Re: Making GP2 more realistic with the correct values

I once made an excel table for this purpose (combination of management and racing), but due the lack of time I didn`t go further.

It fully supported the idea of MaxD, a driver DB, price money depending on result and a factor (team`s position of last season) and various "tuning" abilities. For instance 5 different chassis with different abilities (base grip, rel, randomisation) etc.

Such projects are intresting yet time-consuming ;)

Good luck with it

There's no editor available to edit the "player grip", I do it via hex editor. I may include it on the Physics Editor. You can also change it track by track using command 0xdd (not sure if they are really the same thing, but old patcher did think yes).
Rremedio - do you know if its possible to use 0xDD to increase the grip only for specific sectors on a track? Let's say in a corner where either I, or the CCs have a big advantage (maybe due to height transitions)

I mean - is it like changing a texture where you have a default texture and then use 0xbc to change it?

Unfortunately 0xDD seems to set the grip for the whole track. I don't think I ever tested having multiples of it tho, so maybe it works.

CCs usually have advantage due to height transitions indeed. Also, when the ccline goes through (mostly high) kerbs.

Yes agree 100%. I tried multiple instances of 0xDD on Michael's Monaco track and you are right it does not seem to be an adjustable grip per section tool.

Back to the drawing board.
