GP3: Weird pit lane bug

I started my first wet race in GP3 last night - was quite enjoying it too until this weird bug started. Every time I passed the pits the speed lane limiter came on temporarily bring the car to a bit of a halt and usually spinningme - also all the AI cars started to piut. Anyone else getting this one? -- Richard G. Clegg Only the mind is waving Networks and Non-Linear Dynamics Group Dept. of Mathematics, Uni. of York UPDATED WWW: http://manor.york.ac.uk/

It's not a bug (for about the 100th time) look in the bottom right of the cockpit, you'll see 4 green lights around a red x, when those green lights are on, you're being called into the pits for whatever reason, be it low fuel, need to change to rain tires, need to change to slicks, etc. when the red x is lit up, your teammate is pitting. Just press enter to change whether you want to pit or not.

What tyres did you start off with, if you started on dry then it rained it would call you in regardless off your strategy options. "Richard G Clegg" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8m6bet$5cs$[email hidden]...

Started off on wet tyres in the wet. Maybe it's calling me in for intermediates or somesuch but it would be nice to be informed of this. It certainly is not realisitic to have it jam on the pit lane speed limiter mid track. If it's not a bug it's a damn stupid feature. -- Richard G.

Does GP3 have a race pit strategy similar to F1 2000? I still think that would explain this. -- [email hidden] "Richard S Beckett" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8m6g3b$[email hidden]... x-no-archive: yes Sorry dude, but it happened to me... The pit light came on, I tried to drive past the pits and the limiter came on. Next time the pit light came on, I turned it off by pressing Enter. Drove past the pits just fine. NO BUG! Maybe you need to upgrade you eyes to version 3.0? =;-D R.

Also even if it's not a bug it's a stupid feature - you didn't see David Coulthard spinning off because his pit lane limiter came on last race when he zoomed past the pits.

Well I'd call it a bug. If the program tries to slow you up when you are still out on the track, believing that you are or should be in the pits, then that to me is one major bug.
