Problem with both GTR demos?

[Tara]

Hi all,

I DL'd the GTR press demo, it installed fine, but the car starts
sputtering after 2nd gear and the speed bar blinks like there's
something wrong with the engine. I tried fiddling with the settings
with no luck.

Then I DL'd the newest demo (approx. 200 mb) from two different
websites (one a zip file, the other exe). When I tried to install
either one I get "Setup file is corrupted." Anyone else have this
problem?

Sounds like the pit lane limiter is on. Check out the controls under
options, ideally map it to a button on your wheel.

Rumour had it the file on http://www.sanchodezign.de/gtr/demo/GTR_DEMO.exe
was corrupt. Try here:

Hope this helps

The first one I d/l'd was corrupt (Uwe, sup wit dat?) then I went to
Boomtown and that one worked. Any of the major d/l sites and you shouldnt
have any problems.

You have to turn off the pit road speed limiter. Try pressing the "L" key
if I remember correctly.

I tried just about every key and couldn't get that damn pit limiter
light to go out. >:|

I'm going to try downloading the official demo from the site Tony
suggested.

There's probably no need to do something that drastic -- sometimes GTR
will bind the pit limiter to something goofy without telling you. Try
going into the options and resetting the binding to something sensible,
like "l", or a wheel button.

I looked and looked in the options and could find no pit limiter.

It's in the CONTROLS. You probably picked a specific wheel and the key
got shuffled off to some wheel button. Look through the joystick settings.
The gas/brake/steering...it's in there.

You need to scroll down.

Yeah, it's not obvious. Even after reading various posts/solutions on
this problem I still couldn't find it. Some menus allow you to scroll
through them and some don't and the ability to scroll through them isn't
obvious. I haven't played GTR for some time and so can't advise you as
to what specifics to look for when scrolling, but they are there.

I tried scrolling down 4 or 5 times on every menu.

ok, step 1
load the demo
step 2
at the bottom press the controller button
step 3
clik on one of 4 options in the middle of the screen, those four options
are Driving / Accesories / Game / Extra
The option you want is DRIVING. They don't look like buttons just text.
then listed from the top are:
Acellerate
Brake
SteerLeft
SteerRight
ShiftUp
ShiftDown
Neutral
Clutch
PitLaneSpeedLimiter <<<======Here it is. no scrolling needed on my 1024rez
LCDMode

Apparently, the version I have doesn't have pit limiter. See screen shot:

have you tried accessories, game, and extra?

Weve only had two versions. The first was the Press demo and its Pit
Limiter button was under accessories section and required you scroll down
(which I believe you have). The actual demo that was released a couple
weeks ago the Pit Limiter is on the driving page and you can see it without
scrolling.
