GPL Oil temp's for the F3's

4 posts by 2 people · 15 Dec 1999 - 16 Dec 1999

I just noticed something while watching a replay at Silverstone in the F3's. Every track I go to, my oil temp in the ferrari is always cold. It starts out cold and raises to it's peak by the start of lap three. If the gauge ran from 0* F to 100*F, my peak oil temp would be 25*. Watching this replay I jumped into someone else's Ferrari that was behind me. I wanted to watch my lines to find someplace to improve my lap times. just by chance I happen to look at this drivers oil temp. using the same scale I'd say his temp was about 50*F. WOW, I though. For the heck of it, I jumped in to the other ferrari's. They were all at about the same temp, 50F. Is this a boo-boo in the replay or is everyone's oil temp really that high? I sent a Zip file to the Alt.Binaries.simutators NG with two screen shots. both are from the in-car view. -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= http://members.xoom.com/BarlowRacing/ Racing online with the help of......

I just tried to send the file but it aint going. I don't think you really need it so.. -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= http://members.xoom.com/BarlowRacing/ Racing online with the help of......

I just heard back from another F3 driver. His oil temp is the same as mine. So, I can assume that everyone's oil temp is the same. If that is true, then there's a goof up in the replay where your car is always right where it is when you are driving it and everyone else's is at optimum temp. Or, there's a goof with the dashes that somehow plays with the replay to show this effect. -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= http://members.xoom.com/BarlowRacing/ Racing online with the help of......

Mike, AFAIK, Only RPM's and the Tell-tale from other cars than your own are included in a replay. Everything else will show as "normal". Not even fuel (pressure or level) form the other cars (online-racing) are shown dynamicly. -- All the best, Ed Solheim The Paddock - a legendary site.... ** Proud member of the GPLEA ** (Remove SPAM-GUARD in address to reply) > I just noticed something while watching a replay at Silverstone in the > F3's.
