   Is GPL getting creamed? Most negative posts are from people simply venting frustration
at how difficult it is (which is actually a selling point IMO). And the usual upgrade
blues. I have been hanging around here for around 12 months and have never seen anything
recieved as well as GPL. F1RS peaked for a while but the off track physics, menus and lack
of proper TCP/IP support held it back. There is very little holding GPL back apart from
peoples upgrade schedules :)
