ICR2 Fuel/Pitstop problem

4 posts by 4 people · 31 Oct 1996 - 02 Nov 1996

Hi All I'm having a problem with ICR2 which I noticed last night for the first time. I was working on a new setup and wanted to go into the pits to stock up on fuel, but only wanted 10 gals. I called up the pit comms fuel window and tried to adjust it from 40 to whatever. The `40' was highlighted in yellow, but I couldn't adjust it. I've been through the manual, down what it says, but no joy. Is this a known bug? I can't believe it is since I've patched the sim with both patches. It's really aggravating :-(. Please help! cheers Alan -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The views/opinions expressed here are my own and do not in any way reflect the views/opinions of my employer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In ICR2 unlike ICR1 you CAN NOT, while on the track or in the pits, remove fuel from the car (eg: there's 34g in the car, I now want 15g). If you want less fuel that what currently is in the tank, this has to be done in the garage. __o _-\<,_ Cosmo Potapoff
Well, first of all, was your car sitting at 40 gallons when you tried to adjust? You can only bring the nuber of gallons down from 40 to what you currently have in your car. Let's say, I had 22 gallons and adjusted from 40. I can get 22 gallons on my next stop, but no less, because you can onlu ADD fuel, and not take fuel out. Steven Daniels Bretzman Motorsports

I had a simular problem but I understand what it does.. I was racing along and decided that to finish the race I only needed 15 gals on my last pit stop. Since at that moment I had more than 15 in the car at the time I had to wait until the car was under the 15 gals. to switch it. I don't think it is a bug. It's more like a "reality" feature not included. If I want only 15 gals in the car but pit while I have 20, then the crew simply doesn't add any, and I leave with the 20. But I should still be able to tell the crew what I want. It's up to them to figure out if there is anything they can do for me. The work around is to wait until the crew understands you request.
