Is there any way to get "anti-lock" brakes in GPL without resorting to brake help. I find it so difficult to prevent the wheels from locking up. And many times I end up in the ditch at the outer loop :)
The skid sound is the thing to focus on, when you hear it back off a bit. A useful thing is to make it louder so it's easier to hear at high revs. Also, put something under your brake pedal to give it some resistance and feel. I use foam ***, a squash ball is popular. And as you've heard many times, or will, practice helps a bunch. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

How do you make the skid sound louder?

I downloaded the Tom Pabst SoundPak http://www.simracingnews.com/soundsgarage and found that the louder tyre sound in that helped me a great deal. I'm pretty sure there's no way of doing from within the program. The squash ball (or in my case, a stiff coil spring I had lying around) is ESSENTIAL. It lets me brake much more consistently as it changes foot position controlling the amount of brake to foot pressure controlling it.

Hi! There is a util that can do this for you. I think the adress is www.stickworks.com. The util is called CTFJ. /Roger > Is there any way to get "anti-lock" brakes in GPL without resorting to > brake help. I find it so difficult to prevent the wheels from locking > up.
