How do you remove the restrictor plates in N3? Are they sealed and do I nead a drill? ;-)
In the track text file look for the line that starts SPDWY, this is followed by either a zero for non-restrictor, or 1 for restrictor (I think thats the way around). Change these values. The other two numbers on the line are the pit stop window for the AI. Steve >How do you remove the restrictor plates in N3? >Are they sealed and do I nead a drill? ;-)

Um, I'm pretty sure you don't need a drill ;) According to Jeff in this newsgroup, you only need to change the value from 1 to 0 on the line SPDWY in the file taladega.txt in the tracks/taladega folder. I have not tried it myself (I don't even know what a restrictor plate is :) ) Good luck! Ivan Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

yeah changing the restrictor plate helps, change from 1 to 0, I'm not too great at Nascar99, my best lap time was a 198 mph avg... now I got a 214 mph avg lap speed without the ristrictor plate... beat Elliot's 212 .. of course cars are slightly better in 1998-99 than 1987.. in Nascar 1, I got a few 221-222 mph avg lap speeds when I removed the restrictor plate.. In Nascar Legends, all the tracks have a 0, but Taladega has a 1... I tried to remove it just for the heck of it, and it slowd my car down 1 mph or so... weird!!! I changed it back... getting a qual lap of 201 something is about all I can get in NL .. not bad for a real car (todays cars are manufactured off road race cars, tubeular frames and such) thats 3800 lbs. later

yep, i did a 200 mph lap before and I'm into 216's now. It makes tally a lot fun as it becomes harder to keep the car on the groove. And it's not only the player that goes faster but the AI speeds up too! I had a topspeed of 226!
