GPL Hotlapping Help

3 posts by 3 people · 24 Jan 1999 - 25 Jan 1999

Hi folks! Is there any patch for GPL which allows me to put in fuel for one lap and renew this filling everytime I cross Start-Finish (this was implemented in F1RS and very handy for hotlapping as for my point, I need rythm for decent laptimes, and getting back to the pits after 3 laps plus driving a warm-up-lap everytime thereafter is annoying)? Greetings Markus
Try putting fuel in for say 7-8 laps. Tyre temp is more important than fuel load IMHO Don't like the idea of a patch for this for 2 reasons Danger of effects on on-line racing (there is no hot-lap option in GPL as in F1RS) Realism - Papyrus have gone to great lengths to model the changing conditions (tyre temps, engine temp, fuel load etc.) - a common fuel load for each lap would make this a waste of time. The next patch would maintain tyre temps at optimum level and so on. Keep it as it is! Cheers Tony

Hi Markus... hate to say it, but you just have to go out with about 3 or 4 gallons to make 5-10 laps at any given track. It works well. Why? because you need to warm your tires anyway, so (at the Glen for instance) you need 2 to 3 laps for tire warming. Then, when they are at their optimum, your gas load will be low too. It works for me. -dave schwabe "if you're in control, you're not going fast enough" -- Parnelli Jones.
