Is it possible to use a ghost lap as an actual replay lap? I am unable to load any ghost laps in the Replay screen, although I can see the files in the directory f1rs\f1datab\scope. Keith. -- !!! remove _ANTISPAM from e-mail address when replying !!!

Thats because ghost laps are *not* the same as replays! To run a ghost lap you must be in time attack mode, go to the screen before you actually start racing. You should see the button to go to the car settings and a button for ghost laps on the bottom left of the screen, select this button and then highlight the ghost lap you want to see, then start driving and the ghost car will be there as you cross the start line. 8?) *Peter* 8-)

Peter, I know ghost laps are NOT replays, but can you reuse a ghost lap as a replay lap? They are both seq files, are they actually both in the same format? Keith. -- !!! remove _ANTISPAM from e-mail address when replying !!!

You'd think so wouldn't you? Certainly would enhance F1RS. I was suprised to see that replays are only enabled under certain conditions like races. Dunno why they did this.
