I've downloaded a few hot lap replays off the net but they go complelty AWOL
after about 1/3rd of the lap. It's as if the car is getting ahead of itself
and thinks it's further up the track than it really is. For example at Spa
the car will try to turn into Les Combs about 800 meters before the corner
and promptly crashes into the barriers. Sometimes the cars will even start
to go the wrong way down the track. This doesn't happen with my own Hot-laps
mind you.
I think it's because my PC always runs under 100% occupancy even at 25fps
and the hot lap replays from other machines just get out of sinc when played
at less than 100% occupancy. I tried this out on my second slower PC and
found that I can only relpay hotlaps if I get over 100% occupnacy.
Does this happen to you too? and is there a way to fix it?

The hotlaps you downloaded are designed for use with the ORIGINAL tracks. If
you are using modified tracks or updated tracks, the hotlaps will mess up.
Return to using the original tracks and the hotlaps will work.
Not strictly speaking true. What is correct is "if you have a different
track set to the ones used to create the hotlaps, it will go tits up!
In order to see hotlaps correctly, you must be using the same track set as
the person creating the hotlaps. I have an updated set of tracks. If you
were to look at any of my hotlaps and you were using the original track set,
then it would go tits up!

I am using the original tracks. I've tried it out with a brand new install.
It's something to do with the low occupancy on my PC. I can run htolpas no
problem if i slow the PC down so the occpancy is above 100%.
