Mo Funn: GPL Race Engineer is Out!

by Alison Hin » Fri, 24 Mar 2000 04:00:00

Upon the introduction of Dave Noonan's GPL Track Converter (at
http://www.racesimcentral.net/), the number of circuits available for GPL
approaches 50. With seven different chassis and three classes, the
number of setups required to cover all possibilities is over a thousand!
There is no way that I or anyone else can conceivably publish setup
collections that are anywhere near complete or comprehensive and also
consistent, at least at any time in the near future.

Aware of this prospect, my brother Nate Hine has developed a new program
called GPL Race Engineer. This program is designed to assist you in
developing new setups and adapting existing setups to new tracks and/or
new chassis or classes. With an extensive array of features, GRE makes
developing setups faster, easier, and more fun than ever before.
While Nate was developing GRE, I was writing a very comprehensive
document called GRE Help. This weighty electronic tome contains an
introduction to race car dynamics, a primer on setting up cars for GPL,
and extensive reference material.

Together, GRE and GRE Help - putting a large body of knowledge and
experience at your fingertips - present you with a unique new
opportunity to enhance your own understanding of race car behavior in
both GPL's virtual world and the real world.

Your days of poking around on the Internet for setups and begging people
to send you their setups are over.

Go here to read more about GRE and to download it:

Click on Help, then Add-Ons, then GPL Race Engineer.

  Tnaks so much Allison,GPL justs seems to get better and better with
people like you,Noonan and the like helping it out.Gonna try Nates GPL
Race Engineer tonight and know it will be quality piece of work:)What
do you think of adding Bumpstop indicaters to the top and bottom
screen to help even more in setting up the cars.The Replay Analyzer I
downloaded lastnight has telemetry for Slip Aangle and was wondering
if the maker(sorry)could extract info on the bumpstops too.
                                                    Thanks again

Great program! Many thanks!

Is it possible to get speeds &c. in metric units? I was trying to
change my gearing but mph doesn't mean much to me. I couldn't find an
option to change it.

Is it available somewhere else because I don't have enough patience to wait
for it to download at 700bytes/second! And yes I've got cable.

Thanks, Skeeter!

I would love to have some sort of bump stop indicators.  I've suggested
to the GPL Replay Analyser authors that they consider putting some sort
of ride height telemetry into their program.  Apparently it's not a
trivial undertaking, but they are considering it.

I've often noticed these mistery missing messages. They are even more rife
on binary groups (I think most servers don't replicate messages over a
certain size). To this end I also have a commercial news account. Sometimes
the commercial account has the message where as news.pandora.be doesn't (I
have your message on our provider's server in this case). But for RAS, after
much going back and forward between this account and the commercial one I
settled on news.pandora.be, because the number of dropouts is similar and
this DL's a heck of a lot faster.

We should race some day Tim.... Maybe NFS:PU?? -Still waiting for my copy
from Soft Shop tho'...

I've never liked the NFS series (well I did like NFS 1) so I won't be
tempted to buy NFSPU. I do love GPL but I'm no champion at it. My PB at
Monza is 1.28.34 but I can only manage constant high 1.29's.

Many thanks to Alison and Nate Hine for their work with GRE and
the setup help guide.  I havn't really gone too deep into setups
until now, I have scrounged mine from the web, but now I have
some sort of referance to guide me when trying to find a decent
set-up.

In as much as the track converter has breathed new life (though
it wasn't really lacking any) into GPL so has this utility.
Thank goodness my breif experiance with F1 2000 is now safely
buried in the past.

Chris
