Anyone aware of this crash bug, that when 2 cars run into each other, and the following car his front wheel hits the lead car his rear wheel from the back, that the leading car his back is launched into the air instead of that following car that must be launched into the air like in real life. Gp2 models this properly and it looks like they modelled it the other way around in GPL, I am not saying that GP2 is better because of this, I know GPL is far superior and don't consider GP2 a true sim but it models this issue better than GPL. If you think about it the GPL way doesn't make sense imagine 2 rolling wheels that follow each other and the following wheel hits the leading wheel then the following wheel tries to run over the leading wheel and the leading wheel is also helping this while it is rolling in the same direction. This issue always bothered me in GPL since day 1 and it looks like nobody else noticed this and I hope Papy fix this some day.

I think its time (GPL2...) that debris of crashed cars are treated like objects in sims. If you drive over debris, its should caused damage too, especially big pieces like tires and so on...

Its actually nice with a little nudge and all that but I hate when the AI plough into you from behind.

I've seen it happen the way you suggest it should. Once at Mosport my front wheel touched the rear wheel of the AI car in front and climbed up the back of it, got loose and came back down. We both just kept driving on. It was perfect. Tom NTR wrote;

GP3 will feature that and I'm pretty sure WSC will do it too. Karl Zosel <[email hidden]> schreef in berichtnieuws w_Z45.12457$[email hidden]...
