This is now a big improvement over the anything goes system, this way everyone is in there own class. I only use TC, SH (autoup) & CA so I was a bit miffed at competing with all those max aiders. I also reckon it could be an incentive for some people to reduce aids used in order to find a class with more competitors in. Overall a good solution to a tricky problem. http://f1lap.ea-europe.com/lapup/default.aspx

Try it. That's a mighty big oversight, and untill that gets fixed this CD stays in the recycle bin.

So the only reason you play the game is to hotlap and submit your times to the world record boards? That seems so...boring? Jason
One of the main reasons I binned this game shortly after getting it was the fact I along with 50% of global users will still be modem in 2005 and with no cable options, and no certainty that ISDN works with it, it seems a hotlap game is all it really is. Ive seen a few old GPLers playing it a bit, but seems only a few are of the masses have taken it up seriously... I like hotlapping, but there has to be a decent online factilty for the masses... Roll on RL :) jason moyer <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Fri, 02 Aug 2002 23:07:52 GMT, "rik zeppelin" <[email hidden]> > wrote: > > >You didn't know that the new telemetry accepts *some* > >laps after the game disqualifies them?

Yeah, I find the whole hotlapping system in F12002 completely flawed. I agree with Rik - Simon did a much better job by himself with F12001. As soon as EA stepped in, they made a complete botch of it. -- Damien Smith [email hidden] ICQ: 77028579 F12002 rank: huh?

Did EA pay Simon and dumb down the telemetry, or did they steal his ideas? (and yes Jason, I do race, but the AI get soooooo boring, and as David pointed out the multiplayer is crap too.)
