A couple stupid N2 questions...

Hey, all... I just bought N2 yesterday, and I'm having a couple problems that I can't figure out, and the manual's no help, so... 1) How do you pit? I've got it to where my crew holds up the sign, so I drive to the sign, and...nothing. This is especially important since I'm only running 10% races right now, so the only time I pit is at the end. However, I can't pit, so I can't finish... 2) My "Race Weekend" option isn't coming up before I go to the races. Is this a problem with my game, or is there something I need to be doing?? As it is, it just goes straight to the race, with me running 40th... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Nate

I'm not quite sure if this is what you do but it works in N1. When you stop in your pits, apply your brakes one more time. Nick

Come to a complete stop in your pit stall, and step on the brake. However, you don't need to enter the pit in order to officially end the race; also, 10% races shouldn't really require a pit stop at all. I think arcade mode just bypasses all of the other sessions and starts you off at the back of the pack. Try changing this setting on the Race Weekend menu. -- God Bless, Steve (remove the <remove this> from my address when replying via e-mail)

As for pits, unless you have a software problem you just pull in and apply the brakes. Try moving around a little in the "box" and stop hopefully you will be able to find the "zone" If your race weekend sends to right into the race then you PROBABLY have the driving mode set to ARCADE. Change it to realistic. BTW driving mode is different than damage. They both however give the options of arcade, and realistic. In this context however they mean different things. mykey

By the way, I'd like to extend my thanks to all who helped me on these two questions, both on this group and through e-mail...your help was sorely needed and greatly appreciated! Nate

Hello Nate, I'm not sure about question 2 but for question one, are you applying the brakes to stop at the pits or are you using the reverse button to stop. If you don't use the brakes the pit crew will not come out. Worth a try. -- Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports (Memeber of the Nascar Offline Racing Series) Nascar Coruba & Coke Chevy Hamilton New Zealand
