SCGT question

How do I end the Practice session and go to the Qualify session??? The manual says to hit 'Esc' and then 'Y'. When I hit 'Esc', the prompt says to hit 'Enter' to exit the race, which it does. No tire temps -- how do you set camber???? -Paul

As far as I can tell, you set the camber based on whether you have an understeering or oversteering car. In other words, negative camber in the front fixes one problem, but too much creates another. And so on.... I still can't figure out how to go from Practice to Qualifying to Race. It's probably obvious, but I can't find it in the manual. -Paul

Very simple. You practice.. Then after you end practice you go back to the screen were you chose practice. Change the selection Qualify. Qualify. After you run your qualification, go back to that screen again, select race. It will remember your qualification and place you in that position. If you also look at the list of cars on the left you will see your car is placed were ever your qualified at. It isn't an automatic thing, you have to keep going back to that screen to advance. -- -Gunslinger-

Sorry to ask the obvious, but what if you want to leave the practice session before it's over? It appears that you can't. Technically you could just ESC out of the practice session and go directly into the qualifying session for a new race. But that's simply a kludge. So far I like the actual driving/racing that I've done. It's just that SCGT's whole interface and forced career mode seem really clumsy to me. -- | "Instead of letting the moon be the Bill Mette | gateway to our future, we have let Enteract, Chicago | it become a brief chapter in our

I actually like the career mode to earn tracks and cars thing - it's very rewarding to me to earn something I can actually use when I race well. But, then I liked it in TOCA, and most people hated it there.

I figured it out today. You're tight it is simple. I always felt like I was 'totally' leaving a race when I ESC'd out during a practice session. A little clumsy on the UI's part.... :-) -Paul PS - the 23 car in the opening video is a friend of mine. His name is Darryl Havens. His team did very well at Daytona and Sebring this year.

It doesnt really matter too much either way because the game is just WAY to easy. I crush these guys on the hardest settings, without changing my setup at all and starting dead last. I mean I am lapping the field after 7 laps - at every track. Damn shame too because it shows much promise but the AI is just too slow. Carl Rimmel CRimmel on TEN http://www.teammirage.com

Press Esc then Enter, the manual was made with Version 1.28, a much older version and the controls were different. Tire temps patched down the road. Art Stealth Racing http://www.***sys.com/stealthracing.html

There will be an editor they will allow you to edit the AI and there speeds. Art Stealth Racing http://www.***sys.com/stealthracing.html

Yes, a "slight" oversight there. In fact no telemetry of any kind at all (and this in one of the most technically advanced series in the world) making it difficult to set up pretty much anything. Fortunately it's not been necessary to tweak the setup at all (except for wet races), the AI can be beaten fairly easily even on the top setting. Still, it's pretty fun, and I like a lot of little touches like seeing a cloud of tyre smoke up ahead and arriving to find someone's spun or two cars have tangled. I'd like to see a more "sim" version of this to see how it would develop in that direction, since it's pretty fun in current incarnation. Cheers! John
