Monza win (21 laps) AND GPL still crashing

2 posts by 2 people · 27 Nov 1998 - 28 Nov 1998

default setup for the Lotus with a reduced fuel load (of course), and I managed very consistent laptimes (19 of the 21 laps were within half a second of each other -- 1:29.98 to 1:30.47). I started from pole only to drop to 3rd at the start. Five laps later I passed Jimmy for the lead and went on to finish 2secs ahead of him. However, I'm still getting frequent crashes (computer lock-ups that is, not car crashes - although I still get some of them too, especially at the Ring). There seems to be a "Access Violation" and I am getting complete lock ups. I was lucky to finish a 21 lap race. I had attempted one earlier on last nite, only to have the computer lock up on the 12th lap while 1sec behind the leader... arrrrg!! Is anyone else out there experiencing these problems? Well, ...... I wonder if I can do the full distance without crashing? Hmmmm..... Paul

You'll never know unless you TRY, right?<g> I'm jealous of your 1:29-1:30s with the default Lotus. I can't get past 1:32 with the default EAGLE, but I can't DRIVE the Lotus... :( Oh well, back to the track. At least I don't have to PAY for the cars I've destroyed... Eldred
