GP2: hotlaps times

3 posts by 3 people · 10 Aug 1996 - 14 Aug 1996

I would like to suggest that people make a point of identifying their control method when posting fastlap times. There is clearly a huge gap between wheel and keyboard users (and everything in be tween). Personally, I've started using the T2 and I'm quite slow. I would like to 'compete' with other wheel users times, but it is difficult to know which are which. Perhaps those who plan to run HotLap Web pages can implement this distinction? Simon
>There is clearly a huge gap between wheel and keyboard users ^^^^^^^ We had this same debate with F1GP. It may or may not be true but there was NEVER any CLEAR evidence to support this assertion. This information is being collected for lap times submitted to HOF2, and will probably be presented as part of the lap time listings in the future (at the risk of adding to the stupid "keyboard users are cheats!" versus "wheel users need to get a life" religious war). --

Same goes for setups. F.i., my setups are optimized (sorta.. ;) for analog steering and braking, but digital (on/off) acceleration. Therefore, my first gear is never shorter than 30/64, which gives less wheelspin in thight corners. If I had pedals, I would certainly change that in favor of better performance. On the other hand, fast setups for keyboard steering w/ steering help are next to impossible to use with a joystick. -- We're in a road movie to Berlin Can't drive out the way we drove in
