N2 - Crossed Flags

Has anyone else noticed that the crossed flags you are supposed to receive at half distance make their appearance a few laps after half distance?? It seems to vary when the spotter mentions the crossed flags, but on my system it seems to occur about 1,2, or 3 laps after 50% of the laps have been completed. It has never occurred on the correct lap, though! I'm sure it's not just my system... Comments, please.

Hi Rob. I have heard the spotter mention the Crossed Flag but I have never seen it. -- Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports Nascar Coruba & Coke Chevy Hamilton New Zealand

It does the same thing with me. Probably just an extremely minor bug. --

The spotter mentions the halfway mark when the leader takes the crossed flags (not neccessarily YOU). You could be a lap down or so, but the spotter tells you when the LEADER takes it. Also, you won't PHYSICALLY see the halfway mark.

Same here. Ran my IGN race there Sunday night and got it on lap 75 of 146 laps. Mike Frazer

But the poster says 1-3 laps AFTER 50% mark. If the mark came for the leader and you are down laps, then it would appear BEFORE YOUR 50% mark. If you are on the lead lap, then the delay is a bug, no? ----- Scott D Fraser '95 Ford Contour SE '97 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 4x4 ============================================================= The opinions made up here are my own.
