how do you do it? the sound isnt there (like in the papyrus games) and the
feel isnt there, so how (apart from either massive understeer or oversteer)
can you detect brake lockup?

That's a good question.  I noticed this too.  Very hard to tell.

In the player.plr file under sound is a line called Vehicle scrubbing
multvol or something like that.  Change the line to 1.5000 or to your
liking.

Its a leaked press demo, doubt its fully complete as they wanted for
public release.

That's my main gripe with GTR (apart from the fact that it will run only
800x600). Papy's physics aren't beaten yet.

Bye,

Yeah, it's difficult.  The Papy games use an exaggerated screech sound and
at least in F1C, because it's an open wheeler game, you can see the when the
tyres lock up.  There _is_ a scrubbing sound though in the demo and if you
know what to listen for you can hear when a tyre locks.

   hmmm I guess I'd better reset my 1200x1040x32bit setting then.

Thanks Mitch! I changed it in mine and it does help a bit. For me 1.5000 is
a little too much though, so tonight I will try a slightly lesser value. ;)
Thanks again!

Could somebody post the original Skid/Scrub VolMulti values?  I'm too
lazy to do a reinstall, and too stupid to have left comments with the
original values ;).

TIA!
