NASCAR 4 Damage bug?

Yesterday I ran a race at Dover with damage switched to none. In practice I had a shunt and managed to sustain body damage. Thinking I had switched damage on by mistake I also crashed heavily in qualifying and the race yet sustained no damage and when I got back to the menu I did see that damage was none. Odd!

Yes, it's a bug. With Damage Off you can still sustain damage in practice, or in qualifying- I think. "Chris Bloom" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9fcov1$kno$[email hidden]... > Yesterday I ran a race at Dover with damage switched to none. In practiceI

I don't know about the practice session, but, with damage set to "off" you can sustain damage in qualifying. It was part of the patch. "Peter C.

It's not a bug. Since the patch, damage is always enabled in qualifing to try to prevent "pinballing" around the track to get the pole. - Eric "Peter C.

That was changed to try and police wall riding during qualifying I beleive. dave henrie "Jon Nelson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ZerS6.102066$[email hidden]... > I don't know about the practice session, but, with damage set to "off"you > can sustain damage in qualifying.

And a very sound decision in my view. I stand/sit corrected. "Eric Busch" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9fdqin$iqj$[email hidden]...

Huh? I thought they "fixed" the wallriding issue by having the car deaccelerate on the straightaways if you tried accelerating while against the wall. -Tim "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:jguS6.102950$[email hidden]...

Eric specifically said the issue is for drivers that "pinball" the walls, which is different then wall riding. You pinball the wall when you use it to bounce your car in the turns, thus you only touch the wall a fraction of a second. Try it at Martinsville, like a cross-corner pool trick ;) -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...
