Why in N4 does the engine keep cutting out for a split second while driving?? The thing sounds terrible and hurts performance. I swear this game just keeps getting more and more dissapointing... -Wes
You honestly should understand the game before you get upset with it for doing it. You engine can be cutting out for a few reasons.. one is you are running out of gas, but probably the reason yours is doing it is because you are hitting the Rev Limiter. Tweak your gears a little bit or if you are not already in 4th gear, shift up. "Wes" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:KVCh6.250912$[email hidden]...

Is this happening at all the tracks or just Daytona and Taledega? At these tracks they run restrictor plates and will cut out around 7000 rpms. "Wes" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:KVCh6.250912$[email hidden]...

You are are hitting the rev limiter, watch the rpm's, especially at the restrictor plate tracks. Steve Paradise "Wes" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:KVCh6.250912$[email hidden]...

Shift to 5th if your car has it.

I had the same problem. Turns out that the pot on my accelerator pedal is going. In gpl it is unoticable, but in N4 it sounds like an electrical problem.
Mine was doing it also in the demo. I went from a T2 to a Pro Digital 2 Thrustmaster and the problem was solved. It could be the pots in your steering wheel IF you are using one. Try playing the game using the keyboard and see if it goes away..............
