Watkins Glen in GPL

Assuming your technique is ok try checking your differential power-off ramp setting. I have found that decreasing the ramp angle provides more differential lock-up and eases the cars desire to swap ends. It also improves braking performance but can lead to turn-entry understeer if you take out too much angle.

hey guys, can someone tell me the proper technique to go through the big loop at Watkins Glen in GPL. Everytime I go through that corner, my car would jump sideways no matter how straight I set the car. Any kind of help would be helpful for a GPL rookie like me... btw i am running the demo

If you're talking about just after you come over the hump but before the corner then I would say slow down more. It sounds to me like you're going in too deep then braking to hard.

And that 13fps isn't helping you much either... Stephen : If you're talking about just after you come over the hump but before : the corner then I would say slow down more.

I could spend a lot of time trying to explain it but watching a replay of one of the hotshoes would be worth a thousand words. Try here http://www.parc-ferme.de/fastlaps.htm Cheers Andrew.

or even better: a replay of a hotshoe and your own compared with GPL SpyGirl - that way you can actually SEE the difference in a replay. Lio

The best advice I can give you is: Buy the game! That won't fix your Loop, but it will give you loads of other corners to figure how to do properly!!! hehehe... And you need to enter it slowly and exit it with as much speed as possible! ---Asgeir--- > hey guys, can someone tell me the proper technique to go through the big loop > at Watkins Glen in GPL.

Or GPL Dump. Andrew

AFAIK GPLdump does only dump graphics - does it actually merge to replays and synchronizes them? with GPL SpyGirl you can synchronize the cars at the start of a turn (at least for some tracks) to see the difference in the line and what line gives the best time. Lio

Yes, GPLDump only dumps graphics, but from within GPLDump you can run Spygirl, very handy. Andre On Tue, 11 Jan 2000 13:07:36 +0100, Liutger Franzen

Do GPL SpyGirl work with GPL 1.2 ? -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

yes it does. Lio

> > Do GPL SpyGirl work with GPL 1.2 ? > yes it does. Thank you very much. The reason for asking is that at the us-pits site it says that is is optimized for 1.1, and i assumed that it wouldn't work with 1.2 :) -- Olav K. Malmin (who got a lot of analyzing to do) remove spam when replying

Could try increasing the left/front wheel rate. -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.
