Ghost Car help

[efgordon]

i am having troubles with my game crashing when i am at any add-on track. i get a message that i have no lame ghost

my game works just fine if i turn the ghost mode off, but crashes if i turn it on to "normal" or "best"

anyone know how i can fix this problem?

no, i cant survive without my ghost.

its a fantastic tool when it comes to building sets, q sets, and finding the best line on new tracks.

it cuts my R&D time in half easily! ha

true..... but i cant imagine it not being used already

how else would someone know if they are getting faster after making a small change in a setup?

lap times? ha ha ha

even if ya did make a change and pick up some time, how on earth would you know where you gained that time?

i'm lost with out that ghost for sure

[EagleKeeper]

i've never used ghost. i just strictly go by lap times... and lap times only. that is what i used to tell if i am getting faster. but.......... i may try the ghost now

BTW pocono works with a Ghost car. Something to do with the files. If it messes up on the addon tracks tonight. Maybe the guys at the modsquad can answer this question, better than me. If it blowsup I'll ask them.

Dirt TPark is what i am mostly concern with right now, but it happens at every add on track i install.

go to a track like dover or something with the lch mod, clear all the records and ghost in your ghost folder, then run a few laps from the garage. you will notice the first lap will be against finkle or whatever his name is. it will be a plain white car that is going annoyingly slow, and after the first lap you will hear "that was your best lap ever" and boom!, you will then be racing against you best ever lap, beat that one, and again you will hear "that was your best lap ever", and you will again be racing against that lap.

it will also use "best lap ever" for whoever you race against in a race.

turn your ghost on and you will have a ball going to alot of tracks. odds are lepage has the best lap at hampshire (how do you think i figured out his line?), probably tommy at richmond, another place great for using the ghost to figure out the line, you could go to irp and practice forever trying to get my line down (ha!), ect, ect,

the only places it dont really help are the places that have alot of draft, because you will see how fast the ghost burns yo ass down the straights. i clear all the ghosts at these tracks and just practice qualifying. I was amazed when and where i found .2 tenths at tona a couple of years ago by simply trial and error racing the ghost.

now i go to dirt park and the place has 5000 potential lines, and i know if i had a ghost, i could eliminate the bad places to be in and out of the turns in 1/5 the amount of time if i am just using lap times.

wah wah wah, i want my ghosts back damit!

ha ha ha
