Autosim unpause suggestion

Here's an idea I had recently. In these autosims we play (ICR2/GP2/Nascar etc) why not put in a delay of a few seconds between when the sim is unpaused, so that we can get our hands back on the controls before the action restarts. With things as they are now, there's a 50/50 chance of screwing the pooch (for me anyway). The wife gets pretty annoyed when I tell her to wait for me to get into a safe place before I can pay attention to what she's saying. Cheers Jason -- ---------------------------------- Jason A.

GP2 already does this. If you pause or save a game, on the restart you can have a 20 second replay. If you choose your***pit view, then it is just like you are driving (because you were!). It certainly helps when you unpause. Julian _____________________________________________________________________ University of Oxford

I disagree. When the replay ends, the game goes paused again, and then you have to press 'P' to unpause, whereupon the action immediately resumes. That's how I recall it, and it is this instant return to action before I get my hands back in position that gives me a problem. I see what you getting at though, but unfortunately, that doesn't really get at the root of the matter. Thanks anyway -- ---------------------------------- Jason A.
