everything from physics to the FPS counter and graphic glitches has been improved. The AI are also improved abit as well with so many other small fixes to mention... and I am sure there will be a few new bugs found.

We are however not releasing the tracks and the carset/paints we originally did. The community we feel can easily take up the slack and reproduce their own and any car paints they have been using or make new and better ones with ours and others templates. The work we have seen has really been top notch from carpaints posted by users and we urge and hope they all continue to do so.

The one thing we really hope is that VROC will get some real use as of this release. Its a top notch multiplayer lobby service with many feature being added ever day. The more leagues and people using it, the more it will improve so please use it and help it become a staple of the sim racing community as the original was and has been for so long for GPL.
The GTP V 1.0.0 (old version) is now not compatible with VROC and or GTP V 1.1.0 (new reworked). Also we, as our statement mentioned, will not support the first version and thus it should be considered a non topic around these parts. You can get Vroc here.

All of our forums are reopened so please post setups , carpaints and discuss GTP as you wish.

The install is a bit different this time and again ill mention that you do need a fresh copy of NR2003 installed and patched to version 1.2.0.1... I say a fresh one as you may mess up other mods if you install this to your standard install. Do so at own risk. Run our installer and when asked where to install, browse to the folder where the NR2003.exe would be ... and that is just about it.

We would like to thank First-Racing.net for their understanding and continued work to make simracing better for all. We also thank the many people who have talked to us and supported us. Finally and most importantly we want to thank everyone who worked on GTP. A year of work is alot in any form and specially for free!! THANK YOU!"

Redline Developments Statement [29-01-2005 | JZ | Comments (48) ]
Redline Developments would like to formally apologize for our lack of response following the original release and subsequent removal of Redline GTP. Shortly after release, we became aware of installation bugs. We brought this to the attention of the community. We also became aware that Redline GTP was infringing upon the rights of a number of companies. We have been working closely with FIRST-Racing.net - the company who owns the rights to the simulation we modified - on a restructured version of Redline GTP and are happy to say that we will have this out in the near future. The solution to this situation is designed to allow us to deliver our mod to the sim-racing community.

The restructured version of Redline GTP involves the removal of all infringed upon unlicensed properties including those of car manufacturers, track-owners and various other properties. Even with these changes, the core of Redline GTP remains completely intact. Redline Developments will fully support the restructured version of Redline GTP; however, we will be unable to offer support for the original release and ask you to delete such version from your computer.

The history of sim-racing includes a tradition of post-publisher mods and development. This will continue and is something both Redline Developments and FIRST-Racing.net support , however modding should not cross the line into intellectual property infringement. Modders and companies must work cooperatively in frameworks which protect the rights of all involved.

We at Redline Developments are amazed at the amount of excitement Redline GTP has created. The level of support we received from the sim-racing community has exceeded our expectations in every regard, and for that we are grateful.

We hope that you continue to enjoy Redline GTP and, again, thank you for your continued support!

Here's a few pics of Spa24hr from Jaguar incockpit . Also included in GTP will be 24hr versions of Suzuka , Silverstone and Magny-Cours in which morning Fog / Night / Evening / sunset are some of the conditions which appear. We have gone for a far more moody look then most night versions seen in nr2003 and mods and it makes the night driving more difficult then before. But alot of fun! We are getting to the final stages and a small final video clip coming soon showing some final stuff.
