N4...another cool thing

During pitting under green at Daytona, the spotter said, "Uh, oh, they're having trouble with the lug nuts.....okay, now they got 'em." I lost 3 or 4 seconds! James

Very cool. Cheers, Rod.

If you're in jeopardy of going a lap down, can you stop the repairs, leave and come around again?

Yup. On the F9 Pit Stop Pop-up..just press the space bar. Then blast out of the pits. Don't be too surprised if you don't have a lot of time in the pits the second time around. Those pit road speeds can be killer!

**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** Does this actually _work_ now? In N3, this never worked right. You just sat there for the same amount of time it would have taken for the repairs to finish in the first place :( -Larry "Michael Basden" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8ZQi6.238087$[email hidden]... > Yup.

You just had to remember that after pressing SPACE you had about 10seconds of wait before they jacked you down. I believe it's like that also in N4, to simulate the time it takes for the crew to stop working on the car and let you go. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- People think it must be fun to be a genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** Well, all I know is if all I wanted was a splash of gas, no repairs, and no tires, that was the longest damned drink of Gas I ever saw! -Larry "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8vYi6.13306$[email hidden]... > >"Dog-Leg" <[email hidden]> wrote > > In N3, this never worked right.
