Well I dont have to have a SHIFT-R but do we really need to go thru +ADw-br+AD4- eleven clicks of the mouse as punishment for botching the start. +ADw-br+AD4- Couldnt it be 3 or 4? Eleven seems quite a bit of punishment +ADw-br+AD4- especially considering all the menus default to the wrong answer. Im +ADw-br+AD4- not a pro at this (yet)+ACY-lt+ADs-VBG+ACY-gt+ADs- so going thru all the clicks is just damn +ADw-br+AD4- tedious.

+ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAJg-gt+ADs-But you know what really does stick in my craw about this sim is the +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAJg-gt+ADs-interface....I PHOOCKING HATE THE INTERFACE....ALOT...UM really . +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAJg-gt+ADs-I have counted the amount of clicks with a mouse it takes to get back +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAJg-gt+ADs-to the starting line if you botch a start. ELEVEN...ARRRGGGGHH that +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAJg-gt+ADs-sucks...big time...I realise that the interface duplicates the old WC +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAJg-gt+ADs-but heh its the 21 century..+ACY-lt+ADs-VBG+ACY-gt+ADs- How about a shortcut key like ICR +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAJg-gt+ADs-has...botch the start shift-R and you go right back and try again +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-Not sure I'ld go quite that far, but it is a real shame that Geoff +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-Crammond seemingly refused to even look at Papy's games. He could have +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-learned a lot about the non-physics model stuff (that's not to say +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-that he couldn't also have learned anything from the physics model - +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-different subject +ACY-lt+ADs-g+ACY-gt+ADs-) +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-As for the re-start option, I must admit that I found it too easy to +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-restart in ICR. Made me a little too agressive at the start of the +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-races, knowing that I could easily restart +ACY-lt+ADs-g+ACY-gt+ADs- +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-Richard +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-br+AD4APA-/div+AD4-I think the restart would be good for the +ACY-quot+ADs-quickrace+ACY-quot+ADs- selection. I do +ADw-br+AD4- a lot of quickraces to get used to a course, and flying in to the +ADw-br+AD4- gravel and spending the next 20 seconds in slow-mo twisting my T2 to +ADw-br+AD4- the breaking point and watching the entire field dissappear in the +ADw-br+AD4- distance isn't any help in learning the course, and has often been the +ADw-br+AD4- last straw for an evening of GP2. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-I would agree that there shouldn't +ADw-br+AD4- be a +ACY-lt+ADs-shift-r+ACY-gt+ADs- sort of thing for formal races. You+ACoAKgAq-one of them +ADw-br+AD4- up, you ought to start all over. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-About the interface- ya, it can be irritating. I'd say that neither +ADw-br+AD4- Papy nor Crammond quite got it right yet.. In GP2, I'd say the major +ADw-br+AD4- headache is the default answer to +ACY-quot+ADs-Are you sure you want to +ADw-br+AD4- abandon/quit/etc.?+ACY-quot+ADs- being +ACY-quot+ADs-no.+ACY-quot+ADs- That is grating. Reminds me of trying +ADw-br+AD4- to quit WordPerfect for DOS+ACE- Anyone remember that stupidity? +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-The GP2 interface might be better if it had a better manual- I +ADw-br+AD4- understand from rumor in this group that Americans got ripped off in +ADw-br+AD4- the manual department. I could believe it- it didn't even tell me how +ADw-br+AD4- to get to car setups, and it took me 4 or 5 days before I tackled how +ADw-br+AD4- to do anything in the pits. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Another thing... weren't in-car torsion bar adjustments in '94 F1 +ADw-br+AD4- cars? I guess that is a technicality... but what really kills me is +ADw-br+AD4- not having any brake bias adjustments. I'm in Hungary right now, and +ADw-br+AD4- getting the car nibmle with the brakes is crucial for me. I really +ADw-br+AD4- don't like this course+ADs- maybe I will learn to. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-But do I like GP2? Yes, of course I do. It is quite a shock from ICR2, +ADw-br+AD4- where the cars are seemingly on ice... I really like having both of +ADw-br+AD4- them to jump between. I love the fact that GP2 has steering and +ADw-br+AD4- braking help- that way my 5 year old can race too. She feared ICR2, +ADw-br+AD4- and I don't blame her, it is the most unforgiving driving model. ICR2 +ADw-br+AD4- is hard-core sim, no frills. I think if they gave it some frills like +ADw-br+AD4- GP2, they could have made their market wider. BUt I guess that hope is +ADw-br+AD4- lost these days... +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-I also love the fact Crammond really thought about how important it is +ADw-br+AD4- to let the user configure controller sensitivities very carefully. I +ADw-br+AD4- begged Papyrus to consider that+ADs- but no, you got linear, you got +ADw-br+AD4- non-linear, that's it. People might say my request was unrealistic, +ADw-br+AD4- but let's face it, a real car moving shows a lot of resistance to +ADw-br+AD4- turning when it goes fast versus slow, which is it's own sort of +ADw-br+AD4- non-linear sensitivity. +ADw-br+AD4APA-/div+AD4-

+ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAJg-gt+ADs-The GP2 interface might be better if it had a better manual- I +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAJg-gt+ADs-understand from rumor in this group that Americans got ripped off in +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAJg-gt+ADs-the manual department. I could believe it- it didn't even tell me how +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAJg-gt+ADs-to get to car setups, and it took me 4 or 5 days before I tackled how +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAJg-gt+ADs-to do anything in the pits. +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-It's weird. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-I've seen a lot of r.a.s. posts from the USA asking simple +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-questions about car setup, but my USA manual has basic tips for all of the +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-setup questions. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-There's a six+ACoAKgAq--page section in the Appendix of my manual +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-that discusses car setup issues. +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-FYI, my manual is 150 pages and all pix are in B+ACY-amp+ADs-W. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-I purchased GP2 in Orange +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-Park, FL. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-br+AD4APA-/div+AD4-Yep, we got the same one. But maybe you had GP originally... my +ADw-br+AD4- problem wasn't changing setups- in fact, I find them refreshingly +ADw-br+AD4- clear as compared to ICR2... but I was looking and looking in the +ADw-br+AD4- manual for how to GET to the setups, and decided it just isn't in the +ADw-br+AD4- manual. I finally found it in the program, of course. Took me a while +ADw-br+AD4- to figure out how to use the pits too, but that is fine now too. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Any tips on how to do replays? I don't quite understand where to go on +ADw-br+AD4- that matter. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-And once and for all, does GP2 keep personal best times for me, or +ADw-br+AD4- only track records? +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-I love GP2, don't anyone get me wrong... nowhere's near a disaster +ADw-br+AD4- release like some products we might be familiar with. +ADw-br+AD4APA-/div+AD4-
