BSB Series for GP500 Video Game
Posted: Sun May 25, 2014 12:33 am
Bailiff(another ZXR'r) and I are running in a BSB series for GP500 that starts this week coming.
It's an antique of a game but hits the spot in ways newer games still can't match.
If you'd like to give it a try and perhaps take part here's the full set ready to roll - no prior installation required. Just unpack and run GP500.exe
BSB 2014 Bike and Trackset.
(Click link to download - 392MB)
If you're not getting any sound - delete the file gpglobals.dat then run Data\Sounds\SndTest.exe
You'll have to set up your controller or keyboard before starting a session. [Options>Controls>]
Forum for Registration/Discussion/etc.
Hamachi will need installed and an account set up to take part in the online series.
Calendar.
Wed 28th May - Brands Hatch Indy - 17 laps
Mon 2nd June - Oulton Park - 8 laps
Wed 4th June - Snetterton - 11 laps
Mon 9th June - Knockhill - 16 laps
Wed 11th June - Brands Hatch GP - 9 laps
Mon 16th June - Thruxton - 10 laps
Wed 18th June - Oulton Park - 8 laps
Mon 23rd June - Cadwell Park - 9 laps
Wed 25th June - Donington Park 8 laps
Mon 30th June - Assen - 9 laps
Wed 2nd July - Silverstone - 7 laps
Mon 7th July - Brands Hatch GP - 9 laps
We usually run at 8pm UK time.
Here's a highlight reel from the last series. It'll look a bit jerky in places, that's partly a limitation in the replay files of the game(it's nigh-on 15 years old now) and partly because of the flooding at the start of the year(the poor wee internet was obviously suffering). During the actual races everything runs much smoother.

P.S. Knockhill isn't included in the set. I'm still working on a new model for it and won't be done 'til next week.
