rec.autos.simulators

I know there are some problems with N2, but is this true?  On my setup
screen there are options at the bottom to Print, Save and Delete, but
no way to load saved setups. The picture in the book shows an option
to Load. Also, there is no way to toggle between Autobrake Off and On,
and if I go to the Graphic Options screen any time while I'm at a
track, it goes into 640x480 and wont go back into low-res.  I'm sure
this has been brought up before, but I haven't seen any mention of it
lately.  I know there are some bugs in N2, but I doubt Papyrus forgot
to include or couldn't figure out how to include a way to load setups
(I learned to load external files in my first Computer Science class).
I don't see why there would be any problem with my copy of the
program, but any info would be appreciated.
                        Thanks,
                                Buie

If you have done a full install, then you can load your saved setups by
clicking on the little arrow to the right of the current setup.  That
opens up the list; click on a new one and it will load.  If you haven't
done a full install, I understand that you need to open the CD-ROM drawer
and then click on the arrow and that forces the program to default to the
setups on the harddrive (it currently defaults to the CD); then when the
setup is loaded, put the CD back in.  Hope this helps.

Okay you've confessed that hard drive space is a premium for you.  This
problem only arises with a partial install.  I think that is why this
bug snuck in at the last minute in the rush to get N2 out by Christmas.

I hope you got the little sheet with In-Car Keyboard Commands.  Take a
look at it and I think you will find that <ALT-B> will toggle Autobrake.

Check out the NASCAR Racing 2 FAQ at

it should answer these questions and more.
