Has anyone any idea how to conduct a spin turn as in GP2??? I have yet to discover how to master this technique, if it exists. Needless to say, I spend a lot of time spinning off at the moment. Just cannot get the hang of this game yet. I honestly think the manual sucks along with the game menus. Not very user friendly at all. I'll keep trying anyway Gary Young

You need to turn off the driver aids, then you can spin the car. It is more difficult to spin on the grass because of the hilarious molasses effect. The car physics are not quite up to GP2 standards, but the car does respond more to setup changes. Now, if only Ubisoft would release a patch that implements accurate performance on the grass. Actually, a patch that fixes the original problems (no mirrors in ghost mode, no sound in replay) without slowing up the frame rate would be enough for me. Keith.

Provided GP2 is correct; JV said that Gp2 had a good layout of Spa but the car modeling wasn't so hot... New patches (since 1.05??) have sound in replays. Jeff
: > I honestly think the manual sucks along with the game menus. Not very user : > friendly at all. I agree completely.. absolutely useless manual, worst ive seen, i STILL dont know what those little arrows and circles at the bottom of the garage screen for setups do (the ones with 'before race' and 'race' written on) .. ive asked here before and nobody answered.. does ANYBODY know?? this is just one of the mysterys that the manual doesnt cover.. also what does the 'steering limit' in the control setup screen do??? : difficult to spin on the grass because of the hilarious molasses effect. The car : physics are not quite up to GP2 standards, but the car does respond more to : setup changes. that ***y grass is SOOO annoying.. also it is incredible how it seems whenever you spin you always end up facing backwards.. and its very hard to spin the car 180 when you actually try.. but then again gp2 was exactly the same.. adrian -- "... and the Information Superhighway gave us all the chance to find out what some nerd thinks about Star Trek" - Homer Simpson

When you run in Grand Prix mode, you have two setups available to you, "before race" and "race." The "before race" setup is used during practice and time trials, and the "race" setup is used only during the race. Note that the game automatically selects your "before race" setup for practice and time trials and your "race" setup for the actual race; you don't need to click any buttons to specify this. When you load a setup, it only goes into one of these, either "before race" or "race" (I can't recall which one, and you can't specify which one). You can then use the arrows to transfer individual settings from one setup to the other. Yes, you must transfer them one at a time. Ideally, you'd like to have to the option of which setup you load into so you can load up separate "before race" and "race" setups, but this isn't possible. One nice feature of the arrows is that you can scrub a set of "before race" tires during practice by running a lap or two on them and then transfer this scrubbed set to your race setup so you start the race with scrubbed tires instead of fresh slippery tires. The "steering limit" control is only used if you drive with the keyboard. -- Kevin (Remove the "x-" prefix from my address in order to reply via email)
> The "steering limit" control is only used if you drive with the keyboard. Does this have any effect at all if your using a wheel Kevin?
