[Q] GTR cars slow?

I've never watched Le Mans or GT car races before, so I was wondering if the cars are really this slow. I'm playing the GTR demo and the Storm and Morgan just chug along like a steam locomotive. It looks like I can't even get the tachometer to hit its max as soon as I hit 3rd gear and up.

Try turning off the pit limiter

I think that what happens is most people DO think about the limiter, and hit L, CRT-L, ALT-L, etc. Problem is, that's not always the default in GTR. On mine, the standard install mapped it to a joystick 3 button. I don't even *have* a joystick 3. Since I'd seen others talk about it before I installed the program, I was aware to look for it, so I never had to ask. But, different installs seem to do different things. One of the guys in one of my leagues had the same problem. It was initially mapped to L, but then got changed somehow. I don't know if he reinstalled, or what. So although he knew about the limiter, the key that used to work didn't so he asked for help.

It is getting changed when folks choose one of the pre-packaged wheel configurations. I got the same thing when I grabbed the MOMO wheel config. HOWEVER...all one has to do is peruse the keyboard commands and there it will be...as plain as the pimple on my backside...:) dave henrie

>me thinks the farking pit limiter should be turned off by default, but >what do I know.. lol > You're right - it should be. Same thing with F1C - I think it's on by default until you actually turn it off. Same game engine, so...

Been a while since I played a game that had a pit limiter that didn't turn off automatically. Dumb. Who knows how many people tried the demo, got cheesed off, then deleted it. Lost customers.
