Nascar: I've been HOGed

Now we're jynxed. I never experienced HOG until you guys started talking about it. The other day I was practicing Bristol on Mult. A couple of laps after pitting for tires, coming out of turn four and WHAM. For a split second I thought maybe I forgot to change a tire and Papyrus's blown tire simulation was horrific! When I came to rest in a strange location I knew something was weird. The replay looked like I went in the infield then back on the track at right angles. Man... My neck hurts. Mike Radler

Sounds like a HOG expierience I went through, as I was coming through turn 2 in Talladega in a Multiplayer race with a college friend, I hit the apron then the next thing I know I was in the air and flying over grandstands, then I teleported back down going 300+ MPH and blew my engine. That was horrible since there was 50 laps to go in a 100% Race Length race. My college friend was behind me and said "How the hell did you get in the air?" He said that my car looked stupid in the air. =( Has the HOG been cured? Mark Fields ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Cheers!

Hey, at least it was in a practice session <g>. Your neck might be stiff now, but if it'd happened during a race (or, shudder, a Hawaii league race!), you'd probably be in traction! We've posted a test version of MULTI.EXE for Hawaii which should resolve HOG ... it's up on Hawaii as MULTBETA.ZIP. Cheers. Charlie Heath Papyrus Design Group

Hehehe! It's a real pain when it happens in a Hawaii race. Dave (davids) Sparks Late Night League http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html

Does this qualify as a HOG? I got damage and hit Alt. I on the front straight at Michigan. The "tow truck" took me right through the pit wall and blew all 4 tires off, and ripped the fenders and bumpers right off of the car! What's the deal? Tom

Hmm, was John Andretti driving the Tow Truck by chance?? andy

Man! I'm starting to feel sorry for John... I think if he ever does manage to win a race, the trophy will be bent (damaged)! ;) Larry -- ____- /\ ____- /**\ HOME: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/2412 __L_- /****\ __J_- /** -- **\ ____- /**/----\**\ Check my HOME Page for ORIGINAL ____- /**/ \**\ Modified Stock Car Stuff! - --- 812 ---

That's a behavior of the tow truck if you use it offline or in head-to-head. To my knowledge, it doesn't happen when you race online.

...OR, if you use the tow truck and don't give the man a decent tip! Mike (hey, even virtual tow truck drivers have feelings, too) <this space reserved for a witty tag line>

You didn't get blackflagged for entering a closed pit. The penalty for entering a closed pit is to go to the back of the field when the 1 till green message comes out. You may have gotten black flagged for passing under yellow though, if the tow truck towed you past another car under yellow, but I doubt that that happened. If it did though, report it to Ed, Adam, et. al. at Papyrus. We don't need the NRL officials blackflagging drivers for what the tow truck driver is doing. David Martin

There was a bug in the 1.37 version of MULTBETA and it is no longer available. A new release should be available soon. Dave (davids) Sparks Late Night League http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html
