When I pull out of the pits in n2 all i get is tire squel sound it doesn't make the rear end swing around or make smoke or fluctuate the rpms. Is there a way to solve this? or is it the right way?
Make sure the graphics are turned on (smoke option) because it does smoke when I do it. It will also turn around, so try this: come to a complete stop and cut the wheel or joystick all the way left or right, then floor it and hold the gas. It will spin. This is very useful for when you are pointed 180 degrees the wrong direction... My tach does redline when I smoke the tires, but I don't know why yours wouldn't. All in all, the wheelspin is not as good as that of Grand Prix II, but this is a killer game nonetheless! > When I pull out of the pits in n2 all i get is tire squel sound it > doesn't make the rear end swing around or make smoke or fluctuate the > rpms.

HI. I found that I could get out of my pit easier by spinning the tires a little and turning the wheel. Also lets you turn car around on track easier. ***

If you are using a digital control (key or button) for accelerator, you must DOUBLE TAP (press, release, press and hold) to get wheel spin. If you are using an anlog controller, just NAIL it. Hold on the first time, as the car is going to be more squirrelly than you've ever seen. You can get a handle on it fairly quickly though. Might want to try it out in practice a few times before you need it in a race though... ---Jim Sokoloff, Papyrus

Is there a way to solve this? or is it the right way? Assuming you're using a joystick (it seems to be automatic with pedals), you need to double-click the accelerate button and then the third press of the button will "turn on" the wheel spin...

Actually all you need is two clicks. Hold down on second click and wheels will spin. Regards, ---Wayne.

I noticed this new feature very quickly as a result. Otherwise it's nigh on impossible to get out of some of the pits without reversing. Mind you, I haven't bothered trying to fiddle with wheel lock either... I love the way the revs race up and the car weaves about. Great stuff.

I've noticed that I only get wheel spin when I turn the turbo on on my joystick. Bob Rice http://pwp.usa.pipeline.com/~arrice/motorhom.htm

You must "double tap" the accelerator to get wheels with button accelerator. That's probably what your turbo button does (repeatedly presses and releases the button). You should turn off the turbo feature, as it might cause the game to believe you are constantly on and off the throttle and thus won't give you full power... ---Jim Sokoloff, Papyrus
