Hi, I want to race with low powered cars, like if it was F2... how to reduce the engine power of all the cars (not only mine but also the cars of all the AI, the opponents) in GPL (the only valuable sim) ? Thank in advance.

From http://jc.simracing.dk/ Look under "Beginners Guide to F2/FD" "Racing F2 and FD Offline By default all racing in GPL is set to use the GP/F1 cars and even if you select your F2 Driver Profile, electing to race will switch your class to F1. To alter this you need to make a very small change to a file in your F2 players directory. You need to open the file player.ini in the directory e.g. \Sierra\GPL\players\Smith_F2__John\ with a text editor (i.e. notepad). Look for a parameter called driverRating. It's in the [ Personal Information ] stanza. Change the value of driverRating to 2 for the Advanced Trainer (it should be 3 by default). Now when you choose Single Race whilst using your F2 player profile GPL will allow you to race the F2/Advanced Trainer cars. You Do Not need to make any changes in order to race the FDs (as these are essentially F1 cars anyway) Online The only thing to bear in mind when racing online is to check that you select the right player profile first before joining your race. If you have only ever raced F1s with one account you won't be used to changing this in the [Join] Dialogue box of WinVROC. If, having joined a race you do not see the setups you thought you had, you've probably picked the wrong profile."
There are 2 Utilities you can download. Unfortunately, I don't have the URL's anymore: GPL AI Tweaker - allows you to adjust the relative strength of each AI driver GPL Race Editor - allows you to change the field to all F2's or F3's (for example), or run a split-class field. (I don't believe that it supports the "Engine-swapper" classes of FD, FV, etc, though) Do a search on these names, and you hopefully should be able to find them. They work! alain lefebvre wrote: > Hi, > > I want to race with low powered cars, like if it was F2... how to > reduce the engine power of all the cars (not only mine but also the > cars of all the AI, the opponents) in GPL (the only valuable sim) ? > Thank in advance. -- Bert
