Hi

I'm currently running a full season on ICR2 with damage set to realistic.
During my last race I got hit up the rear by one of the AI cars which spun
me around and created a huge pile up. My car was a write-off and I expected
half the field to join me, but after switching to accelerated time and looking
at the standings I was surprised to see that no cars had retired due to the crash.
This is a pain, I like the tension that the realistic damage creates (you really
don't want to make a mistake!) but if the AI cars are in say `arcade' mode it's
a bit pointless. Is there anything I can do to rectify this?

Cheers

Alan

PS

It's a great simulator though - I still prefer
it to GP2.

Did you check the laps completed by the AI cars involved? It's possible
they did suffer damage (just not terminal) and pitted for repair and
lost laps...

Well, I drive with realistic damage as well. Almost every time I***
up or get
caught by the AI, I relieve my anger by smashing into some other car
with full speed.
And every other time the other car doesn't even have a scratch and just
goes on.
So the damage is realistic for the player, and only sometimes for the
AI!
Isn't that mean? 8^)
