Solved!!!!!

Hi, this  annoying bit of trouble that just raised it's ugly head yesterday. The previous day I had done a single race at Österreichring (Zeltw71)  1971   Austrian Grand Prix, with my usual M1 - Mirage ( finished third ). The next day I was driving the 65 mod. After finishing that, I wanted to go back to the Österreichring for another SC race.

I was at the usual main SC menu and selected "Single Race" mode, when I selected the green flag at the track selected I noticed I was the only car there ....did I miss the memo or something??? O.k., I thought maybe I selected training mode by mistake. Going back to main menu, I saw it was on single race. So trying again to see what would happen; once more I was still on the 'training" mode on the track sector screen.

Next step, I checked all my mods and they all worked. I checked Gem and "race"  was indeed selected. Next step, went to  "player" file and then to my SC  Player.ini, I looked at the "lastRaceType = ", it was on zero, so I edited it to "2"; race mode. Went back and same thing.

Then looking at "players" file, I notice there was created "another" player a day or so before for the SC, WHICH I DIDN'T CREATE! I would have no reason to do so. Weird stuff!

Next step, I made another player for SC to see what would happen. So I did and the song remained the same. I chose single race and I get the training mode on the next screen. If I chose Multiplayer I get multiplayer. If I choose World championship I get......................ta da.........Training mode.

So before I do a complete reinstall, I will see if I can pick my fellow GPL'ers brains to figure out this anomaly. Thanks.

Cheers

Do you use 60fps ?

I had a problem using 60fpsv1 that made "Single Race" and "Championship" modes inaccessible.  This was with the older GT mod and the Can-Am 71 mod.  Switched to 60fpsaiv1 and it worked ok.

If not 60fps, it might be worth disabling any other options you have selected in GEM+, in case they are causing a conflict.

Thanks mate that did the trick! I always thought I used 60fps, as I do not remember even unchecking 60fpsv1 and checking to the other yesterday. As a rule, if it works I do not mess with. But then again GPL does some strange things sometimes. Thanks again.

If you want to race against the AI you should not use any of the 60 fps patches.

Why not.......I race the AI with 60fps patch on my 67, 69mod & 69X all the time.

They don't behave properly with any of the 60 fps patches, they will slow down on the straights.

Erik
try 69X at Spa67 with 60fpsAIV1 they behave pretty well

I test this combination for GPL pc stress test

(I suspect because there is no track specific AI file in Spa67 for 69X)

Luckily, I do not have that problem.
