Hi GP2 fans!

We have a bis problem with gp2, because we cant find a options
setting which allows my son Thomas (7 years old)to drive with
all the help options and to compete with me using no help options
or with the program driven pilots.

We always have done this with F1gp and was both on the same level.

But with GP2 after some training on a track I can drive very good
times but we cannot do this with all the help options.

Of course we have set the rookie mode but it does not help.

What can we do.

If you are indeed driving in the rookie mode, one can toggle the help
options with the Function keys.

AFAIK, you cannot tell GP2 to switch difficulty level.

When you take over, just take off the options using the F1-->F7.
You've got at least 5 seconds before the computer gives you control.
You should be on rookie level to get all the help options available
for your son.

Hi GP2 fans

I and my son (7 years old) have a big problem with the GP2 which we had
not
with F1GP. My son always have driven with all help options and
I with none. In this way he was very good and we both could competed
with all the program driven pilots.

Now GP2 dont allows my son to get any acceptable laptime.

We have set the rookie option and tried with the three options
for the distribution of strenght, but nothing helps. He control the
steering to be complete on the white line and is then one of the last
in the qualifying.

So its completly disappointing for him.

Can us help anyone?

Hi Richard!

Sorry my explanation of our problem was very bad.

Indeed we have no problems to switch between the helplevels.

The problem is, that using the helplevel my son cant get acceptable
laptimes and has not the littlest chance to win in one of many plays.

Thats the real problem we have.

Maybe you have a solution for us. Im afraid the only is
training, training, training, ...

Karl

Hokay. The problem seems to be:
How can we get competitive lap times, with all the help options on?
What we need are setups that allows the best times, even when the
computer slows down in all the wrong places. What about this one for
Monza?
Wing 10/3  Gears: 28 36 44 52 59 66  Brakes 41.25  Lower the car to
32 on front and to... 52? (if you went down 1.0 on the front, from
the neutral, given setup, go 1.5 down on the rear and so on) You may
want to stiffen the front springs to 1600.

This is all from memory, but a friend of mine played with this and
although we didn't bother to qualify, he advanced well up the order,
on rookie level. (In the first outing I had to hide way back so I
didn't get hit by all the wrecks left in his wake...) We were on    
two linked machines, btw.

One thing to do could be to sit next to him and click on and off the
brakes at the opportune places (Like going out of Parabolica on
Monza, for instance). But this may upset the car to much.

There are a lot of pages with setups, many advertised here, but they
are very often too extreme to be any good for full help laps. I guess
they could work if you flatten that often extreme front wing, though.

Cheers!
