Teleporting cars in ICR2

Hi, I have seen replays of cars breaking into the centre of road courses, and pinging about, usually getting destroyed. But has anyone ever seen an AI car simply teleport from one part of the track to another?? I have a rpy from Mid Ohio, I spin an AI in T1, next thing I know there's a lot of AI braking up towards T2. Why? The dude I spun has just teleported up there. I thought this only happens on TEN. <g> Anyone have any examples of this or want mine made available?

I had. A replay of something similar at the Vancouver track. But this was no AI car this was me! I came up towards the stadium and grazed the left wall and then I got kinda teleported to the other side of the track. I spun right through the stadium and everything. Pretty weird huh? I used to have this replay but couldn't find it anymore. -- Bugs 'r us. kotta [at] mindless.com http://www.isk.kth.se/~id96_kko ICQ# 6963779

Simracers, >>But has anyone ever seen an AI car simply teleport from one part of >>the track to another?? Yes! Just a few days ago in practice I had a CC car making an incredible lap record at Vancouver: 21.XXX seconds! (sorry, don't remember exact value). On the replay it turned out that it came to a stop after T1. After waiting for about 5 seconds it warped back to the main straight and continued the race. (BTW this was ICR2/Mac which seems to share all bugs from the PC version 8^)) Herwig -- ECCE TERRAM GmbH Dr. Herwig Henseler Heinrichstrasse 18d Tel. 0441 / 500 12-0 26131 Oldenburg Fax. 0441 / 500 12-29

I too have seen this (more often than most, I suppose<g>)...I think I set the all-time lap-record at Australia with a :58.xxx...Warpped from the back-set of chicanes and through the pits. However, because I also blew all the tires, that pretty much ended that session. =) Cheers! Marc > Yes!

Once at Michigan I T-boned an invisible wall in the MIDDLE (just going into the dogleg) of the track. My car immediately "exploded" (probably sending my wrent body hurling through a hot dog stand just past the grandstands). I didn't get a replay of it, but my brother does have one of a similar incident (at Vancouver I think) In which he(and what was left of his car) ended up in Montana (or right next to it anyway <g>) -TJ-

At least this last incident is due to the infamous "Hand of God" (HOG) bug that was present in almost all Papy sims. All of a sudden, some force takes you and teleports you someplace. The last time this happened to me, I ended up between the barriers on the lawn that seperates the pits from the track... -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.

The last time this >happened to me, I ended up between the barriers on the lawn that >seperates the pits from the track... I guess so. I noticed in both ICR1 and Nascar1 that if you brush the last segment of the pitwall the car tends to shoot off spinning in great velocity. Some sort of impact calculation going bezerk i guess. Strange that the dudes at papayrus don't fix these bugs in between games. Same goes for the very annoying "car-melding" bug. I haven't yet seen a papyrus game with strictly solid cars that can't merge with one and other, mostly annoying IMO. Btw, is it just me or is it impossible to get any wheelspin (to spin around and make donuts) in ICR2? -- kotta [at] mindless.com http://www.isk.kth.se/~id96_kko ICQ# 6963779
