I know that F1 2002 uses the same pit limiter as F1 2001 but is it true that in real F1cars the limiter is disabled by selecting 2nd gear? Craig
Maybe they can map it to deselect revlimited too, but otherwise no. They have a button on the wheel that engages the pitlane revlimiter, and also opens the door to the fueltank.

I think I heard that the rev limiter was disabled by selecting 2nd or 3rd. I don't remember exactly, but I suppose the driver can also do that manually. Something I saw on Speed Channel, probably.

If it is, no need to shift, just lift off the button. All their stuff is electronic/hydraulic, it has to be that simple.

The rev limiter in a Ferrari is activated by the radio: "Hey Rubens, slow down and let Michael win"
Yes, the button is labeled "S" from what ive seen on photos. Its probably not real to change gear to get rid of the pitlane-limiter, cause Alex Yoong got in 2nd gear in the pits, but the only thing that happened was that the engine caughed. maybe it was to lowrev :) But since as said, everything is possible. Its just some extra code in the computers "If (gearbutton == pressed) then pitlanelimiter = off" etc =) "SimRacer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:cOWD8.75195$[email hidden]...
