ICR2 pit refuel bug...

Of course, I meant to say the "<" and ">" keys, as mentioned in the manual. -Brad -- * . . . . . .,___/--/|) **** [link lost in import: /**] *./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ \_/ ()|/\\ *** people/traweek/traweek.html * * \ \ \ \ \ \_/`~---'\_/ *********************************
I apologize in advance, as I'm sure this has been mentioned before - I just picked up ICR II, and I notice that the "<" and ">" keys don't work when you press F3 to get your fuel information - the 'refuel' number stays fixed at 40. Translation - I'd be very interested in hearing how exactly you're supposed to tell the pit crew to put in less than 40 gallons of fuel, since the arrow keys don't seem to be up to the task.

Hi Brad, Maybe you've already figured out that this is not a bug. Example: you started with 40 gal fuel, ran 50 laps, and now you have 10 gal but you only have 30 more laps so you don't won't a 40 gal pit since 20 more gal will be plenty. Hit pause, hit F3, and use your > key to read "fill to 20 gal". When you pit your crew will give you 10 more gal (20 gal total). Does this make sense? In other words, if you have 4 gal then you can change it all the way up to 40 gal. If you already have 40 gal then you can't change it to anything until your fuel gradually becomes less. The key is "fill *TO* " based on what you presently have in your tank. Hope this helps. Later... Sandman --------------------------------------------------------------- Erik Sanders

I could've sworn that I only had 23 gallons in the car at the time I was experiencing this, but I suppose there is a chance that I had 40, which of course would explain it. You're right, I now remember this behavior from NASCAR... -Brad -- * . . . . . .,___/--/|) **** http://www.cs.arizona.edu/ ** *./ ./ ./ ./ ./ ./ \_/ ()|/\\ *** people/traweek/traweek.html * * \ \ \ \ \ \_/`~---'\_/ *********************************

They do work, but remember the crew cannot siphon gas out of the tank. Depending what you set the car up for in the garage, you have to wait til you've burned the fuel. When racing and about to pit for a splash and go, I hit f3 and then lower the fuel to just the ammount I want.(hopefully enough to get to the end...)
