I know how to race against the AI when driving the F2 or F3 cars, but what about online? Is it possible for someone to host a GPL F2 series? Scott

Yes it is, I am not sure but I think the clients all have to have the same Formula level set in their player file. This makes for some great racing especially for the less skilled or people with slower computers. Jesse |I know how to race against the AI when driving the F2 or F3 cars, but |what about online?

Hey Wosco, not only are the F2/F3 cars are bounus for the less skilled (as you put it) but are a real challenge to the so-called hotshoes out there as well. IMO it requires more racing skill, more setup skill and more patience and understanding of racing techniques to successfully compete to a high level in these F3 cars than it does in F1... You don't win these races in these cars by choosing a Lotus or an Eagle and going like a bat out of hell untill everyone else crashes out, you win these races by skill. :) To run the F3 cars in on-line competition: Step 1: Make up a new driver, as an example: Wosco_f3 Step 2: Go to the PLAYERS directory for Wosco_f3 and edit the PLAYER.INI file. Change the DRIVER RATING to 3 Save the changes and race f3's using the driver Wosco_f3 To run the F2 cars in on-line competition: The same as above, but call your driver: Wosco_f2 Change the DRIVER RATING to 2 Note: driver rating is found under: [Personal Information] Hope that helps a bit..

Actually i made a boo boo in the f3 specs, for F3 cars, change the driver rating to 1.. F1's are 3 F2's are 2 F3's are 1 I know, it seems strange, but that's the way it is.. :) Cheers again, Ron
