Another NASCAR pit help

5 posts by 5 people · 20 Jun 1995 - 21 Jun 1995

I bought Nascar CD-rom version a couple of weeks ago and updated it from Papurys ftp to version 1.2. Anyway the 20-page "manual" that I have is uncredibly scarce source of information. I notice that everytime I pit to change a tyre or repair (I figured out myself how to calibrate these) pit crew fills the whole tank of gasoline no matter what I do, this is very frustrating when racing at the end of race with almost empty tank (light, fast car) you get more weight and lose a lot of time. So is there possibility to alter that green *fill up to* option to something else than 22 gallonas, when pitting in the race? Also there appears to be green options in gross weight (F6?) info putton, is it possible also to change these (and possiblyother set ups of the car) during the pit stop without going to garage (which is not possible during t he race anyway)? (please do not answer that check the manual more carefully, I have done that dozens of times) Thanks for pieces of advices, JTS.

Then, use < or > to change the number of gallons you want pumped in. And don't worry about people saying "RTFM," we pity you folks using the infamous European manual! Hasn't Papyrus offered to send U.S. manuals if you call their customer assistance line? Good luck. -- David A.

JTS, The reason for the F* buttons is for making changes during a pitstop. You alter them by using the "<",">" keys to increase or decrease the highlighted numbers. For example, when it shows you the fuel at 22 gallons, use < to decrease it. Hope that helps.

No, not really. The US manual contains licensed NASCAR properties that Papyrus does not have European licenses for. Thus, Papyrus cannot legally send a US manual. (*** handles the European market for NASCAR Racing [the simulation that is, not the actual "real life" sport].) *** has agreed to print a proper manual and exchange it free of charge for your current European manual. Contact your local *** sales office. Good luck. ---Jim
Er are you sure?? Try pressing F3 before you come in and using the "<", ">" keys to specify the fill to option. Jed --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
