when you bring up the options (F1 key) it says "shift - t" is
telltale restart but it never does anything when i do that and the
manual mentions it but doesn't say what it does either. anyone know?

thanks

It resets the telltale on the tach (the red needle that shows your peak
RPM).

The little red line on the tach that shows how fast(RPMs) the engine has
turned is the "telltale" It is there to give the crew chief, engineer, car
owner, or etc. a reason to yell at the driver for overrevving, and blame
him/her for problems in the prep, design, purchase error, or etc of the
car/engine. We used to call 'em "tattletales"

I use it in the game/sim as a sort of redline, eg don't rev that high.

[what is telltale restart]

Why is it there? I mean, we have no Skip Barber racing instructor who
will yell at us for overrevving. :)

Because it simulates reality as it was in the***pit back then.

Has anybody yet done a correct Honda livery of the fictitious "Murasama"
(whatever!)?

If so, could you please email same?

Thanks.

Check out http://gpl.gamestats.com in the Files section is a paintjob of the
1967 RA273 HONDA. It worked for the demo not sure about the full version.
You may need to extract the bitmaps and then re-insert them for the Mura.

Thanks
John

There is a Honda paintjob

Thanks John, but it is based on the Brabham whereas the Murasama is
based on the Gurney "Eagle".
