I use the adaptve speed control...i suppose veterans of this game shun this aid.

Did you stop in your pits for the first black flag? You usually get 3 laps to answer a BF. So if you went in right away for the first BF, you should have still had 3 laps for the 2nd. I suspect you didn't clear the penalty properly. dave henrie

Yep this is the REAL pisser about the Black flags, that f'ing spotter will keep telling you to come "in" but never reminds you as to was it stop, or drive thru... Can really make you mad, until you learn to listen to the spotter when he gives the instructions... Oh and by the way, you can clear them on Yellow either, sometimes that can mess you up on getting it done in time, I have heard. EldredP wrote:

Shhhh or you'll piss off the *PFB* (Papy Fan Boys). NR2003 is PERFECT and is ALL we EVER need. Say it again and again till youre indoctrinated sufficiently, then you can come back and spew our propaganda like a good little PFBjr ;) Mitch "Sting32" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:403a6ab8$[email hidden]... > Yep this is the REAL pisser about the Black flags, that f'ing spotter will > keep telling you to come "in" but never reminds you as to was it stop, or > drive thru...

Post patch, Stop and go, pit flag waves, drive through, pit flag *DOES NOT* wave. Sean

Oh my, I did NOT know this, That helps me by about 200%. as it seems I hear this all the time "I cant clear the BF" so now I can put this in our faq... Thanks McWhom McWhom wrote: > Post patch, Stop and go, pit flag waves, drive through, pit flag > *DOES NOT* wave. > > Sean

Every time I've heard of one(or gotten one), the spotter says you can't. I'll have to test various BF-inducing situations. As far as missing the initial instructions, all you usually hear is "Aw man - they've given us the black flag!"

The black flag will show on the gear/speed indicator that shows the current race conditions. If it's black then you have a black flag.

That will mark the end of an era on RAS. When Goy actually gets his beloved Aussie V8 sim and can no longer be taunted or cajoled into joining in a thread with a tenuous link.

ROFL....we'll always have Monty Python Tony, we could spice it up by throwing in some Black Adder and Jeeves and Wooster as well Baldrick, you wouldn't know a cunning plan of it wore a tutu, danced on a table and sang cunning plans are here again Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

It is more cunning than a cunning fox with a degree in Cunning from Oxford University... As an aside I played a rare game of Medal of Honour on the same internet server as my son the other day to show him how it is done (yeh right). My handle was Baldrick. My son was at the top of the leaderboard and I, well wasn't. As I got killed yet again someone commented "Baldrick you are as dumb as your Nick". I was suitably humbled... Cheers! Tony (Balders)
