GPL Rank and F3/F2 or others?

I have found it rather difficult to see where I stand with other F3/F2 drivers on GPL Rank. The Nations cup shows the times, when you click on those times it brings up all of the people in that country not just the F3. I was just hoping to see it listed with just the F3 drivers so that I could see that I was very low on the list instead of having to look at the complete list. I am also unable to locate all 46 F3 drivers on the list. Would it be possible to add this in the multiple-choice hell? I guess maybe a new field would assist with this one for Type: with the choices being F1, F2, F3, and maybe FD and FG? Please do not take this a negative, I love the GPL Rank site and am trying to improve my times accordingly. Or maybe with only 47 people posting F3 times it is not worth you time?

The way I understand it.. GPLRank reads your driver.ini files from your player directory searching for each track name. All that's needed is to have it also read the DriversRating=x. (x is..F1=3 F2=2 F3=1). This I know from personal experience would give bad records because I've many times entered a GP only race with my F3 driver with out thinking. I'd have no problem doing another round on all the tracks with a new F3 player.ini. (My F3 file is currently correct, just not up to date) I think I mentioned this to the site before. I can't remember why they didn't want to do that though. "Steve Garrotto" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

The last time this was mentioned the official response was that since there were relatively few F3 drivers on GPLRAnk it would be easier to create a buddy list with the F3 drivers than to add an F3 feature to MCH. Basically, it wasn't high on the list of things to do ;). Hopefully with more F2 and F3 drivers on GPLRank, it will move up the list. Unfortunately when creating an F3 buddy list, it isn't easy to locate all the drivers because some only have "F3" in their login and not in their name and the search function is hit limited. I've found 42 F3 drivers; want to compare lists? Ken PS I do appreciate all the work that has gone into GPLRAnk. Mike Barlow wrote:

Ken! I was wondering if you'd left GPL-world. Haven't seen you on VROC for a while.

Actually Roger you are partially to blame for ending a co-workers social life thanks to you providing a copy of GPL (I have yet to inform him of the life altering path he has embarked on ;). I've been around Rob, but the Regulars league is about to start it's first season and that's been keeping me fairly busy. But if you feel like some F3 practice sometime, I'll let you know when and where. Ken Roger Squires wrote: > > Ken!

You've basically answered the question Steve, and now with some F2/F3 people muddying up the database with engine swapped times, there are even less pure F2/F3 accounts. Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

This would be rather easy to implement. Please let me know and I'll see what can be done.

If you implement a script that shows f2 / f3 drivers only, would it be too much trouble to make a list of only f1 drivers ? Thanks again for the great GPL Rank! -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying

Thank you so much, ask and receive!!! Now after I thank and say how nice you are . . . The gankings it gives are not correct. or at least for me it is showing me at 476.50 when I am at 431.82. The order looks right just not the handicap number. or did I miss something. Thanks again for the addition of this to GPLRank and I was very pleased to see it last night!

Thanks for pointing this out Steve, obviously a bug. If you select Country(USA) as well as F3, it does come up with your correct rank of 431, but it screws up when asking for the entire F3 list. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.
