NasRev: Can't spin out?

4 posts by 3 people · 18 Mar 1999 - 22 Mar 1999

Subject line says it. I was so annoyed with the front-end push on the Nascar Revolution handling that I decided to intentionally fishtail or spinout at Richmond (without hitting a bump or bumping into another object first). No matter how hard I tried to whip the tail end around the damn thing kept planted - even with the front wheels down to 20psi and rear up to 60. Not having seen this mentioned yet, I was wondering if this was a common experience or not. Thanks, Neil M.

You can't do it. BTW, I don't know about you but I am pretty pissed about the kind of ***that EA put on the store shelves. Just one of many things wrong with this game.

Thanks for confirming that issue to both of you. I was thinking that the claim of being a "hard core sim" was starting to sound more than a wee bit "Novalogicky" Neil M.
Quoted text (15 lines)>Yes, it is common. Nascar Revolution is pure crap, both as a sim >(which it is advertised to be) and as an arcade racer.

Correct. Unless you hit something, you can't spin out in NasRev. It's those realistic physics, ya know. -Larry
