Help! Some time ago, I changed the plr file to get the 2003 rules about
single lap qualifying. Now, I want to change it back, but can't remember
how!
Any help guys?
Thanks
Iain
I haven't tried this, but I would suggest you edit these lines in the .PLR
file.
CURNT Qualify Laps="12"
PRACT Qualify Laps="12"
QUICK Qualify Laps="12"
GPRIX Qualify Laps="12"
CHAMP Qualify Laps="12"
MULTI Qualify Laps="12"
RPLAY Qualify Laps="12"

Not in the strictest sense Eldred.
You can reduce the number of laps allowed from 12 to 3 and the duration from
60 to 20 minutes for example, but it won't be setup for each driver to go
seperately either one at a time or all at the same time on an empty track
like Papy's NASCAR Racing.
In the F1C league I'm in, we run one at a time for the out lap and hot lap
and then escape back to the pits. We tell everyone the order ahead of time
and each driver takes their turn. The next driver to go, exits the pits when
the driver running his lap crosses the start finish line to begin his hot
lap. It goes pretty quickly.
The file to edit is F1_2002.gbd in the SeasonData folder. Use notepad and
change the following lines:
QualifyDuration = 60
QualifyLaps = 12
to
QualifyDuration = 20
QualifyLaps = 3

I'm still glad you asked...<g>
I ran a test last night - 20 minute practice, 3 lap/15 min qual, 5 minute
warmup. Beautiful! So, I can set those figures for the real race Sunday, and
it will run efficiently even if I *don't* race in it myself. I don't have to
hang around to kick the server to the next session. I haven't turned a lap at
Suzuka since GP2, so I know I'm way off the pace... I'll probably just stay
out of the way.
Although, I haven't found a solution for the server car staying on the grid
yet. Bill, got an answer for that??? :-)

I did notice though that when I joined a server with those changes, I get a
mismatch. :(
Unfortunately, no. :(
Maybe soon... ;)

Jeeze Eldred:
Don't you like to race with us? If I'm there you
probably won't be last. Allow Stability assist if
you want.
Anyone with a decent computer, that's not me, and
a cable modem can host the number of cars we've been
seeing. It's nice to have a fast host with a fast
connection, but I don't know if it's worth having you
wade a half an hour each way through swamps filled
with carnivorous lizards in the blinding snow on
Sunday morning to start a server for a race you aren't
going to drive.
