GTR 2002 Issue...

I downloaded this mod last night, installed it this morning, and immediately went to the Indy course with a Porsche. But for some reason, my car won't go any faster than 78 km/h. If I up shift, the engine just lugs along at a lower RPM. I played with the sensitivity settings on the wheel, turned off all driving aids, and still have this problem. Anything else I can check? I'm using a MS Force Feedback Gameport Wheel on Win XP. In F1 2002 everything works fine. Thanks, Russ

Congratulations. You are User Number 3, 544 who hasn't read the manual. Included with your purchased copy of F1 2k2 is a rather small booklet which lists the keyboard commands. You will find the key to toggle the PIT LANE SPEED LIMITER listed there.(it's the L key) :) Russell, almost everyday when the mod was fist released, we had people asking the same question. Don't feel bad. I guess EA has got to learn to write better manuals so folks can figure out what is going on. :) dave henrie "Russell Laughlin Jr." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I downloaded this mod last night, installed it this morning, andimmediately > went to the Indy course with a Porsche.

My point exactly. We have been bombarded with questions here and in the various web forums about SIMPLE things like the Pit Lane Speed limiter, or bypassing the starting intros. Clearly the documentation isn't the clearest in these regards. Glad you did find what you were searching for tho.. dh --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I can remember a couple years back in this group someone could come in and ask a simple question without getting flamed like this...

The thing is...even if you didn't find it in the manual, there are the controller screens where it is listed...AND it is a question that has been asked here adinfinitem(sp?) A quick read through the various posts about F1 2000 F1 2000CS F1 2001 and F1 2002 would have turned up hundreds of threads with the same problem. It's not just you believe me. and WE did answer your question...we didn't just give the old standbye, RTFM. Sorry if we blistered your skin. dave henrie

I thought he deserved it Dave...i am sorry to say. There has to be a point where a person has to think before posting.... Have i made the best attempt i can to find the answer...? Using simple logic where *might* the answer be...? Something along those lines....nothing more,no rocket science. But that post was just so typical of that type. Don't beat yourself up Dave...:) AD

...and to Russell... Yes...that question sure was *simple*...!! AD

Use a second "old" machine for your productivity stuff running Linux, set your gaming rig next to it and leave the wheel attached at all times. Works great for uptimes of your linux box in the hundreds of days (as it should), and you will only have to type in a funny sort of way and pose during races ;-) Have a merry xmas, uwe -- mail replies to Uwe at schuerkamp dot de ( yahoo address is spambox) Uwe Schuerkamp //////////////////////////// http://www.schuerkamp.de/ Herford, Germany \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ (52.0N/8.5E) GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

Dave, my response wasn't directed towards you, but rather to Jason Moyer. Yours is one of the few familiar names I still recognize when I visit this newsgroup. And Jason, if it's of any interest to you, I'll be glad to post a picture of my computer desk/bookshelf and let you see if you can find the F1 2002 manual. I've got almost every game manual for every game I've purchased since 1997 along with countless Microsoft texts, software guides, magazines, etc. and to dig through that stuff on Xmas eve at 1 AM isn't my idea of a good time. Knowing that there are guys like Dave who seem to know all when it comes to auto sims hanging out on these boards and can answer a simple question with a 6 word response makes my life and many others much easier. It took much less effort on his part to answer the question and certainly less time on mine than searching on google for another post.

I'm transferring and loading up a new computer and have recently become a fanatic about KVM switches. (Keyboard-video-mouse switches that let you hook K-V-M hardware to more than one computer.) This saves a ton of space.

....and your attraction to them is....? AD

No, being jerks is a way of life for most of this pack. Some pretty pathetic people involved in this group. (Not all). Russell Laughlin Jr. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
