Ed, I fully understand _why_ the cars drift to the left in Nascar Heat (stagger, springs, etc...), and surely appreciate the attention to detail presented in the Physics of Nascar Heat. However, this is one point of realism that I could do without :) I find it annoying and I think it's going to add to the number of incidents presented, especially in multiplayer racing. An option to turn off this option in the Physics would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks! -Larry

Uh, that's not what I mean :) I would like to see this treated more like a steering option. I don't want to have to resort completely to "no-wrecks-allowed" mode :) -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

CPR did this three years ago. I don't think Heat would want to go back in time and drop this type of accuracy.

exactly!! you guys certainly seem to be taking the right attitude in developing this sim.... thanks! p.s.- loved the demo... gotta go try the hardcore mode i just heard about here.... "Ed Martin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:CIRl5.26770$[email hidden]...

Create a fully left-right symmetric setup, and it will cure it. But your lap times will suffer. -Gregor

Well, there's not an option to turn it off, per se, in the final version. It's certainly something that can be "fixed" with setups, though, and I'm sure there will be TONS of setups out there when this puppy ships. Remember, this happens in Expert & Hardcore modes - the simulation side of NASCAR Heat. That's where it's supposed to happen. :-) "Cox Cable News" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:azBl5.14322$[email hidden]... > Ed, > > I fully understand _why_ the cars drift to the left in Nascar Heat(stagger, > springs, etc...), and surely appreciate the attention to detail presentedin > the Physics of Nascar Heat. > > However, this is one point of realism that I could do without :) > > I find it annoying and I think it's going to add to the number ofincidents

We yell and SCREAM that we WANT realism...we want physics, we want want want...but. NOW we WANT to be able to turn all those things off! Damn fine effort guys....keep it up....and as we do with all our postings to the Papy crew.... "We NEED an Updated CART sim!" :) dave henrie

If you were to remove the car wanting to veer left on straights, then you'd certainly expect that the car would likely understeer more when taking a turn? If you can do without it, then either set your car up that stops it from veering left (but don't expect to turn your laps as fast) or use normal mode? I think this makes the physics a tad more forgiving when barreling down the straights? Cheers, Rod.
