Re: N4 post patch - no cautions anymore?

I've just started racing 40%-50% races, and I've also noticed no cautions. Is it that the patch has made the AI cars 'better behaved' which has indirectly screwed up cautions? And if that's true, then can some numbers be changed in the *.ini file or 'Opponents' screen? PJ "OK" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I ran a short race at Richmond (30% or so) in which Bobby Labonte ran over a fictional car. I think he was trying to get to me for wrecking him earlier in the race.

I have run over 4,000 laps at daytona and talladega and have seen 1 caution in those laps. And there were several wrecks that should have brought the yellow flag out. "OK" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yes, there are definately still cautions.. I am running a championship and yesterday in the race I ran, there were 3 cautions that were not caused by me. Also, Dale Jr blew his engine.. so I know that the AI are having breakdowns "OK" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
