Here's another one that threw me for a bit until I understood what was going on... The Left/Right weight adjustment, due to it's positioning on the screen, is counter-intuitive. If you are used to Nascar Racing 3, you will naturally click on the right arrow to move the weight to the right, and the left arrow to move the weight to the left. For a while, I couldn't understand why biasing the Left/Rear weight appeared to be exactly the opposite of N3, and the natural way of things. Then it dawned on me. The Left/Right arrows don't point to the direction of the weight. It simply means increasing or decreasing the amount of weight on the LEFT side of the car. It does not relate to the right side at all, directly. Yeah, it says it right in front of your face, but the way it's presented and placed on the screen it's counter-intuitive. Ed - you might want to consider an interface change for this in the future. What's there is fine _once_ you blind yourself to what you think you see, and your brain actually absorbs the words above the arrows :) -Larry
