Re: GPL, is there a digital timing program for it?

You can edit the track.ini file to move the pitboard to after the start/finish line. I can't remember the exact line but it was mentioned a couple of weeks ago. You could use www.remarq.com or www.deja.com to search through back posts.

Im sick of waiting for the pitboard to come up in gpl to show me my lap times Is there a utility to allow for F1 type digital lap imformation running in game? I would make hot lapping so much more fun.

I don't think anyone ever came up with coordinates for all the tracks. Or did they? I never saw a solution for Watkins Glen for instance. Someone posted pitboard coordinates for only about half the tracks I think, and they were using trial and error to figure out the rest, unless I missed something. -- <remove 7of9 for e-mail replies> -- Bill Jones e-mail addresses: Computer Sciences Corp.

Don't take this the wrong way, but if we're trying to simulate the 60s, you shouldn't have that facility should you? Dan <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:t4cR4.13560$[email hidden]...

Here are a few courtesy of Mark Aisthorpe Kyalami pit_board = 9.0 250.0 -100.0 100.0 Mexico pit_board = 6.4 221.6 -100.0 100.0 Monza pit_board = 21.0 275.0 -100.0 100.0 Silverstone pit_board = 7.0 259.0 -100.0 100.0

Using that line of reasoning you're in danger of falling into the DGF conundrum which inevitably leads to "have you ever driven a 67 F1 car?" Personally I think it's fine to mess with everything in GPL except driving model. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like a mod to add some downforce and make the tyres wider, but that way lies madness, especially for online racing. Why's that guy half a lap ahead after 1 lap? :-) Andrew McP

OMG, LOL, a '67 steamroller? That's why there are no bumps in GPL tracks ... -Gregor

Is this a new attempt to thwart Surtees? If so, does it work? Cheers Phil -- http://www.youpies.co.uk

Hi Don I will get round to working out the other track's, but I've been having to much fun with GPL on my new system. I finally got rid of my old steam box of a P233MMX V2 and built me a Celery 533 V3 3000. GPL's awesome now, I can finally race against the AI instead of just hot lapping, I've even tried a bit of on-line, but got to do a bit more tweaking with DUN's and stuff yet. But I will work out the other track's, promise. (said with everything crossed and firmly biting tongue) Mark P.S. Before I get raided by the grammar police : ) I know my spelling and grammar are terrible. Sometimes makes me wish I paid more attention at school.

Hey Mark, glad you got some new gear and look forward to seeing you online. Don't know if it's of any help but I realized that when you use SpyGirl to make extract Spots for syncronizing replays, it generates a number for the exact point where you raised your arm to mark the spot and then records it in SpyGirl.ini under the track name. If these are the same numbers that are used in the Track.ini files it might be a useful way of finding the number for the pitboard spot, just a thought. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.
