Hi All, After running every version of Nascar racing from the first up to N3, I finally got a computer capable of running N4. My first question is can the races be saved after the 3rd lap like the previous versions. I run full seasons at 100% length and if I have to start from the end of the previous session this may be too time consuming. My 2nd question is about the force feedback wheel. I use a MS Sidewinder force and I have to switch to optimized driver (which has no effect at all), switch back to directinput driver and then reconfigure the wheel. If I don't do this, my wheel has no resistance at all, making it nearly impossible to drive. I tried running the software that came with the wheel but it hasn't fixed the problem. The wheel works fine when I go through this, but it's getting tedious. Thanks in advance, Tim

Only between sessions. As for the Sidewinder, can't help ya there. good luck. dave henrie

Check to see if the fault's somewhere else? Sorry I couldn't be of more help...
Have you checked to see if your player configuration file is read-only?
