And the reason of that is,..i'm always starting at the back of the grid! I can't get any closer to the flag,the other cars are so fast and my driving is so terrible,.....But i'm loving every second of it!!!! Am i the only one who's always starting at the back of the field,or are there any "drivers" that are just as bad as me?? I must confess i bought GPL just yesterday,but already tried a lot of tracks,.. PFFFF...what a great game!!!!!! A couple of days ago i suggested to this NG to start a GPL NG,...cause i didn't know that GPL could be this ***ing........shove aside F1RS and his MF1GP2 or what the sequel is called.....there are only to sims for us F1 fans,...GP2 and GPL!!!!!! -- Greetings :) ___ RuuD?

I can see the flag...but only cos I run with 8 opponents! <g> Time for some system tweaking...and a wheel...and some more hours..

didn't see the starting flag too .... set my detail bias to 100% and ... *wow* ... there it was, that little green flag on the left side of the starting grid in monza. (all other options on and maxed too) do i have to say, that my fps dropped dramatically because of detail bias? and until now the starting flag is the only difference i've noticed with bias at 50% and at 100%. -- Surf Usenet at home, on the road, and by email -- always at Talkway. http://www.talkway.com

says... Naw...I'm pretty bad too. My best at Monza is only 1:36 and something. Yesterday was the first race (6 laps and 14 opponents) where I (a) didn't crash, and (b) didn't finish last, though I beat only one other driver. I felt like I'd won the F1 championship. -- Prophet and Interpretive Dancer Fixer of Broken Stuff

My recommendation is to keep an eye on the cars around you and as far to the front as possible. As SOON as you're in the car on the start line, press the clutch, engage first and get the revs up to a comfortable level for getting off the line. As soon as the cars start to move, release the clutch and you're away. Sadly my starts are usually pretty bad because I don't pay enough attention... so maybe my advice is to be ignored ;) M
