clarification on a couple of things in NR2003

Hey Guys, I would like some help on a few things in NR2003 that I can't figure out: 1) What do GNS, Cup Damage do? Do they have their own physics? 2) What is the difference in Arcade mode to Sim mode? 3) Does the game have a proper "Shift-R" like in GPL? 4) When I enable adaptive speed control, and start from the back, do they go really slow until I pass them all? What I mean is, Do the AI work better with it off or on? 5) Where can I get some really good base setups for PWF/TPTCC?

1. Typical damage model, bent metal, broken wheels, blown engines. There is a patch by PWF that "adds" to the visual damage, such as caved in door panels. Each model "drives" a little different, if that is what you mean by their own physics. 2. Arcade is easier to drive, less accurate and more forgiving. 3. No shift r function. 4. They seem to drive a baseline speed and then depending on how you drive, they adjust from there. I personally, prefer the setting that adjusts AFTER the race (can't recall the actual term in the game for it). I can run a series of races at a track that I am weaker at and the game constantly adjusts the AI % over time. After about 10 10% races, I usually kick it up a click above the generated % and use that until I improve again. 5. www.setup-guru.com RubberGoat wrote: > Hey Guys, I would like some help on a few things in NR2003 that Ican't > figure out: > > 1) What do GNS, Cup Damage do?

I think I can help with a couple of your questions: Sim vs Arcade-In Sim mode your car set up dtermines how the car acts....in Arcade you are driving a basic pre set car set up. Adaptive Speed-the cars don't go slow until you pass them, but they do seem to let you catch up. I use it and often I can pass the pack but not the lead 1 or 2 cars...and sometimes I can. What they do is adapt to your speed to some extent. I have found that even with Adaptive, the "AI percentage" you set makes a big difference. Hope this helps. Based on my observations, so if I am in error, someone will I am sure--correct me.

#3 Shift-R in N2003 will put the car back in the pit stall, with no damage and new tires, which differs a little from the GPL Shift-R which put you back on the track roughly where you went off. Ed

They do, until race time... and qualifying for that matter, then disabled just like the menu Dave Henrie wrote:
