GPL F2 question

3 posts by 2 people · 21 Jul 1999 - 21 Jul 1999

Well, I finally got around to looking at the F2's last night. After having done a couple of F3 races online and seeing some F2 races listed on GSB, I figured F2's might be a sweet spot for online; closer competion than F1's, but not as slow as the F3's. Hmmm; better do some setups. With drafting battles in mind, I tried Monza first. And much to my surprise, the AI (Pro level) just kill you on straightaway speed, even matching car brands(I know about the Brabham's advantage) and exit speed. Coming out of Ascari in my Lotus right on Hill's tail, he just pulls away down the straight, unlike F1's. And watching other cars close up in the mirrors from way back is just depressing. My max down into Parabolica is about 169, where the other Loti are doing 175-176. I've tweaked the gearing, toe, and tire pressure all around, but no more speed seems to be there. The question part(finally:-)): Is this just life with the F2's? Or am I missing something? TIA, Steve B. remove "edy" from address for email

I've found the same... although at other tracks it's different. Silverstone and Zandvoort are brilliant. I've had some tremendous races since trying the F2s seriously for the first time a few days ago. -- Cheers! Graeme Nash http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk ICQ# 11257824
>I've found the same... although at other tracks it's different. Thanks Graeme. Must be something with the LP files. Maybe if I use helium in the tires.... Cheers, Steve B. remove "edy" from address for email
