I'm setting up a LAN party and GPL. I can't seem to recall how to setup the server to use either the trainer or the advanced trainer. Been through the .INI files and over to Allison's site, but can't find the info! I thought F3 at Monaco would be fun! buzard

Fire up your copy of GPL and go to the player info Screen. Create a new player name. I suggest something like 'Your name_f3', Exit GPL and from windows explorer or My Computer, go to Sierra/GPL/Players/Your name_f3 , folder - the profile that you have just created. In this folder you will find a file called player.ini. (it might just read player). Open this file in any text editor and scroll down to a section called [Personal Information]. In this section you will see a line .......driver rating = 3. Change this setting to read driver rating = 1. Save the file and exit.. To set up to race a f2 car, (Advanced trainer) simply repeat the above with another new driver name only this time, change the line in the driver.ini file to driver rating = 2. MS

But will that automatically set all the cars on the server to F3 as well? And all the other people joining the server after me? That works for single player, but I want to set up an F3 server! buzard
