I am having some minor problems with the car setups in Hawaii and would
appreciate any help. I find that I am consistantly 7 or 8 mph behind the
leaders on qualifying and during the race. I ran a race last night where
I qualified 6th and finished 2nd, but that was with a set configuration.
That seems to tell me that setup is the problem. I have read through the
NASCAR manual (yes I did buy the game - the day it was released) and have
set the car up and achieved 194mph laps at Taledaga off-line, but on-line
I go right back to 187. Don't know what I am missing here. Please feel
free to reply with suggestions, or mail me some awesome setups for the
car. I know these are top-secret, but I can hardly be perceived as a
threat for some length of time.

: NASCAR.EXE...there is a difference. MULTI.EXE can be started from the command line
: in much the same manner as NASCAR.
How can one do this unless they connect with someone else or Hawaii?

When you run the MULTI.exe instead of NASCAR.exe you have two options to race. One is a
Multi-player race with a modem opponent and the other is preseason testing. Even though
you will be the only car on the track, preseason testing allows you to tweak setups of use
on-line. Also before joining a race on-line, use the F4 (or is it F3?) key to see the
race's settings. You will be able to see not only what other racers are currently joined,
but you can see that temperature and wind as well. Weather can effect setups to a certain
degree (no pun intended).

rec.autos.simulators.hawaii anyone?

Give me Indycar anyday
It is better than seeing endless posts about a F1 game that is not even
out yet (and might never be). If you don't want to read about Hawaii,
don't.

Ouch, THAT was a rude slam. <g>
BTW- I just read this newsgroup offline and delete all those pesky F1,
GP2, etc. posts.... <g>
Phil
I'd rather read posts about GP2 forevermore than hear another "I was
running second right, and some newbie decided.......<yaaaaaaaaawn>".
There's a Hawaii mailing list where you can exchange war stories!

That sounds like a good idea. My vote is a definite YES.

+358-81-5507134 This is a witty quote. Really.
Someone Admin type person running a news server sets one up. The
newsgroup will then become available to all other servers on the internet.

I would have to agree, although it is all quite interesting it is
starting to take over the newsgroup. There is nothing stopping us
reading it as well if interested.
BTW maybe we can get a new newsgroup for GP2 started, maybe
REC.AUTOS.YOU.MUST.BE.KIDDING or REC.AUTOS.NEXT.MONTH or ....... you
get the idea!!
Later,
Anthony

Well since I wont want to read about GP2 if it is ever realeased, you
might as well make a GP2 newsgroup also. You see, this is a SIMULATORS
news group. So, what you will read about is whats hot at any given
time. Right now, Hawaii is hot. So grin and bear it, or don't read
anything with "Hawaii" in the title.
