F1 2002: Hot Lapping and the Centerline

Apparently EA's hotlapping site does not consider the "centerline" to be the determiner of when a lap is valid or not. It must be that at least one wheel must be touching some part of the track. Look at this-- http://home.attbi.com/~alanbernardo/ Alanb

Well to me that makes much more sense than using the centre line like f12001rank I always thought in most racing it was considered legal as long as you still had two tyres on the track -- Cheers, Robin ................... `o^=o- now playing: D.R.I. - Nursing Home http://www.oppositelock.freeserve.co.uk - N�rburgring/GPL "Alan Bernardo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:5ynT8.193933$[email hidden]... > > Apparently EA's hotlapping site does not consider the "centerline" to be the > determiner of when a lap is valid or not.

Very interesting. Personally, I think the authentication is bugged. I've run laps where I've the centerline way into the grass (and at least 2/4 tires on the curb or grass) and then I've had other laps that I have failed where I never even went off the asphalt. Still confused........ Jon "Alan Bernardo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:5ynT8.193933$[email hidden]... > > Apparently EA's hotlapping site does not consider the "centerline" to bethe

Will SiPhi make a telemetry program for F1 2002 eventhough there is one built in? -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net

Will SiPhi make a telemetry program for F1 2002 eventhough there is one built in? -------------------------------------------- I think the one in F1 2002 is SiPhi's. At least it sure looks like it. It appears to me that all the developers did with F1 2002, was to add all the mods that people made to the game. Then they called it their own. I hope the mod makers got something for it. -- Richard "ZZ" Busch Member: Screamers Racing League CORS RASCAR GPL Rank + 17.46 MoGPL Rank + 349.43 ---------------- Busch Motorsports: Remember racecar is racecar spelled backward ----------------- Busch Carpentry: A good carpenter can nail anything -----------------

Yes, from what I understood, the telemetry is from SiPhi and yes I'm sure he got paid....how much?? That I don't know... :) Also I'm sure they had to pay Gamespy to allow use of thier matchmaking service. I would hope they find a way to pay somebody to improve the connection issues they have. They brought in a FF expert for F1 2001 and he did a bang-up job improving the FF effects that were rather bland before that title. They have made some good strides in improving the Multiplayer mod, you can keep players from joining during qualifying(so the momentary pause for everyone doesn't wreck your lap) you can now have open practice instead of sitting in the chat lobby waiting for everyone. But you can't chat from the car, you can't race with a large online group unless you have a MEGA comercial grade pipe for the host. And from what I gather, there isn't much in the way of post race results files that leagues would need. So I will applaud the progress they are making, but they have GOT to find a way to reduce the huge amount of bandwidth their multi requires. dave henrie "Richard "ZZ" Busch" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:LmCT8.68013$[email hidden]... > Will SiPhi make a telemetry program for F1 2002 eventhough there is > one built in? > -------------------------------------------- > I think the one in F1 2002 is SiPhi's.

Would the ingame telemetry program work with the upcoming FIA GT/ALMS/JGTC mods? Or would SiPhi need to make an external one again? BTW, I don't have F1 2002 yet but can you export your hot laps to a .LAP file? -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net
