N2 fuel problem

Hi, Having just acquired N2 and have never really followed any threads about it, I now realise I can't change the fuel level, it seems greyed out... It this an early problem that has been patched? Thanks JFD

: Hi, : Having just acquired N2 and have never really followed any threads : about it, I now realise I can't change the fuel level, it seems greyed : out... It this an early problem that has been patched? Actual NASCAR rules require that the car have a full fuel load. This is part of the "weight" requirements. Therefore you can not change the fuel load during practice/qualifying/start of race. You will however be able to set the fuel load during solo Testing at a track. -- **************************** Michael E.

> I now realise I can't change the fuel level, it seems greyed >out... It this an early problem that has been patched? Nope -- it reflects the rule that qualifying must be done with a full fuel load. The only place you can adjust the amount of fuel is in practice. | )/-\(_)|__ IGN4 Netcar Div Champion | IGNGP2 Pacific GP Winner ======================================== IGN5 -- Black Cat Pontiac Firebird #77 F1SA -- Miskatonic/Cthulhu #77 IGNGP2 -- Blind Faith/Phantom XVI #33 ======================================== Senselessly killed by the state of Michigan ============== 11 June 97 ==============

Jean-Francois, I believe this was done intentionally to force N2 to be more like the real NASCAR in which you must qualify with a full tank. I agree that it seems like a nuisance, but if everyone races with a full tank, I guess it evens things out. -- Regards, Michael Bell IVGA Member #2935

Basically, you can't. :( I know the manuel states otherwise, but you either get a full tank or how ever much is considered neccesary to get you to the end. I personally don't mind this, although others feel that handling their own fuel situation should be up to the player. With any 'conflict' like this, I just say, "stick an option in for it then.." :)) Jon Guildford, UK http://www.meganet.co.uk/~pegasus/nascar2/

Ok, excuse me, my manual "stops" at page 96. :) A page where I find your name <g> and lots of other Sim-racers I respect. :) Also, the fuel (F3) menu is explained on P.23. I know the UK manual is smaller, but I didn't know/think that the content would be different. Thanks for helping out there.... :) Jon Guildford, UK http://www.meganet.co.uk/~pegasus/nascar2/

Michael is correct. Nascar Rules say that you have to Qualify with a full tank of gas. The program follows the Nascar rules by only allowing you to change it when the rules allow, which would be a practice session so you may see how the car is going to handle 20 laps into a session with a lighter tank. During the race, your crewchief decides how much gas is needed on the pitstop to finish the race. If your close to the end, he may only put a couple gallons in. Hope this helps
