GPL - real fastest laps

Just downloaded the actual practice and race fastest laps for the 1967 GP's from www.theuspits.com , Clarkes FL in qualifying was 3.28.1 at Spa - hey swizz! GPL's AI should run at this, then my 3.25's (joystick) would put me on pole, never mind way off VROC pace. I think a virtual Ferrari went round at 3.13something the other day. Hill still whupped my ass at the Glen with a 1.05.48 (me 1.07ish) By the way, how much do lap times improve with a wheel and pedals? There are some turns where I reckon a dab of brakes but wide open throttle (impossible with a joystick) would be quicker... Mr Davo

I use a ff joystick & pedals. It's much better than two (or one) joystick. I made the pedals using an old joystick's X & Y axies. V. Cheap, v. good. Malc.

Ignore the Spa laptimes in GPL compared to real life. Our Spa is fairly unrealistic (much too wide, the shape is off so bad in some places it would highly alter the speed of the corner). ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Webmaster, http://simcrash.fameflame.dk
