Hi all.. Is there any way to adjust the fuel usage in NH? I've looked all through the manual with no success. I know it's not realistic for you to be able to race 50 laps at Daytona without refueling. Thanks... Pops
Change the wear factor to 2X and see if that helps... --David Cook In article <hshu5.145$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] wrote...

Well within the mileage expected from a restrictor plate engine. -- Scott Moore The Sports Gaming Network http://www.sports-gaming.com "Where are we going, and why are we in a handbasket?"
The pit window for Daytona is near 60 laps in real WC On Sat, 09 Sep 2000 02:42:21 GMT, "Pops" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I run at 6X. It's a blast :) Though is it me or do the AI cars always seem to have 1-2 laps more fuel than you do? I ALWAYS run out before they ever pit! -Larry "David L.

I ALWAYS run out before they ever pit! It's a driving style thing.... Lift off the accelerator more and use the brake less.... Fuel is used anytime the gas pedal is depressed (even slightly), kinda like in the real thing. -- **************************** Michael E.

I do the same thing and yes, the other cars last longer than I do. Sounds like a bug that needs fixed. :) "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:wwXw5.11697$[email hidden]...
