LeMans is UNSAFE!

There I was minding my own business, tucked in behind a little Poorsha with it's two paltry terbows....The mighty Viper loafing along as we checked out the top speed of the 'little' car. Through the two Mulsaane Chicanes...approaching the only hill on the course...when........... "Attention, this is your Captain Speaking...your Viper will be flying 20 feet off the ground for about 3.5 seconds...please observe the no smoking signs and fasten your seatbelts." ......... Up she went, floating on the breeze...the nose high in classic blow-over posistion...but the weight of the big rear brought the car down and the landing was hard.... WHEW! the ALMS cars handle the hill fairly well, but the FIA-GT cars, as Eden has pointed out....blow over ....this will be a pickle online... time to load up the LMP 900s from LM2k1. dave henrie

Well, had it been a Mercedes I would have been pretty impressed over the level of realism! -- ed_ "Dave Henrie" said: > There I was minding my own business, tucked in behind a little Poorsha > with it's two paltry terbows....The mighty Viper loafing along as we checked > out the top speed of the 'little' car. > Through the two Mulsaane Chicanes...approaching the only hill on the > course...when........... > > "Attention, this is your Captain Speaking...your Viper will be flying 20 > feet off the ground for about 3.5 seconds...please observe the no smoking > signs and fasten your seatbelts." > > ......... > Up she went, floating on the breeze...the nose high in classic blow-over > posistion...but the weight of the big rear brought the car down and the > landing was hard....

I just watched lemans on tv, and they have redone the track this year, so the cars wont fly anymore. Maybe a 2002-track for F1 2002? =) "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:YGfO8.28756$[email hidden]... > There I was minding my own business, tucked in behind a little Poorsha > with it's two paltry terbows....The mighty Viper loafing along as wechecked > out the top speed of the 'little' car. > Through the two Mulsaane Chicanes...approaching the only hill on the > course...when........... > > "Attention, this is your Captain Speaking...your Viper will be flying20 > feet off the ground for about 3.5 seconds...please observe the no smoking > signs and fasten your seatbelts." > > ......... > Up she went, floating on the breeze...the nose high in classicblow-over

It would be cool if that COULD happen online. Adds to the skills you need. You also need a pilot's license. :-) Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett Thanks to those of you who made a donation for breast cancer research.

LOL! Just did a back flip in the Lister over the jump and landed facing the right way going in the right direction (although in a mighty tankslapper) :) -- Cheers, Robin ................... `o^=o- http://www.oppositelock.freeserve.co.uk - N�rburgring/GPL "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:uoiO8.5$[email hidden]... > Well, had it been a Mercedes I would have been pretty impressed over the > level of realism! > > -- > ed_ > > "Dave Henrie" said: > > There I was minding my own business, tucked in behind a little Poorsha > > with it's two paltry terbows....The mighty Viper loafing along as we > checked > > out the top speed of the 'little' car. > > Through the two Mulsaane Chicanes...approaching the only hill on the > > course...when........... > > > > "Attention, this is your Captain Speaking...your Viper will be flying > 20 > > feet off the ground for about 3.5 seconds...please observe the no smoking > > signs and fasten your seatbelts." > > > > ......... > > Up she went, floating on the breeze...the nose high in classic > blow-over > > posistion...but the weight of the big rear brought the car down and the > > landing was hard....

First time I ran the SCGT version (which the new v3 mod version is based on) I'd expected the same results as in GPL - the revs kick up and a bit light. Wrong.

GPL cars are tubes on wheels. Modern race cars are upside-down planes. In GPL, grip comes from gravity. In modern race cars, it comes from magic :) (Ok, aerodynamics then. Basically it's the same thing).
