I have been wanting to play this game. I played a long time ago but I haven't for several years. If I wanted to play again what should I do? After I install the game what additions and in what order should I download to have the most accurate representation of the 1967 GP season?

You've come along at a good time. There's an Installer - see https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=42726 - and a guide - see https://bhms.racesimcentral.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=42796 out now.

The Installer will automatically (if you tell it) add the best original track graphics that are available.

If you want further advice on wihat to add, see Fred Faster's site at https://www.scuderia-legends.it/gpladdons/main_select_eng.htm but most of that stuff is included in the installer.

The exception would be the Monaco update which is huge and for high-end computers. It's not in the Installer, but you can find details at the Fred Faster site.

Wow thanks so much! The installer is awesome. I just have a couple more quick newbie questions. First how do I get rid of the widescreen letterbox? My screen is already a widescreen so that is quite annoying. Secondly I started a Novie championship to start to get into the game again. How do I turn off some of the driving aids. I'd like them all off except for auto-clutch. I just can't find the option anywhere. Thanks again!

The letterbox format is fixed. However, you should use the resolution hacker at https://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=172120

If your wide screen monitor has a resolution of 1680x1050 for instance, you can modify the rasterizer to ues that res.

If you use 1680x1050 as i do (22" Viewsonic LCD), attached is mine. Just back up yoThe letterbox format is fixed. However, you should use the resolution hacker at https://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=172120

You can find the driving aid check boxes in the Options > Sound and Gameplay menu.
