I know it's there, but IRL you can switch into the "Pit lane entrance" whenever you want, you are allowed to cross the yellow line as long as you car is inbetween the 2 whits lines as you cross the pit lane entance (Speed trap starts) - This is another Ferrari cheated for years, ut we won't go into that now!

You can't enforce crossing yellow lines on entering pits, AFAIK no real life race series enforces this... however exiting the pits is a +1 from me....

As for the stop+go and drive-through penalties, these can be given to the drivers in race by a race admin and the driver will see the message telling them they have to take the penalty, if they ignore this message and finish the race, they are DQ'd automatically

just type /w pb



But if it's on the HUD, you want the splits from your PB, or to have the split times colour co-ordinated as IRL, Grey is slower, Green is faster than PB, red is fastest of race

The shift light doesn't nesecarily tell you the perfect time to shift, it tell's you when there is more toruque available in the next gear AFAIK

Nope, it's a fact women have less peripheral vision than men (But what they do have may well be better then men's)

Except they wouldn't be as aware on track (Less peripheral vision) which is why more accidents occur in womens racing on turning into a corner....

You now need to make a post in the forum on that site, In the F1 section, in the Team Principle / Manager Sign Up thread, then it will be considered by the person running the seies (Most likely accepted as no1 else wants Ferrari at the moment!), reaqding on this forum you will that you have missed the first 2 races, but theres a long way to go yet!

You need to register on www.simfia.com, but no, you only need a TP and a driver, you have 2 even better, a third driver is not needed, but is usefull for testing setups and in case a driver can't make 1 weekend.....

Only problem with this is locked wheel before a turn means 0mph??? I like the current system taken from drive shaft, as far as I'm aware, the racing cars I have the chance to look round, take their speed from the rear axle....

Quote from Shinanigans :Unless you classify "mid engined" and "rear engined" differently? As far as im concerned, if it's behind the drivers seat, then it's a rear/mid engined car and they both have the same meaning.

They are completely different, most small companies can build a very good mid-engine sports car, but very few companies (Including the big manufacturers) completely fail when it comes to rear engine (Engine behind rear wheels)

As far as I am concerned only 1 company has managed to produce a fast and good handling rear engine car, and that would obv. be the prosche's.....

I;m sure some of it comes from the fact that they don't like being beaten by a girl!

You automjatically compensate, the weight and forces in the setup menu is taken with the driver in, out, with passengers depending on you options....

But yes, this would be useful for oval racers as well......

Quote from Gentlefoot :Wow - that is damn fast for a beginner. I've done over 900 laps in the XFG around Blackwood and my PB is only 1:34.33!

Difference is, he's using the XR Turbo, not XFG

Did 350 round the oval, leg was fine (No braking, except for pitting) but arms were nearly falling off, at least on oval you can swap arms to give each a rest with no gear changes needed!!!!

Better interiors are on the way, this was confirmed I believe, but and nice thought would be the chassis flex which Scawen is interested in, but who know's this will probably need some major rewriting of physics so may not be a viable option until S3, but chassis flex will alow different vehicles, karts, trucks, 4x4......

Fair enough, I'll shut up now

But I was just trying to make the point which you took a little futher, just how far do you go?

You can keep each car standard and allow small changes, or you can allow complete customisation, or find a nice inbetween

But if the game is going to be realistic and authentic, you must be able to choose you manfacturers, brake parts, clutches, engines etc... all are chosseable IRL, and all manufacturers bring something different to the table, speed, aceeleration, longetivity, quick repair/replacement..... Would bring something completely different to the table, but for the sake of gameplay, racing exactly the same cars around is the way to go IMO, but if you go that far, you may as well take out the setups and only allow players to run the set the host chooses....
