Well maybe, I haven't tried rearranging the order but the AI Tweaker makes it
very easy to adjust a variety of parameters for the ai cars. Get it at the Apex
files section.

Well maybe, I haven't tried rearranging the order but the AI Tweaker makes
it very easy to adjust a variety of parameters for the ai cars. Get it

<P>On another note entirely ...

<P>There was another thread recently about how playing GPL kind of ruined
a
<BR>persons ability to play other sims.

<P>I didn't find this to be the case at all. I found the opposite to be
true.

<P>After slogging around Monza for days, I hopped back into GP2 and I was

well

<P>OK, I'll stop now.
