Hi, this is a question for the Hawaii N1 racers... Why do I do better (faster laps) while connected, than I do by myself ? just wondering here. I had my first race online today, and by avoiding a turn one bender and a trioval blunder made by some others, managed a 6th out of 10 racers (qualified 8th, but intentionally backed up at race start, so as not to be said to be the cause, if there were any accidents) anyway, point is, It seems that I normally run 195's or so at Dega, but tonight I turned in some mid 196's. I was just wondering why by the way, I know that's not fast by the bestboy's standards, but keep in mind that I still use a joystick, and don't have that much time in on N1, anyway :) -- Sit down,,Strap in,,Shut up,,Hang on,,Go fast,,Turn left,,Kiss Trophy Girl GGGGGGgoooo #3,,,31,,,28,,,94,,,6,,,5,,,18,,,8,,, Handy^man
Snip You'll find the traction and car physics to be a little different under Hawaii multiplayer mode than in your regular Nascar 1 racing mode. You'll probably see slightly better speeds at most of the tracks. Best way to get a feel for it is to practice starting the sim with the "multi" command, or "multi -h" for svga graphics. This will put you on the tracks as they are in hawaii, but only in testing ( single player) mode. DonB.

Handy, Multi.exe is the program that your running on Hawaii. The physics are a little different from Nascar.exe (more like N2). The track temperature may also have been higher. Alot of guys like to run 120 degrees at Dega which produces better lap times in N1. If you want to practice with Multi offline you can run it just like nascar.exe (i.e. MULTI.EXE -H). The only bummer is that it only lets you test alone (no AI) unless you hook up to another computer and use the multiplayer option. Then it will add the AI.
