F12001 pitting

I am wanting to get into longer racers using pit strategy, but in practice for whatever reason I can't seem to get a pit request to take. I mapped the pit request function in the controllers option to one of my buttons on my Momo, but I never get a pit crew. What's the trick to pitting in F12001? Don Burnette

Don; You hit the S key(or your map does), and nothing happens when you pit? Do the lights come on on your wheel? -John Don Burnette <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:lhp28.747610$[email hidden]...

I don't get the crew during practice sessions either. Seems to work OK during the race itself, though. Only problem is that I take a major frame rate hit when the boys are standing there waiting for me to come in. Pitting really does add another dimension to the race. One time, I neglected to pay close enough attention to my "crew ready" indicator, and failed to notice that my team-mate had come in for HIS stop. Into the pits I cruise, only to find that I have to drive right through and try again next lap. DOH! :) -Doug Victoria, B.C.

No, I haven't seen the lights come on the wheel. I have only been trying it in practice, maybe it doesn't work in practice? Don Burnette "John Pancoast" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Don; > You hit the S key(or your map does), and nothing happens when you pit?Do

Oops, sorry, should have read your question better. No, I don't believe they work in practice, only the race. And hope you're not pitting in front of a following AI car; they'll smack the hell out of you :) -John Don Burnette <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:pYs28.2264$[email hidden]... > No, I haven't seen the lights come on the wheel.

Does F1 2001 have the same blue flag problem as CS 2k? If you have a problem and get lapped, then get going again even if you are faster than the leaders, you'll get a blue flag warning as soon you pass a front runner. Unless you immeadiately break contact, you keep getting blue flag warnings until you have to pit to answer a black flag. Usually if your are catching ONE car, you can pass and continue before getting the black flag penalty. But if you catch a line of cars, then it's almost impossible to dispatch the cars ahead of you before the blue flag warnings hit you from a car you have recently passed. dave henrie "John Pancoast" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Oops, sorry, should have read your question better.

I've never seen that Dave, but haven't fired it up in awhile either. -John Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Qvt28.2412$[email hidden]... > Does F1 2001 have the same blue flag problem as CS 2k?

Hmm...how would that work in a REAL F1 race? I'm guessing they'd do the same thing...

No if you were OBVIOUSLY faster, i.e. re--catching and PASSING the leaders, then they wouldn't blue flag you. Of course the big-snot...er Big Shot drivers might be upset if you got interjected into their little fight, but we all know there is no on-track racing in F1 so that shouldn't be a problem. dave henrie "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > In article <Qvt28.2412$[email hidden]>, "Dave Henrie" > <[email hidden]> writes: > > > Does F1 2001 have the same blue flag problem as CS 2k?
