NASCAR pit trouble

8 posts by 8 people · 15 Dec 1995 - 27 Dec 1995

Most of the times when I am leaving the pits during crowded times an AI car will scream out of its pit and smack right into me! I've always been in the through lane when this happens. It's as though they don't know I'm there. It's ruined several good starts for me. Certain somebody else has had this happen? It seems like a pretty serious bug. Matt
I've had that happen once in a while. My real complaint, however, is that my pit crew is just plain slow as molasses! give me an option to fire em' and get some good one! how about a Felix Sabates option? Go offer a million bucks to Larry McReynolds! hehehehe seriously though, I'd like to see faster pit stops or perhaps an option where the more they practice, the better they get! Go #6 Mark Martin and #16 Ted Musgrave - Jack Roush Racing!! NASCAR Racing!! http://innet.com/~sean/nascar/nascar.html <--NASCAR Racing Sim page

Rubbin' is just racin'! I've never been hit by a car pulling out, though I've had a few close calls. I have been hit getting into my pit, which was no fun, particularly since I ended up facing the wrong way. But Jeff Gordon got turned around by someone at Rockingham on his way into the pits. Rusty's front end got smashed up by a loose tire coming down pit road. Them's just the breaks. Dave

Careful, your RF tire changer might get pissed off at you and walk off, it happened to Rusty ! It would be a nice touch to have improving pit crews but it will probaly never happen. So depending which track your on try and time it so you only have to take on right sides during your last stop. MP

Try adjusting the agressiveness of the drivers in the cars/drivers file, if it is the same *** (car) that does this to you. As for improving the pits; what about an option of taking on two wheels only, and lesser fuel? Matthew B. Knutsen
Just try to get up to speed right away...they can't hit you if you are right around 55mph, if they exceed it they will be coming back for a stop and go. Short tracks are scary for this...if nothing else wait the extra second, you might lose track position, but you will still be in the race.

The manual gives detailed instructions on how to radio your pit crew while driving, so the next time you pit, they only do what you asked for.
