Is there any way to disable or turn off the wheel spin feature in N2 \ n99? Its a pain and I don't like it but can't seem to keep is from occurring in the pits or on the track. Help. Thanks.

Be gentle with the throttle. Works wonders :-) Less than 70% throttle should keep wheelspin to a min. If you're having trouble with N2/1999 wheelspin, don't try GPL - you'll be in for a hell of a shock/spin/crash/flip/fire/replay. Jason

To the best of my knowledge, there's no option box where you can turn on/off the wheel spin. Are you using button or pedal for acceleration? If you are using button, double-tapping will cause wheel spin to occur. If you're using pedal, don't try to floor it. Just gradually step on the gas.

Actually, it's not true! The wheelspin in N2 is a silly feature to enable you to get out of the tigh pit you're in. There is no way to control this wheel spin, but you CAN control the wheels in GPL... ;^) l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm> |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!
For reference, from the Nascar 2 manual: If you use a joystick button for throttle control, here's something you should know: Clicking the throttle button once and holding produces no wheelspin; double-clicking and holding the throttle button creates wheelspin. For pedal users, wheelspin occurs at about 70% of full throttle. Zog

But it truly is expected to be used only for getting out of a tight pit (can't remember the exact words), but it IS easier getting out of a pit stall in N2 than N1. "Gunner"

The car behaves quite predicatably IMO, and is relatively easy to put where you want it. Correct, or for getting turned around more safely after an "incident". Unfortunately, it has the side-effect of (slightly) increasing your acceleration in a standing start. Whether that's realistic is somewhat open to debate, but I can tell you IT DOES in N2... ---Jim

You're right, I didn't write, what I meant to say (again!)... It's canned, so you CAN prevent the wheels spinning, but after driving GPL it's the one thing I can't stand anymore... l8er ronny -- Your mouse has moved.
