GPL--Can I turn off damage for longer races?

Is there a way to run longer races with damage turned off? Or at least allow car reset? Thanks

Are you talking about online or offline? Online is decided by the server as to whether shift-r is allowed. Once you select the pro or grand prix races, damage is realistic. But you can still shift-r I don't think there's any utilities to alter this either.

For offline, there is SVG editor at the US Pits (http://www.theuspits.com/owheel/gpl/files/svg-edit101.zip). Only works after qualifying since it edits saved grid files. So you start the race type you want, qualify and then start a race which you abort. GPL will ask you if you want to save the practise results. They go in a file consisting of <track>.svg in your players dir. This file can then be edited to have the damage setting at none (plus a lot of other things).

You can change the number of laps in the gpl/seasons/67season.ini file for the tracks you would like to alter. Novice is approximately 15% of the race length (number of laps). Intermediate is approximately 30% of the race length. Grand Prix is equal to the race length. So for damaged turned off, you'll need to use the novice setting and bump up the laps alot :) Jason.

...or you can use my only GPL utility - Race Length Editor http://www.simracing.dk/gpl/resourcer/tools.htm -- Tony Whitley GPLRank -0.54 MonsterRank 407 and falling...

Nice litte program Tony :) FYI, I did find one bug: One of my 67season.ini tracks had the following data, which made it stop reading any other tracks under it: month=7day=21 I changed the line to read: month=7 day=21 All worked fine after that. Jason. Tony Whitley wrote:

Hmm. I wouldn't call that a b u g exactly... I might be able to improve the program's resistance to garbled .ini files. Tony
