Re: New bug discovered in GPL

Thank god! I was even starting to wonder if it might be my driving. What a relief... I've devised a workaround that consists of accelerating sharply just before the chicane and contacting the back of Guy Ligier's Brabham, which will quite often carry you over the chicane. Thanks Markus! Markus Stiepel wrote:

I've got a work-around for that bug. In the SRM Pro race yesterday, I shaved off a couple of my wheels with the guardrail when I ran wide exiting the tunnel, and the Cooper fit through the chicane just fine. Hope that works for you too. -A Markus Stiepel <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8dc66q$6lo$[email hidden]... > Hi freaks, > just thought I might let you know: > Whilst doing some practise-laps in Monaco for a league-event, I noticedthat

Well what do you know. I'd been considering using 2CV wheels to see if I could get through. I'm so relieved that the bug has been made public. Well done Markus!!

I believe there is a slight discrepancy in the collision volumes for some (all?) of the cars, meaning that the wheels are physically larger than they are graphically. Ages ago someone made a fix for this, but I can't remember who, when or where... OTOH, that chicane is damn small! Phil Markus Stiepel wrote:

Brake, aim, give it gas and hope for the best. And if that fails, there's always afterlife...

They fit alright... Just head down to your local body shop see if they can't take some width off...........Bug LOL!!!! Paul Alesi "David L.

My Murasama fits through it just fine. Hmmm......

Right you are. Jens On Sun, 16 Apr 2000 12:53:17 +0200, "Markus Stiepel" <[email hidden]> wrote:
