What the heck, lets get Papyrus to implement them all! Thats the neat
thing about switches, they can be off or on and you can "have it your way"
:)
I take your point about crawling around to the pits. I was really
thinking more about those shattering warp induced crashes ( rather than
driver induced errors) that project your car into low earth orbit. It
generally doesn't survive the landing in limpable form. I realize that shift
r'ing on the track is not sim reality, such as it is, but is really more of
a gameplay issue.
Anyway it would be good to have more configuration options in GPL online
