GPL: Broken engine ?

by porsch.. » Sat, 04 Dec 1999 04:00:00

Something weird is happening to my GPL since 1.2. It worked fine at
first, and then I staterd to get cars with a bad engine (you know, the
engine hesitates to rev up, I suppose that's a failure mode). Thing is,
the damage model is all off, and now I always get bad engines no matter
how many times I exit and restart the game... Only thing I changes
since upgrading a clean install to 1.2 is alison's driver_slow.ini fix.
Any ideas ? Thx !

It may be your controller thats playing up.
try recalibrating and look closely at how the sliders move, especially on
full acceleration.

1.  See if there's smoke.  If there is, well, then something's causing your
engine to blow when it's not supposed to...then I'd do a reinstall...

2.  No smoke?  Good....make sure you have gas and fuel pressure!

3.  Check your control calibrations.

4.  Make sure there's no helps of any kind.

I also get uneven throttle at times. No damage, no slow.ini

Perhaps the ole calibration problem? Check your controller settings.
