GP3: Accelerator always on (need clutch?)

I just noticed another poster with the same problem. The car is always supplying power when in gear, eg, when in first with no accelerator, the car does 33kms by itself. This makes it hard when you want to spin turn quickly after spinning and the car is contiuously supplying power when you don't want it. Is this just me, or GP3? If I use the clutch, do I have to use it with all gear changes or just when I want it to (ala GPL?) BTW, GP3 has it's problems but it is still hte best outthere (can't wait for this upgrade to come out...) Book.

Yep - same here. Drop into Neutral, peg the throttle, and then hit 1st and you should do OK. Have you tried the FPS and GPx patches? Brought my interest back to F1 simming... HTH, Kendt

However I eyed a $240 GF2 Ultra 64MB at newegg and it proved too much to resist. I will be again loading up GP3, point me to these patches anyone?

Unless you ran single chip mode, or enabled FSAA the game was slower. Check www.bhmotorsports.com, I think they have links to both utils. HTH, Kendt

What's this? I thought that was done long ago with a driver patch. If not let me know, I didn't know there was a GP3 specific problem, I am dual chip 24/7 for all other games, DeusEx and CS run very fast, GPL is pegged at 36 and N4 at 75 alone or 30-45 in traffic but the FPS util seemed to do some good though it was a bit hard to find. Only at 40% proc occu at 800x600 near max now, up goes the res and FPS util setting.

In GP3s controller setup if you set the clutch to use gear change, you can activate the clutch by holding the gearchange button in. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers> "John Book" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3b1307d0$[email hidden]... > I just noticed another poster with the same problem. > The car is always supplying power when in gear, eg, when in first with no > accelerator, the car does 33kms by itself.

You have to clutch it before doing a dohnut, hold the shifter paddle, rev the bejazas out of it and let go.

What I do is force a loss of traction, i.e. I jam my foot on the floor and turn the steering wheel sharply. It hasn't failed yet. The creeping forward is called tickover and yes you do need a clutch to stop it. Good luck finding a wheel with one. Chris GraDee <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:WSQQ6.44$[email hidden]...

Holding the gearshift acts as a clutch. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers> "Chris" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9f3tj6$k6l$[email hidden]... > What I do is force a loss of traction, i.e. I jam my foot on the floor and > turn the steering wheel sharply.

In "Driving Aids", are you using "Throttle Help"? If yes then even with "Accelerate/Brake - Low Sensitivity Zone" =0 the car will continue or drive.
