Although, I haven't found a solution for the server car staying on the
grid
yet. Bill, got an answer for that??? :-)

Unfortunately, no.

Maybe soon...

OK, I've sussed it! In my case it has nothing to do with the plr file or
the gbd. It is down to Ralph Hummerich's 2003 update. I think the single
lap thing is hard coded there, because if I go back to the 2002 season,
the
number of laps is 12.
Thanks anyway,
Iain

Of course, Bill. Why didn't I think of that? Thanks a lot - I can sleep
well tonight! (well, probably not actually because the Suzuka 1st qual is
on rather late!)
Thanks

I did notice though that when I joined a server with those changes, I get a
mismatch.

Since my server is running a 'no-cd' version, most people get a mismatch...

I'm still glad you asked...<g
I ran a test last night - 20 minute practice, 3 lap/15 min qual, 5 minute
warmup. Beautiful! So, I can set those figures for the real race Sunday, and
it will run efficiently even if I *don't* race in it myself. I don't have to
hang around to kick the server to the next session. I haven't turned a lap at
Suzuka since GP2, so I know I'm way off the pace... I'll probably just stay
out of the way.

Jeeze Eldred:

Don't you like to race with us? If I'm there you
probably won't be last. Allow Stability assist if
you want.

Anyone with a decent computer, that's not me, and
a cable modem can host the number of cars we've been
seeing. It's nice to have a fast host with a fast
connection, but I don't know if it's worth having you
wade a half an hour each way through swamps filled
with carnivorous lizards in the blinding snow on
Sunday morning to start a server for a race you aren't
going to drive.

I don't like being in the WAY. That's what would happen, and stability assist
wouldn't help that. But since we don't have a full field, it might not matter
much. I'm not sure I'll have time to get enough practice to keep from spinning
every other lap. We'll see come race time.

Actually, now that I know how to change some settings, it's a "set-and-forget"
race now. Once I start the race, it can procede without my intervention. I'm
still looking for a way to automatically eliminate the server car. I even
tried to contact EA Sports for assistance. They were about as useful as a
screen door on a submarine...

Try contacting some of the ISI guys instead. Some of them hang out on
different web based forums. Can't remember which ones, but Dave H. or
somebody else can probably steer you in the right direction. Or you can go
to their website and try the contact e-mails listed there.

They're in Ann Arbor?!? Hell, I could walk in the *front door* and ask
them...<g>
