Anyone else noticed this? I've been experimenting, watching several races and there's rarely any breakdowns, any way of fixing this? I went to the players ini file and changed the MechanicalFailures=0 to =1 and after every championship race it reverts back to =0. I even went into each car file and turned the reliability down to 0-5, still same results. It must be a bug or am I missing something?
It's not a "Read only" file is it?? "BusterKing" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Vbej6.170$[email hidden]...

I didn't pick up N4 yet, so excuse me if this seems like a stupid comment, but can't you just set them from a menu instead of editing the .ini? What I was wondering is that if they are switched "off" in the menu and "on" in the .ini, if they'll be reset by the interface as soon as you fire up a game.

**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** Rarely breakdowns? Man, I've blown more gears and blown more tires, and had more air-wrench jams and dropped lug nuts than I ever thought possible :) Last weekend, I had the FIRST clean start I ever saw at Talladega. Made it completely around 1 lap where no one was stupid. Then, going into turn one on the second lap, whammo! LEFT front tire blew. Debris I guess :) We won't talk about the 1/2 the field I took out as a result :) Oh, and losing 4th gear at Daytona _really_ sucks, especially when you were running 3rd. -Larry "BusterKing" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Vbej6.170$[email hidden]...
