Has anyone else noticed that the Players Min-Max settings for aggression, drag, power and traction are less than the top 10-12 drivers? Would this make us inherently slower no matter what we do to our setups? If I change my settings and make them the same as Terry's, will I be able to run up front? I know that the difference between the Min-Max settings controls how consistent you are but would bumping my Max setting in drag from 500 to 565 make me faster? SR.

REPLY: Second this one as well.... This one always had me wondering. Q.B.M.

The player's ratings have always been lower then the top drivers. Assuming you had the exact same setup and drove the exact same line (I know it's impossible) yes, you would be slower than the better computer drivers. But because you have the ability to infinitely adjust your line and car setup, it all evens out in the end. If the cars are too fast, drop them down to 98% strength. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

I have not yet tried to tinker with these in nascar2 but in nascar1; the levels on the player in the drivers.txt or drivers2.txt did not seem to alter my performance at all. You can however change your performance in the track.txt files in nascar1. I would assume that this is the same in nascar2 but I have not tried it yet so I am not positive. I hope this helps.

Increasing the drag value would make you slower. -- ______________________________________________________________________ | | | ____ ___ ___| | Mike Schreiner |CNSRL ADMIN. | ---\ / / /__ | |http://pages.prodigy.com/CNSRL | | --\ / /---/_ | | "Mick" on Hawaii |Earnhardt Rules!!| -\/ / / | | "Mick_S" on Ten | | / | ----------------------------------------------------------------------

It is possible that the settings are just for when that person is cpu controlled? For example if I'm driving it those settings mean squat. Parts of this game are like a job. I mean we shouldn't really have to be asking this here now should we? We should open the manual and it should plainly give us the answer. Q.B.M.
