rec.autos.simulators

Also, right now, I can`t even compete with the AI cars.  Is there a way to
lower how fast these other cars go?  I would like to make them only slightly
better than me so that I would have at least a living chance to win a race
once in a while!

I have just re-installed GPL a few days ago (after more than 1 year maybe 2
on the shelf) and I am really rediscovering it thank to this group.  I am
also amazed by the number of add-on tracks and other stuff that you guys
came up with.  Awesome!  Now if I could only get somewhat competitive so
that I can race online...

It's generally accepted that Real Men (and Women, obviously) only use the
in car view. It's a simulation, after all, and there's no type of racing
where the driver sits ten feet off the ground, ten yards back from the
front of his vehicle. Well, apart from the little known
reverse-truck-racing series.

But in ***space, no-one can hear you hit the F10 key ;o) Having said
that, the biggest problem with the exterior view is the lack of mirrors,
and mirrors are vital when racing with others.

If you want to improve your racing it might be best to stick to the
original tracks for now. (It's been a while since I visited vroc, but I
expect Monza's still popular). But you're right, the various graphical and
track enhancements make GPL an amazing and continuing racing experience.
Hats off to everyone still actively involved in the community.
