Pit Stops ?? HOW ??

Pit Stops ?? HOW ??

by Andrew Conache » Mon, 25 Sep 1995 04:00:00

I have recently purchased NASCAR IBM PC CD-ROM SVGA

I must be stupid....but...can someone please tell me...
How do you get new tyres, damage fixed etc....???

I have stopped in the pits at the crew area, but I can't
get any action.  There's s'posed to be a timer(?) but I can't
get anything to work.

The manual doesn't explain how to activate tyre changes etc.

HELP  PLEASE !

Common problem, can't get action in the pits, and the manual doesn't say
anything. Let me guess, you're stopping with the reverse button. You still
can, but the crew won't work if you don't press the brake button. If you
don't press the brakes, you don't get fixed up.

Thought I'ld post a response I got...


..Sean suggested downloading the version 1.21 PATCH from
ftp.std.com /vendors/papyrus

(which I already had)

The problem was initially the PATCH problem...secondly, I was using
external views, when switching back to internal view (F10), for pit stops
you have to bring up pit menu (F9) and then hit ESC.  This brings up the
timer, and results in pit stop activity.

Thanks to Sean.
