I am a very poor driver with lousy reactions and the attention span of a
dead otter. Yes, I'm sure the setups of Alison Hine and Gregor Huttu are
great if you are able to handle them, but they are no fun for me. So using
the information presented in the GPL Race Engineer (GRE), which is available
at http://www.racesimcentral.net/, I built a set of basic chassis
setups. I used them at *all tracks*. Yes, I'll wait while you purists pick
yourselves up off the floor...
I never have been good in any of the racing games with setups and I don't
have the patience to go through endless training sessions to see if changing
the fugglestat a quarter of a micron has improved my times. I just want to
race!! So I use the same setup at each track with the exception of the
gearing.
To use my setups, you have to modify them to have the right gearing for each
track. To get the right gears, do this: 1) start GPL and make sure you have
the right chassis selected, 2) go to the track you want to race on and load
the default setup, 3) reduce the fuel to, say, five gallons (plenty for
novice races, which is all I do), and 4) save this new setup with some
catchy name like "default_5gal". Then exit GPL.
If you have not already done so, install the "mg_GREroadcourses.xx" setups
in the setup folder of your player (EG C:\SIERRA\gpl\players\"your drivers
name"\setups), but not in any of the track folders in there; I put them one
level up, directly in the "setups" folder. Now start up GRE and open the
"mg_GREroadcourses.xx" setup appropriate for the chassis you want to use.
Then save it in the right setup folder appropriate for the track you
selected with any name you want. Then use the gearbox copy feature of GRE to
copy over the gearbox settings from the "default_5gal" setup.
The above steps sounds like a lot of work, but you only have to do it one
time for each chassis at each track. Once you have worked with the GRE for a
while you will find it an excellent tool. The advantage of course of having
the same chassis for all the tracks is that once you learn the ins and outs
of that setup you can go to each new track and just race instead of spending
hours tweaking a brand new setup.
