F1GP2: Car is too reliable ???

3 posts by 3 people · 29 Aug 1996 - 01 Sep 1996

Hi everybody, After playing GP2 for some time now, I found that the car I usually drive (Ligier) is way too reliable. I am doing a championship round and is now in Hockenheim. So far the only reliability problem I had is a lose wheel. Is there any editor out there for changing the reliability level? Thanks.

>Hi everybody, >After playing GP2 for some time now, I found that the car I usually drive >(Ligier) is way too reliable Too true ... I have used the GP2DAMED patch in the hope that fewer miraculous recoveries eventuate when AI cars spin off into walls or into each other, and then carry on regardless and seemingly undamaged. I have blown up an engine in practice, otherwise no problems of any sort (though I have to say watching the engine burn with 'me' sitting there seemingly quietly knitting instead of leaping out and running for cover is a little odd). However, the GP2DAMED patch does not affect reliability, and finishing a race with 22 of the 26 still going is more than a bit unrealistic .. if you are leading (or near to the front) you spend a lot of time picking your way through a rather crowded circuit. It's like a continuous opening lap. Then again, if you are towards the back (after spinning off yet again), it's the same story with traffic ... at least you never feel lonely. In GP1, if I was doing particularly badly, I could spend half a race without seeing another car. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Sanders Wellington New Zealand ... absolutely, positively nuclear-free, and absolutely OS/2 Warped. ---------------------------------------------------------------
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Heru Anggono Hariati Interesting point... whichever car you choose has the same characteristics as the Williams FW16. This means even Simtek or Minardi can win a GP. Would it have been better if GC had given each team a performance/reliability level, to give you the opportunity to drag a low-level team up the constructor's table, or is it better this way - after all, everyone wants to win a race, not just finish 5 places higher than you qualified. -- David Keaveny http://www.keaveny.demon.co.uk \\\ \\\\\\__o "Life is like a sewer - what you get out of it depends on \\\\\\'/ what you put into it" - Tom Lehrer
