GPL Problem (not patch related)

7 posts by 5 people · 17 Jul 1999 - 20 Jul 1999

At some point in time, what with installing different add-ons, etc., my car (any car) started materializing on the starting grid or pit lane at an altitude of 1 foot or so. It drops to the pavement and starts to roll unless I remember to engage the brakes. This is a minor annoyance at tracks like Spa where the track slopes at the starting line. At this point in time I have no idea which add-on caused this behavior to start. Does anybody know if there is an INI setting or something that will rectify this? Thanks.
I get this at Spa now - i don't have any add-ons haven't noticed it at other tracks
I thought that was standard behaviour.... Hold the brake as you go the track, then, when on the track, hold down the clutch and engage first gear. GPL will hold the car on the brakes for you so you can rev the engine up before popping the clutch for a smoking getaway.

That is, of course, what I do but it seems to me that when I first started using GPL, I didn't have this effect. Dunno, maybe it's just my bad memory. >I thought that was standard behaviour.... >Hold the brake as you go the track, then, when on the track, hold down the >clutch and engage first gear.

I've always had to stop it from rolling anywhere there's an incline. Maybe your calibration used to be a little off so the brake was always slightly engaged? Or.... the 1.1 patch uses better wheel baring grease? ;-) Jan. ------ New motto: "Keep yer foot in it at T1" >That is, of course, what I do but it seems to me that when I first started >using GPL, I didn't have this effect.

That's pretty interesting. I just went to 640x480 today because of some heavy VROC traffic and the thing started rolling out of the pits at SPA. -- Mark Jeangerard www.soundchaserweb.com New Mexico USA > > I've always had to stop it from rolling anywhere there's an incline. > > Maybe your calibration used to be a little off so the brake was always > > slightly engaged?
