Yeh, I know. Just don't tell DGF...

I absolutely abhor the way the cars drive but there's no other game
that captures the essence of rallying, that is, long stages through
beautiful but brutal terrain which serves as a test of endurance for
both the car and the driver.  Rally Trophy could have the most
realistic handling ever (altho personally I find Rally Masters and
Rallisport Challenge more convincing, if flawed) and it doesn't mean
***because you're twiddling around 2km stages.  If rallying really
consisted of driving indestructible cars for 2 minutes at a time, it
would cease to be a tier 1 motorsport.

FWLiftSideways=(1.0) // dropoff in downforce with yaw (0.0 = none, 1.0
= max)
RWLiftSideways=(1.0) // dropoff in downforce with yaw (0.0 = none, 1.0
= max)
DiffuserSideways=(1.0) // dropoff with yaw (0.0 = none, 1.0 = max)

And of course brake pressure set to at least 100.  Not perfect, but
certainly not any further from being convincing/realistic than GPL is
with its indestructible brakes/tires and ridiculous slip angles.  At
least F1 2002's ridiculous slip angles can be fixed by modifying the
above 3 lines.

The webpage says to "just put the contents of the .ace file into a new
folder called Road Atlanta".

But, exactly where in F1 2002's and GTR2002's menu structure should this
new folder be created?  Does this need to be done twice?  (Once for F1
2002 and once for GTR 2002?)  And do I really include EVERYTHING from
the .ace file?  (The .ace file includes its own "Season02" and "Save"
folders...)

Any clarification on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Bert

For F1 2002, the track folder goes into Season02\Tracks, the *.svm into
Save & the setup into Save\YOUR PLAYER NAME\Settings\Road Atlanta.

Something's gone amiss here.  I was actually criticising DGF for attacking
you like you were a GPL nazi.  Oh well...

Isn't it traditional to kill a thread once someone mentions the nazis?
