I have noticed that when I get the pole at Martinsville, all of the cars line up on the far outside groove and simply "ride" around the track at reduced speeds. Anyone else have this problem at this or any of the other tracks? It is very annoying....... -- **************************************** ****************************************

I got the pole at Loudon yesterday, and the same thing happened. It resolves itself only when I spin someone and a caution comes out. Then we go back racing and the drivers race. I believe I read here earlier that this is a known bug and papyrus is soon to release a patch. Steven

Yes, it is a known bug. Someone had a note from Papyrus that they posted here about a week ago that mentioned they were going to deliver a fix for it on their BBS/FTP site. Any news??(Also are they fixing the yellow flag problems??) ** The opinions/ideas expressed are my own, I in no way speak for IBM ** *=========================================================================* * Dan Wiggins | (512) 838-2275 fax (512) 838-8989 | IBM Zip 9360 * * IBM Austin | t/l 678-2275 t/l 678-8989 | * * PSP - LAN Sys. | 11400 Burnet Rd, Austin, TX 78758 | TEAMOS/2 * *=========================================================================*
