And if you're worried about it being cheating, apparently the longest track, which I won't attempt to spell, does this anyway. rob. >I NEVER use cheats but there IS a specific cheat that I would like to have for >GPL if anyone knows how to accomplish it. >The cheat would be a way to show my most recent lap time upon passing the >start/finish line. >Even though it would not be authentic it would not disturb the sim feel to me >at all. >Anybody else like to see this implemeted?

I NEVER use cheats but there IS a specific cheat that I would like to have for GPL if anyone knows how to accomplish it. The cheat would be a way to show my most recent lap time upon passing the start/finish line. Even though it would not be authentic it would not disturb the sim feel to me at all. Anybody else like to see this implemeted?
I think it's a bit problematic, as the pit boards come up before you cross the start/finish line. Nurburgring, I understand, does show "simultaneous" lap times, though I haven't gotten that far yet. Of course, you start your first lap past the start/finish line, so you won't get a time till your second time round.

Yes ,there is a way to do it,and someone has already post it here on ras for the demo monza track. In the tracks folder ,on each track folder there's a file called track.ini where there is a parameter(pitboard) with the pitboard coordinates.you just have to play with them and place it after the start/finish line.I did it in the monza demo and it worked perfectly. Come on fanatics,give us the right coordinates for each track. PS: in monza the modified coordinate was the "y" one. Rafael Dksilver escreveu na mensagem
Yes, I would like this as an option...perhaps to be discretely displayed in some of that expansive black area at the top of the screen. I would also like to see a speed display a la N2 (you could put it up there too). Optional, and not authentic, but then flying around Monza at 300 km/h with no steering feedback isn't authentic either.

Here's a hint... Check out your track.ini files in every directory found for the tracks.. In this file you have this line : pit_board = 9.0 3953.4 -100.0 100.0 ; dlat of board, dlong of board, dlong LOS start, dlong LOS end (last 2 not used) As you can see, this is the line to edit. I wouldn't suggest to edit the rest... still.. The first numbers are the Latitude and longitude of the board (from what I see where the board guy is on the track). The 2 other numbers are the longitude when the pit board appears and the last is when it disappears. Of course.. take for instance that the track longitude/latitude is took as if you take the whole track and stretch it to a X-axis.

I wouldn't call it a cheat, it was posted several months ago at the Apex, I used it for a while, can't recall what file was modified, keep trying-it's out there!
