requesting ideal GPL hype settings

Can anyone paste some hype settings here that leave offline driving as competitively fair with AI? I saw the driver configuration settings but I'm unsure what values have to be changed. Thanks for any info! :-)

Thanks for any info! :-) The default setting is IMO fair. What you're asking for is an UNFAIR setting, so you easily can win your races.... <g> Practice, man! Cheers! Remco

Heck, you're right, the OP could mean that aswell! Well, get the BRM then, I would say... <g> Cheers! Remco

Pardon my ignorance...I thought those values affected GPL's kamikaze AI only and not online racing. I've never even raced online yet! Then could someone tell me if there is a way to slow the AI opponents down? I mean, these guys have outstanding, unbelievable driving skills, not to mention a setup that rivals modern day F1. I try and keep up to them going into Riems corners and my foot is to the floor with the ass end of the car out of the groove 10 degrees...and J. Clark is pulling away from me all the while sticking to the road like a slot car. I may not be the best driver in the world, but any setup for the coventry and ferrari that I drive is no match for these seemingly unrealistic default opponents. And someone said they want to speed them up to be more competitive??? That's gotta be BS.

You're right.

When I played GPL in 1998, it took me months to win a race, even on the easiest level. However, I didn't finish last, most of the time I was around the 10th place. I really had to work for it, and I was very happy when I finally won. The fast guys were indeed too fast for me during the first months, but the slower guys were beatable. Working my way up in the field is still one of the prettiest memories I've regarding simracing. I also remember a certain mr Surtees. That bugger really taugth me to brake, especially before the Parabolica at Monza. Countless, the times he rearended me. I'm still a bit nervous when I see a white car in my mirrors.... <g> However, if you still want to cut corners, and to slow the AI down, you need AI Tweaker, written by Kari Ikonen. (Never understood why _he_ needed it, the bugger was fast as Hell). You can get it here: http://www.theuspits.com/sims/gpl/files/aitw103.zip You might need vbrun30.dll to use it. Have fun! Cheers!

The ideal setting for me is to set the file to "read only" so that they don't hype and stay at the out-of-the-box settings. Works pretty well for the original tracks, but add on tracks are all over the place. Don McCorkle
