Nascar 2002 Yellow Flags

Is there any way to change the number of laps that are run under caution. It just seems to me that whenever there is a yellow flag situation the race could start a couple of laps before it does. At longer tracks like Talladega its painful to spend so many unnecessary laps under caution.

I've found that the sim exactly mimics real WC racing in that the first yellow lap gathers teh cars up, pit opens for lead lap cars, next lap pit opens for non-lead lap cars, cars are gathered up again, and the green falls on the next fill lap with all cars having pitted, this ends up being 3-4 laps just like the real boys. -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash J Black <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3d9b3056$0$1286$[email hidden]... > Is there any way to change the number of laps that are run under caution.

It would be great if it actually stuck to that schedule. Sometimes it does but many times it doesn't. I've found that the more serious the accident, the longer yellow flag laps there are. It apparently has to do with the cars that have to be towed back to the pits. The AI won't go green until all of the AI cars have been towed back. Once they are back, they will disappear and be out of the race and then the pace car lights will go out when teh pace car crosses the start/finish. What I would like to see fixed is a late caution when the restart is single file, the non lead lap cars should fall back to the end of the lead lap field, not hold their positions as they do now. -Tim "Biz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:tGGm9.66761$[email hidden]... > I've found that the sim exactly mimics real WC racing in that the firstyellow lap gathers teh cars > up, pit opens for lead lap cars, next lap pit opens for non-lead lap cars,cars are gathered up > again, and the green falls on the next fill lap with all cars havingpitted, this ends up being 3-4

That's just what I mean, in NR2002 the last ten laps the racers do line up single file but the lap cars do not go to the back of the line. -Tim "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:OF4n9.31928$PP.30627@rwcrnsc53...
