Hi chaps..

I did some testing at 'the Glen' last night and found by accident a few bugs
i hadnt nothiced before.. :-)

First of all.. during test-sessions the pitcrew dont seem to change any
tires at all - it looks like they're just practicing aswell :-) Because
they sure dont carrie or move any tires around as they work..... You see
them carrieing '"something" around.. but it looks like air.. any
particulare reason the wheels/tires are invisible ?

2 bug is alot more funny tho... The fuel-man is filling the tank - on the
wrong side of the car - i.e the *right-hand side*!
Unless the WC-teams build a special car for the Glen with the gas-cap on the
'wrong' side - this must be a bug :-)

Either that or we'll have to re-paint our 'Glen cars' :-)

Anyone got any status on the next patch for N4?

I think that when on "Gilligans Island" at Sonoma (Sears Point) and at the
Glen, the cars are built with the fuel nozzle is on the right side of the
car due to the setup of the pits causing the pit wall to be on the right
side of the car.

That's true, it's the only track where the fuel goes in on the right.

"No Tires" bug. It could be your video card drives, ever since I've upgraded
my NVIDIA GeFarce card drivers to the 12.90 beta I have seen damaged cars
going around the track with no wheels. Also even with the maximum numbers of
cars drawn in forward/mirrors view, I only see 1/2 dozen cars at the start
line.

"Pit Crew" bug. You should see my "Pit Flip" replay, where one mighty strong
jackman flips my car 100ft in the air (ala GPL exploding start line grid
explosion) and I land on the other side of the pit wall and take a tour of
the garages. At least I got into "Victory Lane". LOL granted that was
pre-patch.

The graphics suck in this game in D3D, I want 3Dfx back!

Oh that reminds me, gotta go check for my bi-weekly detonator driver update.
See ya
