F1RS: use Ghost in Replay?

by Keith Allso » Wed, 01 Apr 1998 04:00:00

Is it possible to use a ghost lap as an actual replay lap? I am unable
to load any ghost laps in the Replay screen, although I can see the
files in the directory f1rs\f1datab\scope.

Thats because ghost laps are *not* the same as replays!

To run a ghost lap you must be in time attack mode, go to the screen
before you actually start racing.

You should see the button to go to the car settings and a button for
ghost laps on the bottom left of the screen, select this button and
then highlight the ghost lap you want to see, then start driving and
the ghost car will be there as you cross the start line.

Peter,

I know ghost laps are NOT replays, but can you reuse a ghost lap as a
replay lap? They are both seq files, are they actually both in the same
format?

   You'd think so wouldn't you? Certainly would enhance F1RS. I was
suprised to see that replays are only enabled under certain conditions
like races. Dunno why they did this.
