Re: Danish GPL'ers

Oh man..... now I have really done it..... Please reconsider your harsh decision Eldred, I have things to tell, confessions to make. The times were done at the "no damage" setting.... I did no intentional railriding, but it saved me a lot of seconds anyway, as I didn't have to start over on cold tires every time I touched one of those damnes hedges. I have allso tried GPL on and off some months ago (mostly Monza, never the Ring) so I had a pretty good idea what the game is about. The reason I never really got into GPL back then, was a lousy joystick which made the car totally uncontrollable, I knew the game was great I just could not play it :( I got a Guillemot Ferrari wheel and now I have finally gotten around to trying GPL again, so I'm not a 100 %newbie.... more like 95 % I have raced just about every arcade / sim the last few years.... Viper Racing, SCGT, NFS5, DTR, Soda, GP2, and can beat the AI in most games without to much trouble... GPL is quite a different story though, I just downloaded AITweak to slow those guys down a little ;) Just give me a month or two, and i'll be ready to do battle with you on the racetrack, but right now I'll be happy to get to number 499 in the ranking ;) Mikkel EldredP <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > In article <8jq1hp$asl$[email hidden]>, "Mikkel Gram-Hansen" > <[email hidden]> writes: > > >Looking at the times set by others I see a LOT of room for improvement,my > >first (and only) 3 laps on the ring was 9:59, 9:51 & 9:40, so I see a > >centain pattern forming there, 3 more laps and I'll be down to 9:20, 3more > >and the 9 min. barrier will be shattered by the howls of my trustyCoventry > >;) > > You did a 9:59 on your FIRST lap at the Ring?!?!?

The shame, the shame, the shame..... Fellow Danes grab your wheel and practice, we are dead last in the GPLRank Nations cup. I'm not pulling up the average myself, ranking below 500 with a handicap of 123, but I have ambitions of climbing ;) I just started playing GPL 2 days ago, almost a year after buying it (got the hardware blues) and have finished 5-10 laps practice on most of the circuits just to be able to get a ranking. Looking at the times set by others I see a LOT of room for improvement, my first (and only) 3 laps on the ring was 9:59, 9:51 & 9:40, so I see a centain pattern forming there, 3 more laps and I'll be down to 9:20, 3 more and the 9 min. barrier will be shattered by the howls of my trusty Coventry ;) Mochlos

(snipped) Those times are for your ONLY 3 runs at the Ring?! Very well done!

As things stand right now, I don't really think anybody can be said to drag the average down.... It's more like a collective effort ;) Damn the sunny weather, when it's like this outside I really can't be expected to train.... can I ??

I was running in practice mode, no damage also. I try to avoid the hedges - they tend to reach out and GRAB you...<g>

That 5% shouldn't make that big of a difference - TSW2mod, should be just as good. > >I have raced just about every arcade / sim the last few years....

Ok - the following is written in dansih :) N� alle i danske GPL racere. Der er jo flere end mand regnede med, hvilket er kanon. Vil bare lige sige at vi er en 5-6 stykker der j�vnligt, dagligt hvis muligt k�re mod hinanden over WinVROC (alle danskere vel og m�rket). Men hvis i har lyst til at brage rundt med os, s� beep mig lige p� ICQ : 43862126 Kan ogs� fort�lle at vi har i sinde at lave et dansk racing site, et samlings sted for alle danske racefreaks. Forum, downloads, nyheder, m�ske en league etc. Regner med at sitet kommer op i l�bet af August.

God ide Karsten Jeg vil dog nok ikke v�re til megen hj�lp i det n�ste lange stykke tid idet jeg ikke har mulighed for at k�re da jeg ikker er i n�rheden af min egen PC. Men det er en god ide med en dansk SIM-Portal. M�ske et paintjob til Ferrarien der ligner Den Bl� Avis Panoz fra Lemans - med Dannebrog p� kunne laves. VI snakkes Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------- Got questions? Get answers over the phone at Keen.com. Up to 100 minutes free! http://www.keen.com

Jeg fikser lige et midlertidigt site inat. Bliver med et "dingdong" forum, og liste og hvem der er med. Navn, Alias, ICQ Nr. Bil, Hjelm farve. S� er det lidt nemmere for nytilkommende at komme i kontakt med alle. Forummet kan eks, bruges til at aftale raceaften etc. Poster URL'en p� sitet engang i nat.

Dit problem er nok at du sparker for h�rdt til den! Start *LANGSOMT* og brems i *GOD TID*! Bilerne har (havde?) s� latterligt meget kraft at der ikke skal meget til f�r de l�ber l�bsk. Pr�v at k�re i de to forskellige tr�nings-modeller. De har (st�rkt) begr�nset kraft, og er MEGET nemmere at have med at g�re. Husk endelig at l�se bogen der fulgte med spillet, den forklarer rimeligt fornuftigt hvordan du skal k�re (jeg tror jeg har l�st den 4-5 gange og jeg er stadig en klovn til setups!). Hvis bogen er blevet v�k(!) tror jeg nok du stadig kan f� spillet til 99,95 hos din lokale Bog & id� forretning. Pr�v Lyngby eller R�dovre (hvad der nu er n�rmest!) - hvis de ikke har det kan de sikkert skaffe det. Husk: BOGEN ER BIBLEN! > > En anden ting: N�r starten g�r kan jeg simpelthen ikke f�lge med "de > andre". N� "klampen g�r i bund" skal der f�rst skiftes til 1.gear (auto > gearbox)...og s� er alle andre v�k.... > Er der en "anti-good-AI" patch? Sikkert nok, men hvor fedt er det? Koncentr�r dig i f�rste omgang om at styre bilen - l�bene kommer f�rst senere! Pr�v eventuelt manuelt gear - du kan starte i f.eks. 1. eller 2. gear, hvilket neds�tter risikoen for hjulspin. HUSK! Acceler�r langsomt! > Eller skal jeg glemme det hele og koncentrere mig om Rally Masters? Det > g�r _meget_ bedre... har vundet nogle l�b online...:) Nu kender jeg ikke lige Rally Masters, men det ville v�re en skam at smide GPL p� hylden. Det indeholder S� meget og f�les s� fedt n�r du begynder at kunne 'f�le' bilen!
