Hi, I can't say that I have an explaination (well, I do, but I sure don't want to ruffle the feathers that be!) but this is a known BUG. It was terrible before the patch, and it's, what, 'semi-terrible' after the patch. Makes full races with yellow flags impossible in ICR2 (and yes, it still exists in the 3d rendition version)... I'll leave the heavy hitting questions aimed at Papyrus to someone who has a fire suit.. Mine is still being dry cleaned. Maybe this is on TSP fix list? Marc? -Rob

Uh huh, sure... I'll start by turning the damn yellows OFF ;) You know, I really do have to wonder why/how this never got fixed.. Did anyone ever get an answer from Papyrus regarding *why*? I don't mean since they lost the license/passion for CART, I mean before that.. When they still 'supported' ICR2.. Maybe one of the fellas will chime in here and give us a good reason.. It is frustrating (esp. now that there is so much great 3rd party work going on with the game) to know that it's basically not worth playing in realistic mode (with yellows, I mean).. Speaking of 3rd party... Anyone who's reading this post, knock it off and head to The Pits and get their BTCC patch for N2.. WOW! You won't regret it.. Buy that new hard drive if you have to.. I bet Noonan's sales are gonna head through the roof! ( Lurking mode on.. ) -Rob

Yeah, that's why I say it's 'semi-terrible' after the 1.2 patch. It seems to happen a whole lot at Cleveland.. Mostly after you and the A/I pit under yellow, and then head back out to get in line.. But I've seen it other times, as well :( And Clev. isn't the only infected track, unfortunatly. I keep yellows off more times than not these days.. Too bad, but what else can we do? Take care, -Rob

really?of course without the 1.2 patch this happens all the time but I have run a good number of races of 50% or more and I have never run into this in 1.2 although, I probably have yellows off more often so Im not sure I would really know
