rec.autos.simulators

On page 4 of the manual there are all sorts of HUD info that I can't
for the life of me figure out how to display. I've even checked out
the config file.

Is it possible to display the Tach, Lap Count, Race info, ....?

Not a big road coarse fan but GTL keeps growing on me, especially when
I used a cheat to drive whatever vehicle I want instead of that little
thing that Monster Garage turned into a snowblower <g>  I had a heck
of a time controlling it.

Ah, shit.  I sounded like Ludwig there LOL!

These things have NO business being in PC sims.  They are for kids on
Playstation.

As an option, fine.  But you should be able to turn this nonsense OFF at
will.

Now, if your talking about the virutual dash board that comes up when
driving like hood views, or outside the car, if you look carefully in the
settings>controlers area at the bottom there are 3 "wheels" looking things,
FYI, these are like "tabs" in windows applications, each showing more
screens.  in there you can see keyboard/button assignments, look for the one
that makes these pop up (I cant recall but I know I tried them ONCE) and
then go to your view, and see them change as you hit the key that is
asigned...

as far as in car?  I cant recall ever seeing the virtual gages in car
view...
good luck
pw enlightened us with:

Is there a pit strategy to this game (i.e., when to pit)?  Also, how
come the pitstops take up to a minute sometimes (not real time, of
course)?

1) Go to your \GTL\UserData\<playername>\ directory.
2) Back up your <playername>.PLR file in case something goes wrong.
3) Edit the <playername>.PLR file using a text editor.
4) Search for a line which says:

Allow HUD in***pit="0"

5) Change the "0" to "1" and save the file.

Now you should be able to activate the arcade-style gauges in the
***pit view.

Will give it a try.  Thanks!
