Would someone be so kind as to give me the additions for F2 & F3 in GPL?
Thanks MILO

Milo,
Not sure what you mean but :
F2 = Advanced Trainer
F3 = Trainder
Although denoted as "Trainers" these are actually formulas in their
own right.
It's best to create a new player profile when you run them as a) you
will then get your times stored and b) you can actually then race
the AI in F2/F3.
To do this (and read other good stuff) go to Alisons site :
http://simracing.com/alison/gpl/
The F2 bit of interest is :
5.3 Why can't I race against the AI while driving a Trainer?
Actually, you can. You have to change one small item in your
player.ini file. I recommend you create a new player just for racing
in each of the Trainers. For example, I have three drivers: Alison
Hine (for the GP car), Ali-F2 Hine (for the Advanced Trainer), and
Ali-F3 (for the Basic Trainer).
Once you've created the extra player or two, open the GPL players
folder (by default, C:\SIERRA\gpl\players) and then open the folder
for one of the training players. For example, I would open
C:\SIERRA\gpl\players\Hine__Ali-F2. Now, using a text editor, edit the
file called player.ini.
Look for a parameter called driverRating. It's in the [ Personal
Information ] stanza. Change the value of driverRating to 2 for the
Advanced Trainer, or 1 for the Basic Trainer.

Make a new driver for the new class (add F2 to the end of the name for easy
selection). Then go to your GPL directory, then to the player folder, then
the folder of the driver you just made (something like JohnsonF2__Milo)...in
that folder open up the player.ini file. Scroll down until you see the
heading [ Personal Information]. In that section, there is something that
will say driverRating = 3. Change that number to 2 if you want the driver
to be an F2 driver. If you make an F3 driver, just make another driver with
F3 in the name (for easy reference) and change the number in the player.ini
file to 1. Save the changes and you are set.
