Hi there ! Can someone please opst or email me a setup for Viper Racing to make it drive a little more "GPLish" ?? I once made up my own setup to be able to "steer with throttle", but I lost it ;-( Thanx in advance !! Also, man mailt sich... .\\atze *home* : http://www.buesing.de
>Also, man mailt sich... >.\\atze Hey...what does this mean? I asked a person who teaches German and he coudn't make it out exactly. This is what he said: +++++++ Also, man mailt (sic) sich.... = Therefore one paints one's self (but "mailt" is prob. an attempt to put the Eng. word "mail" as in Email, together with "malt", from the Ger. verb "malen", meaning: to paint. Clever. .\\atze = ? Latze=bib; aetzen=etch, using a caustic or acidic agent. Dunno, unless he misspelled or is clueless. +++++++ Just wonderin' ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com/ The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! -----------== Over 66,000 Groups, Plus a Dedicated Binaries Server ==----------

Which track? Just what is "GPLish" like? I doubt you will get a 1998 Viper to drive like a 1967 F-1. Paul

Hi Paul ! Due to the fact that Viper Racing isn't out in germany yet I only have the demo ;-/ Of course not...but I want to have the viper to be more oversteering and little more "steerable" with the gas. As I mentioned I had a setup for viper, but the problem was that as soon as the car starts to oversteer there was almost no chance to get it back on track (as you can do in GPL just by hitting or lowering the gaspedal...) Also, man mailt sich... .\\atze *home* : http://www.buesing.de

Here is a setup for Silverdale that has just a hint of oversteer and works well for me Bump 50 40 Rebound 65 75 Springs 70 65 Toe-in 0 .2 Camber -1.6 -.7 Ride height 5.2 5.9 Brake bias 65 35 Wheel lock 18 Spoiler 100 90 Final drive 4.1 Gears 2.00 1.32 1.00 .92 .84 .78

Crank the wheel lock up to 35 and you will be able to recover from an oversteer spin more easily. Just crank in a little extra wheel when recovering :) -Larry > That's about the size of it.

LOL! No, he means to mail, not to paint :) Probably you could translate it roughly by "to mail each other". ...perhaps his nickname :)? I've no idea what it means either, but your translation attempt by "?tzen" is wonderful :) I see, you *really* have to be careful to eliminate all German words from an English posting - I had no idea what people can make out of three words ;-) Daniel -- Daniel Lichtenberger, Vienna/Austria
