You can change your pit location by editing the track.ini that's located in each tracks folder. Below you can find the relevant lines I use for the Ring. ;stall_0 = 230.00 0 ; original pit stall ;stall_0 = 19200.00 0 ; start of long straight ;stall_0 = 11200.00 0 ; halfway stall_0 = 13200.00 0 ; a bit before caroussel stall_1 = 219.47 -9.30 stall_2 = 208.95 -9.30 stall_3 = 198.42 -9.30 stall_4 = 187.89 -9.30 Stall_0 is the one you need to change to start anywhere on the track. First number is where your pit is located on the track (in meters), the second number is for the left/right position of your pit relative to the middle of the track.

Is it quite good or quite bad ?? But i know i can still "win" a lot of seconds in Ring, so my next goal is to pass under the 80.00. BTW, is there a way to avoid the first "out of pit" lap in Ring ?? Because i hate to waste 9 mins for nothing before try to beat my PB only at the second lap.

I've had the game for two months and am getting close to negative (currently +5.08). >But i know i can still "win" a lot of seconds in Ring, Yes, this is where you'll gain a lot of time. You need to be getting somewhere in the 8:20's if you wish to go negative. >so my next goal is to pass under the 80.00. Good luck. Bendito;

Ok, but when i know that the clock isn't working, i am not concrentated, and i make mistakes. It's only when i know that the clock "works" that i drive in my max in order to explode my previous best lap. > > -- > Olav K. Malmin > remove spam when replying >

BTW, i saw that some people have a "negativ" (ex: -25.65) GPL Rank handicap. So, that's means that they are better than the Papyrus team ???? Olav K. Malmin <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : [email hidden]...

I mean one month and he is at 93! I have been > doing this for at least a year and I am at 95.55! ARG! Now, i was at 92.34 !!!! I was in the GPL Rank web site. You can look, i am around the 850e-890e best drivers of GPL in the world !! BTW, thanks to all the guys in this NG to make me give a second chance to GPL. I tried the demo 2 years ago and without the D3D patch and others stuffs, I didn't like this sim. Now, it's my best sim ever and i even didn't play anymore the others games i have like GP3 and F1 2000. Since 1 month, if i count the % part of my racing games, here is it: GPL 90 % of my "racing games" time. Rally 2000 5 % GP3, F1 2000, SCGT, GP500, etc.......the others 5 % I have a MS FFSW but my best laps with it at GPL are, in average, 10 % slower than with my MS Sidewinder gamepad. Pretty weird, uh ???

83.53 after being at it for 4 days (okay, that's for the half-dozen I'd never driven before, but countless laps at the Glen and Monza). But that still leaves me 901st. 750-800 is still a ways off. And Eldred, I think you are safe from me. Also, just (FINALLY) scored a sub-9 at the 'Ring. It really does help to drive the other tracks. I've learned how to be a lot smoother. As with many, Monza is the only track I've beaten the Papy team on (I'm sure they are a lot faster now). I'm amazed at how fast some of these other guys & gals are.
