I've been playing Nascar(1) and N2 since their release dates and have NEVER seen a RED FLAG. Has anyone ever seen one? I know they have the animated gif for a red flag. If you have seen a RED flag come out please tell me how I can duplicate it. I've tried massive crashes by going in the opposite direction and taking out about 15 cars, but the games just keeps on going...

Other options like the framerate didn't either. It's still there in the layout.dat file (same thing as the pitcrew sounds in Gp2), but have no effect in the simulator. I think you will have to wait until Nascar3 for red flags. It's only about 8months away ;-) Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s.

I don't think Nas 1 or 2 has any red flags. I've only seen the yellow or black, when racing.

Driving hint - stop wrecking, and stop speeding in the pits, and you'll eventually see green, white, and checkered flags too. :-) -- ========================================================= John Simmons (Redneck techno-Biker) - Zerex12 http://www.members.home.net/jms1/index.html If you want to send me email, go to the URL shown above and click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================
The "RED FLAG" feature was (thank god) never implemented into N2. Can't even think of a reason why you would want it in the game. Ron

True Ron, I don't want it in the game, I was just curious if anyone had ever seen one wave because I've scanned the nascar2 directories for files and saw all the GIF files there so I put them in my GIF construction set and guess what? There's a waving red, yellow, black, white, green, and checkered flags , but I'm sure most people knew this. HA HA I love it!! Good point, guess I need to stop going in the opposite direction :-) >The "RED FLAG" feature was (thank god) never implemented into N2.

As an interesting point, I usually rate how interesting a sim is by measuring the time before I start driving in the wrong direction and wrecking things cause I'm bored. Incidentally, I don't ever remember doing it in N2 =) - "If the meaning of life was printed in a book, someone would use it to keep the window open."

I was in a league that would have two "fun" events where you would a) set damage, pace, and cautions off b) move the AI to it's max setting (120%?) c) Qualify with a provisional When the race starts, immediately start driving backwards. The goal was to force all of the AI cars out of the race by wrecking them. Then, you start driving the right direction and when you cross the finish line on the lead lap in first place, you stop the sim and submit the time it took you to do that. The guy with the least amount of time won. Kinda breaks up the tension that a season tends to build up in everyone. -- ========================================================= John Simmons (Redneck techno-Biker) - Zerex12 http://www.members.home.net/jms1/index.html If you want to send me email, go to the URL shown above and click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

Haha, yeah I do the same thing when I'm bored. Come on now you must have gotten bored with N2 before. I love N2, but there are times when I'm just tired of it. So maybe I wasn't bored, but saturated with N2 after 500 laps at Bristol... I tell you what, thank god for the pause and save game features!! I don't know if I could do 500 laps straight at Bristol without a pause. This is fun... I thought I was the only "demented" NASCAR simmer out there...
Interesting. How long does it take? Or maybe not, since you have to spend your weekend testing a setup that allows you to drive the right-hand turns. - "If the meaning of life was printed in a book, someone would use it to keep the window open."
