1. I online race a lot and i race on papy servers but how do i find out what my rateings are? 2. On my own personal car setup I am not able to lower the amount of gas in the car, when in garage and where the gas amount is adjusted it is not lighted...any ideas? Thanks, todd
The Papyrus Nascar sims force you to start with 22gallons of fuel. This is to make sure all cars are of equal weight. While I dont' think there is a rule prohibiting starting with a partial load of fuel, the reality is I can't recall a Winston Cup event that had somebody try that. You can run a testing session and reduce your fuel load to work on setups that are balanced more with a partially empty tank, but once the racing starts. You get a full tank. To access your ratings, while in the arena chat area, click on your name on the lower right. Then click on the P that is located near the names. That will give you the results of your rankings. To get slightly more detail. press ctrl & shift while viewing your P rankings. dave henrie "Todd" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Ppod7.112796$[email hidden]... > 1.

There actually is a rule forcing them to qualify with a full fuel load. I'm not sure if there is a rule about starting a race with a full load, but it wouldn't make sense to start with less. Once you are racing you can control your fuel load on pit stops with the F3 key in a fairly realistic way, the only difference being that you pick the amount by 1/2 can increments and in real life they time the fuel going in on a gas and go and they have tested how much fuel per second goes into the car so they know to take 3 secs of fuel or whatever.

When I click on my own name I get the message "could not read the profile". This seems to occur only with my own name and not with other drivers. Does someone know how to fix this or what the problem is? Thanks in advance, Pascal.
UserIDs with periods (and a couple of other punctuation characters that I can't recall of the top of my head) can't be read by the ratings system, so it is HIGHLY recommended that you limit your UserID to alphanumeric characters. - Eric "Pascal Dukers" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ditd7.7595$[email hidden]... > When I click on my own name I get the message "could not read theprofile". > This seems to occur only with my own name and not with other drivers.Does > someone know how to fix this or what the problem is?
Eric, I have a punctuation in my name, so that should be the problem. Thank you for the information :-)) Pascal. "Eric Busch" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9l6b85$knh$[email hidden]...
