There is a program that will do this for you, and if you plow through your read.me files I believe you can do it by editing yourself. But think about it Erwan, it's a sim, not an arcade game, and your racing the best F1 drivers of the era. Do you think you should be beating them at this stage? As you get better you will eventually be able to win against them, better to leave it as a challenge. Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

Well, that wouldn't help me with the pit lane speed limit, because I'm not at max. revs. But it would help me estimate what my speed is on the track. Actually, I don't even know what the lines on the tach stand for. I mean, is 5000 rpm at the 9 o'clock position, 7 o'clock, what?

Actually, you'll get used to judging your speed based on the engine sound fore each gear. I've gotten to where I turn off the speedometer in all my other games now.

Stirling descriibes all his cars and refers to revcounter readings all the time. You know in what gear you are and you can read the revcounter. Then you can calculate/estimate the speed (provided ther is now wheelspin). You can use the replays to provide some fixed points (read the speed just before upshifting and you know what the speed is at max rev in the xth gear). Then you can quite accurately estimate your speed. grtngs, hgrm (Skoda Felicia: 4000 rpm in 5th = 130 km/h)

Get some dashes from that GPL Spares Factory site... they look great and you can read the tachs on those, even in 640x480!! http://129.100.29.86/gpl/ Jan. =--- EldredP wrote...
