GPL Setup Tool...

Guys, Dane Johnson has a very neat tool for Nascar Racing called NRHQ. You can download it from http://www.vii.com/~danej/ The software allows you to :check lap times, view replays, and chart them, and my favorite "tweak setups". It takes suggestions from you the driver such as "loose entering corners", "pushing in middle of turn", etc. and gives you choices of what could be wrong with the selected setup. You then go and apply the change and the software even writes a new setup with that singular change in it. You can then go out and try it and if it still needs something else you can continue on this way until it feels right. My question is, "how many people here would be interested in a version of this for GPL?"

I raise my hand in class for this.!! It worked OK for me in N2, why not GPL? "ZZ" -- Official member IGPS (Internet Grand Prix Series) And Sim Racing Mag Ferrari Challenge ---------------- Busch Motorsports "Remember racecar is racecar spelled backward" ----------------- Busch Carpentry "Plans?"

Sign me up too!!!! Boy what a help this would be for us newbies. Joe

I'd pay $25 American dollars for this.

>My question is, "how many people here would be interested in a version of >this for GPL?" Yes please! I'll never have the time to learn manual setups, but I'd love to be able to tweak the cars. Joe

>I'd pay $25 American dollars for this. Ditto, if it was well done. Joe

Sounds good to me. I'd happily shell out a few quid. Mark

... Should be a default feature for any upcoming serious sims; while Novice in GPL has a very relative meaning, a setup Assistant would be great for a lot of people, especially since really being to set up a car means a lot of reading and experimentation for a lot of users, and this way it would be much more intuitive.

I agree. That would be a great way for a "die hard sim" like GPL to counter the criticism of being too inaccessible for newbies, without having to resort to arcade modes and such. Joe

My thoughts exactly. I would think Papy might be interested in such a project as well! <G>
