N4- Damage Not Being Reported

Is it just me, or are the spotters not reporting damage you have?

I've bent fenders up so I could see them, and the spotter never says
anything.

When the DO say something, they always wait until you are are passed any
hope of entering the pits.

They are also slow with their car high/low warnings.

Some work needs to be done here.

Have you ever seen in a race where a car is damaged?  Sometimes the spotters
can not even tell and they ask a car behind them to let them know if and how
bad they are damaged.

Often times the spotter won't see the damage until you have made most of a
lap or so.
I make it a habit to check F9 right after contact has been made and if it
says repair then I know I have some damage somewhere.

Some people do nothing wrong.
The problem is, they do nothing.
And THAT is wrong.

The spotter will not se the damage until you pass the line.

You're right about the other late calls.

I can only compare it to the way it used to be.

Oh, besides, my Dog can tell when the RF tire is flat.  He'll at least bark
:)

I've had the spotter never say a thing, and I find out by hitting turn 1 and
sliding straight up into the wall.

That's a good idea, Don.  Thanks :)

It still needs to be fixed, though.  Spotter Lag is pretty serious in N4.

Sometimes, they never see it at all :(

If you drive like you're supposed to and don't hit stuff, you won't have to
worry about damage.  ;)
