Solitude Ferrari setups?

I know you're all going to tell me just go experiment yourself but I'm really hopeless at it. I think Solitude is an amazing track and I'm amazed at the speed of some guy's racing in Vroc. Even if someone could tell me a few tweak's to do to the default setups it would be great. Thank's New here. ----------------------------------------------------------- Got questions?

The default Solitude setups were created by Marc Mercer and are very good as they are. Marc holds the best Solitude lap on my computer at 3:25.xx, done with the Ferrari. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C. GPLRank -5.09 Come see how you rank, at the GPLRank site http://gplrank.schuerkamp.de/

Anyway, not the reason for this post. Where do these DEFAULT setups come from? i.e. where are they stored? must be in the track .dat file I assume? I was also wondering about the AI, is that "programmed" in some way into the .dat? does the global hype system work with add-on track?, boy, so many questions when I come to think. Finally, not found any Solitude replays around so posted my initial 3:44 (a fortunate 5th lap) in the binary ng, would sure like to see Marc's 3:25, any chance you could post that there.

Solitude Replays found at http://www.simracingmag.com/, including Marc's WR 3:25.18 in a Ferrari. Randy On Wed, 09 Aug 2000 19:27:04 +0100, MaXX <[email hidden]> wrote: <snip> >... would sure like to see Marc's 3:25, any chance you could post that there. > >TIA > >MaXX

Of course I don't trust anything I feel these days now that I'm using CH pedals and LFBing. I was all over the place with the Lotus (which is the car I'm most used to) but the Eagle worked a little better. Chris --who must be in a manic phase

Depends when it's happening. Try softing the rear anti rollbar. If it's coming around under braking move the brake bias forward(increase the number) Go to Alisons page and download and install GPL Race Engineer, it's an excellent read on car setup. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

If you go to Schubi's hotlaps site, at: http://www.parc-ferme.de/fastlaps.htm you'll see that the WR is now 3:23.24, by... well, well, well, if it isn't that nice Mr Huttu again.

Thanks, I've got GPLRE just never looked at it. Opportunity knocks. Hold on, I think I'm going to get that :-) I should add that my old credo of never trusting anyone under 30 has changed to never trusting anyone under papy's benchmarks :))) Chris --who is going to get a signature someday, really.
