I just spend my first day of online racing and have a couple a basic questions.
I want to be able to be as polite as possible while racing and do not understand the conept of how the online chat works. I have set up the 10 chat messages but do not know how to use them. Do I simply hit the related numeric key on the keyboard, or do I use the numbers on the keypad, or am I totally of base? I tried pressing one the keyes and did not see a message appear. I did not know if the message was broadcast to the other players or not.
Also, how can I setup my .PLR file to link a couple of these messages to the buttons on my momo wheel? That would be safer than looking for the keys on the keyboard. I am amazed at how some of you can be messaging throughout the race. That's more than I can handle right now.
Also, I have noticed there are several private race events in the GTL lobby and was wondering how I could get involved in some of those. I have managed to finish all the races I entered today, but man there is a lot of madness out there. I'm looking to become more proficiant at finishing longer races of 10 to 20 laps consistantly, and am not that concerned with always being up front. I believe my speed will improve over time. I have running the AI races for well over a year and feel I now have the control needed to race with others and respect their space.
Thanks in advance for any advice that can be offered.
