Has any one heard of or discovered a solution to the black sky problem (happens on Melbourne and Argentina at least when you quit one session and re-enter it). I was hoping the 2 patches might have solved it but no luck. I do know it only happens when you have variable weather but in expert mode you can't alter the weather to sunny only. Thanks in advance. Dean
No solution yet! It's not just Melbourne and Argentina. In my Championship run so far, Melbourne was OK, but Brazil, Argentina, and Nurburgring were totally in the dark! Thinks went back to normal at Imola, and everything is OK at Monaco! Maybe the next patch? >Has any one heard of or discovered a solution to the black sky problem >(happens on Melbourne and Argentina at least when you quit one session and >re-enter it).

How are you doing so far in the championship? Which level are you running? And which car? I run in level 2 (McLaren) and won the first 3 races. At the Nurburgring it was a second place just 7 seconds behind Hill. I could have won that one but lost my nose two times... Johnny > No solution yet! It's not just Melbourne and Argentina.

Damage = Realistic Gearbox = Automatic Anti-Skid = Yes Anti-Spin = Yes ABS = Yes Steering Help = No Failures = All on Yes Competitors = 21 Competitors Realistic Laps = 100% Relative Usage = Yes Rules = All on Yes Won Monaco yesterday. Lapped number 2 two times... I dont say Im a very good driver. I only say Level 2 is easy. When the championship is over I will move to Level 3. Johnny

What _really_ makes the championship easy is having the ABS and traction control turned 0n - turn 'em off and then see how "easy" it is... :-) Cheers! John

Absolutely John, too many people out there are complaining this game is too easy at Ace, lapping everyone at Monte Carlo. To you guys : go out there and win with no aids, hell, even score points, then you are worthy of respect. To win in the wet sans aids...

Yes, driving with aids on is like Quake "God Mode"....strictly for LAMERS. Ben Sides

Probably ex keyboard GP2 geeks! For those running at Ace level with aids - YOU ARE PITIFUL!
