when you bring up the options (F1 key) it says "shift - t" is telltale restart but it never does anything when i do that and the manual mentions it but doesn't say what it does either. anyone know? thanks Mike Lewis

It resets the telltale on the tach (the red needle that shows your peak RPM). - Eric

The little red line on the tach that shows how fast(RPMs) the engine has turned is the "telltale" It is there to give the crew chief, engineer, car owner, or etc. a reason to yell at the driver for overrevving, and blame him/her for problems in the prep, design, purchase error, or etc of the car/engine. We used to call 'em "tattletales" I use it in the game/sim as a sort of redline, eg don't rev that high. Brian

[what is telltale restart] Why is it there? I mean, we have no Skip Barber racing instructor who will yell at us for overrevving. :) -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.

Check out http://gpl.gamestats.com in the Files section is a paintjob of the 1967 RA273 HONDA. It worked for the demo not sure about the full version. You may need to extract the bitmaps and then re-insert them for the Mura. Thanks John There is a Honda paintjob

Thanks John, but it is based on the Brabham whereas the Murasama is based on the Gurney "Eagle". > Check out http://gpl.gamestats.com in the Files section is a paintjob of the > 1967 RA273 HONDA. It worked for the demo not sure about the full
