Is anyone working on a grip or downforce editor for GPL?
It would be nice to have that 68 carset represent the 68 cars visually and
also in grip level / downforce. I still have trouble getting the power down
with these machines.

I don't think anyone suggested you would be cheating, but I'm sure a lot of
others would, and by doing so ruining the fun at VROC.

Duh.

Ric, after you get at least a couple hundred laps under your belt
offline <g>, go to http://gpl.gamestats.com/vroc and read the
newbie stuff. This sim is very very hard... unless you've got
some other car sim time under your belt be prepared to go slow
and with patience... online racing will be frustrating until you
can at least stay on the same lap with the AI offline. But once
you get there the sense of accomplishment will be gratifying...
IMHO running a clean online race amongst a group of 5 to 10
lustful humans is _almost_ as satisfying as winning one ;-)
The wheel/pedal stuff runs the gamut... I'd hesitate to recommend
anything since it's such a matter of personal preference... but
offhand the Thrustmaster Nascar Pro is probably the best consumer
grade deal at 100 bucks, and at the low end you might still find
a Thrustmaster Grand Prix 1 for 30 bucks (this one has paddles on
the wheel instead of foot pedals). Stay away from the no-name
arcade stuff... hard to go wrong with Thrustmaster for the price.
There are other wheel/pedal combos that can run up into the
hundreds.
Oh yeah... you'll need a serious P-II and video card to run this
thing in all it's glory.

GPL seems like I'm driving a boat on my first impression.. way too much
wheel spin regardless of car speed.. 3rd gear in the Ferrari and the car
comes around? I then choose the Lotus, lowest HP it was slightly better,
but the car is still wishy washy.... No sense of car control like in GP2,
(Got lots of laps in GP2)
I'm gonna try GPL with just the Keyboard, and see if that is a change for
the better..
Thanks
Ric
