N2 Bug Workaround?

Hi All... I'm sure we've all had the yellow flag AI bug bite us in N2 at one time or another. You know, the one where there's cars tooling along at about 10-15 MPH LESS than the pace speed. Well, I may have figured out a very non-professional "work-around". Unprofessional as it may be, in a case where you've got a good race going, and then have the infamous AI/Yellow Flag bug rear it's ugly head... well, if it works it works, right? Anyway, I got bit by the AI/Yellow Flag bug, and in frustration, I eased up to the bumper of the slow car in front of me... and started to push him. Lo and behold... he took off! Yep... he took off and caught up with the next "slow batch". At this point, I dipped to the inside... and passed the entire string of "stragglers". At that... they all "woke up"... and away they went! Soon, they had caught up with the correctly pacing field and fell in behind. Estatic, I did likewise! I don't know if this will work everytime (bug hasn't bit since)... but it did then! (Of course, you do realize you WILL have to be back in your order BEFORE the green falls, right?) Anyway... what do you think? Give it a try and see what happens. Let the rest of us know if it works in your situation as well. Again, not very "realistic"... but it may give us a "work-around" to save a race order that was going well. God Bless, Andre

>Hehe, will this work on the freeway? I wouldn't suggest trying it in the Burger King drive thru if the Imtimadtor is there getting a whopper.

No, I tried it once... The cop was NOT amused.
