Winning in GPL

4 posts by 4 people · 23 Jul 1999 - 23 Jul 1999

hiya, Won for the first time in GPL yesterday at Monza. Was normally placed 4th and 5th but this time got a good start and was running 3rd till Hill decided to hit the barrier on the second lab just before the straight leading to the parabolica. Stayed at 2nd with Clark 2 seks ahead all the way to the second last lap when he ***oo'ed the braking in the Lesmos and i was able to catchup and pass him on the start/finnish line on the last lap. It was just so F***g amazing :-) I was driving the Ferrari with Miss Hine's golden setups and although it was very satisfying to get the slide through the corners just right i could never break 1:31 with it, once or twice into the high 1:30's but very rarely. Then i tried the Lotus with the same setup and someone elses gearbox and clutch setup and i started getting into the 1:30's and with the final two laps in this race actually 1:29,85 and 1:29,15. What a rush !!! Will try a race again tonight for old times sake, allready did the practise laps and qualified 2nd, and then move onto a new course. The Lotus feels loose exiting the corners and i don't have that much confidance to put the pedal down early in the corners as i was with the Ferrari, i know my times don't show this but it feels like a could go faster through the corners still. The nose is very twitchy on exit and unsettles me alot when exiting the corners, especially the first lesmo, very loose and then normally on a very strange place on the road into the second one. Geez i love this game, with my MSFF wheel it is the ultimate rush and the rewards after plenty of laps and practise makes one feel sooo good. A current F1 or Indy sim with the same game engin would not be to shabby either :-) Cheers Christo

Damn, good for you, On my system, Clark does 1:24's all day and laps me.

> Damn, good for you, On my system, Clark does 1:24's all day and laps me. You must have registered an unrealistically fast lap on that track while racing online, I think! This makes the AI cars go incredibly fast to "keep up" with you. I think you have to delete the player.sts file from the player directory inside GPL, or something like that.
Out of interest what settings are you using in core.ini for your wheel, I have been playing with my settings but haven't found anything ime happy with yet. Mark London UK
