GP4 : must we have engine restart every time ?

sheez
I really can't stand this

you go for a practise session and try out the setup
it did not work and so you go back and adjust them
and set out again

but each and every time you  set out
those ***y scene of waiting for the mechanics
to start up your car...........
Can we PLEASE SKIP THIS !!

did anyone find the rev limiter in the game ?
I am looking at the controls but could not come up
with the rev limiter ? does it have one ?
( I am at ACE settings )

Wasn't there going to be a mode that allowed you to do hotlaps
with a new setup prior to the S/F line? Just got my copy yesterday
and haven't had a chance to fiddle.

Looks like it's automatically engaged from what I can see, a
tad dissapointing but I'll get over it.

Cheers,
Rod.

One might argue the real drivers have to wait for their car to be started
too and this is therefore an aspect of the simulation. On the other hand
there's the "hand of god" black flags in there as well, so I see your point.

If the other games in the series are anything to go by, it will engage
automatically during race session and not at all in private testing.

Yes the black flag is annoyingly still there. I was bumped of the track at
Monza and sent spinning in to the gravel and got black flagged, was not even
my fault. Needs fixing.

Also the game still takes over when you drive in the pits. It should be an
option.

But still, it's a very good game.

no even the rev limiter line is in the game !!

I am getting more and more pissed with this game
did you know there is no word " REPLAY"
in this ***y game !

Yet the replay is hidden some work
( I will let you enjoy the hunt )

2 games for the price of one

yeah
quicklap

so you run with the default setup
meant for Xbox gamers driving with keyboard
