F2 Cars Championship

Can you run a championship vs AI in GPL with the F2 cars? If so how and does the AI use F2 cars also?

Yes, you can. In your 'gpl\players' folder are folders for each of the player-names you use. Each player has a file called 'player.ini'. In that file you have to search for the parameter called 'driverRating'. If you set the value to '2' you'll race F2 cars, if you set it to '1' F3 cars. The AI will use the same type of cars. It's a good idea to create a special player for that purpose, because otherwise the AI might race very good laps, if you had some really good laptimes with the F1 cars... (they remember the records of each player seperately and react on your fastest times). CU Zolli

Zolli, I've tried this several times and each time I go into Championship mode (instead of Single Race) all the cars (including mine) default to the full-on F1 cars. What's the story? -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- > > Can you run a championship vs AI in GPL with the F2 cars?

What I have found is that when I once began an F2 Championship, my car was actually F1, and the AIs were driving F2s! In the beginning it was nice to win, but then I realized that the "hype-something"? will become very strange after I make those F1 laptimes. Or will it? Single Races work fine in all the series. By the way, is this "hype-something" different for every human driver (I have Arto, Arto2 and Arto3), or do they share the same scaling? In my different driver's folders I did not find anything named "hype". Only in the gpl_ai.ini, which is shared by all drivers! Arto

Well I just did what Zolli said and it worked fine. thanks Zolli I prefer teh better balance if the F2 cars over F1 cars. Dave writes: > >Zolli, I've tried this several times and each time I go into Championship > >mode (instead of Single Race) all the cars (including mine) default to the

Don't understand what goes wrong there? BTW, I got the info from Alison Hine's GPL-FAQ, maybe you can find out more on her site. http://simracing.com/alison/gpl/ CU Zolli

I'm wondering if anybody else has had this occur? I'm darned if I can get it to work under Championship Season. Single Race is fine...no problems at all, but as soon as I select a full Season....WHAMMO!....back to full F1 cars! Is there anything in the driver.ini file that needs changing...or the gpl_ai.ini file? I've looked and looked but can't find anything. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- > writes: > > >Zolli, I've tried this several times and each time I go into Championship > > >mode (instead of Single Race) all the cars (including mine) default to > the > > >full-on F1 cars. > Don't understand what goes wrong there? > BTW, I got the info from Alison Hine's GPL-FAQ, maybe you can find out more > on her site. > http://simracing.com/alison/gpl/ > CU > Zolli -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

WHOA!! Correction to this...the AI cars are okay. It's only MY car that always defaults to F1 mode when Championship is chosen!! This is most frustrating. Anyone have any clue as to what may need tweaking? -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- > I'm wondering if anybody else has had this occur?

It seems that only you and me have this problem B. no matter what I do I go F1 when in WC! I loose all my setups so there might be something to do with assigning F2 player to the WC? Working on it... Is it patch related? I have 1.1 patched! -- Oli BeoRocket Racing http://www.beorocket.co.yu/

I too have been pondering upon this one for a long time. As you say Bruce, there seems to be nothing in the ini files to change this situation. Deeply frustrating!

Well, now that all you SMART people have raised the issue, I'll chime in. I've never been able to make it work either. Kurt

Well Oli, I don't know if it's patch related or not because I only use the first patch (1.0.0.3, I think it is) and last night I did a separate install of GPL from the box (1.0.0.0). I made only one driver, converted him to F2 and exactly the same thing happened when in the Championship mode: I stayed at F1 level and the AI came out as F2!!

Maybe the others haven't actually tried to run a WC because it will always default back to F1 cars. This has been discussed many times and no-one has yet come up with a workaround, to my knowledge. Cheers, Andrew.

You're probably correct, Andrew.

I really have no clue!? my present sim wish is to go WC and F2 since that Tasman thing didn't work out right... Have messed with it for 2 hours today but no good... No offense to the others but from where I stand it isn't possible to go full WC with F2! Lemme know if you work something out! C'mon guys help us out here! -- Oli BeoRocket Racing http://www.beorocket.co.yu/

Yeah I even marked this thread hoping that someone posts a solution... -- Oli BeoRocket Racing http://www.beorocket.co.yu/

Oliver, I've come to the sad conclusion that NOBODY has successfully managed to get their alter ego operating in F2 or F3 mode when running a WC, no matter what they say. Something in the GPL.exe file is affecting/controlling this, not something in any of the .ini files. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- > I really have no clue!? my present sim wish is to go WC and F2 since that > Tasman thing didn't work out right... > Have messed with it for 2 hours today but no good... > No offense to the others but from where I stand it isn't possible to go full > WC with F2! > Lemme know if you work something out! > C'mon guys help us out here! > -- > Oli > BeoRocket Racing > http://www.beorocket.co.yu/ > > Well Oli, I don't know if it's patch related or not because I only use the > > first patch (1.0.0.3, I think it is) and last night I did a separate > install > > of GPL from the box (1.0.0.0).

I keep hoping that someone with a knowledge of HEX editing will be able to fix it. Er.. . .ahem, Please! pretty please. Andrew :~))

Yes...that would be nice if someone with the required knowledge could have a look at it.
