Yellow flags in CART

5 posts by 5 people · 31 Dec 1997 - 31 Dec 1997

Hi, Why don't i see yellow flags in CART ?? People are spinning left right and centre and then stay standing up against the wall and WHAM i slam them coming round the corner. Is this something to do with the crash damage option ?? Cheers Christo
This is one of the realistic "features" the MSCART development team decided to leave out. They also decided to leave out any decent AI, frame rate, or control, as well. Oh well, it still does "Push the Limits of Racing Reality". Where it pushed them I'm not sure. Must have fallen off the CD :) Don Chapman On Wed, 31 Dec 1997 13:47:20 +0200, Christo van Schalkwyk

Lack of yellows is disappointing, but the patch will address the AI, the frame rate (my is fine as-is), and add to the control options (null zone). Jim Getzen Unofficial CART Precision Racing HQ http://members.home.net/getzen/

Actually the feel of the car going around the track is quite good. You guys are having a field day busting on CPR but I am having a ball on the ovals. Sure you can lap the field in Michigan twice within 25 laps with the AI set to intermediate (with the stock setup). But for me it is *FUN*. Frankly I as surprised as anyone to even be able to say that. But it's the truth. Since I generally don't have 3-4 hours for a full race anyway, I just do 15% races and start in the rear. Quite fun driving through the traffic. I have noticed that the AI will give way in the corners. So they are lame at certain driving and good at others. If the patch fixes it I'll be happy. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. >This is one of the realistic "features" the MSCART development team >decided to leave out.

The patch does fix the AI. The difference is night and day. >So they are lame at certain driving and good at others. If the patch >fixes it I'll be happy. >-- >Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.
