N2: Passing under yellow

Exactly what is passing under yellow? I got blacked flagged for it when I passed no one. I did pit and when the green flag dropped it said I passed under the yellow and had to go in for a pit stop. Then the yellow came out again and I tried to do my stop and go, but they changed all four tires and filled me up. BTW, this was at Rockingham. Also at Rockingham I let a few drivers pass by me on the low side (I was qualfied on the outside) and then the grenn flag dropped. After some laps I checked to see if any one of the AI cars pitted and not one had. Do the AI cars not get black flagged?

In addition to that, at Rockingham, I was just about to cross the start finish line when a yellow flag came out and the spotter said to race back to the line. Now I pass the line and no waving flag. So I go around again, and no waving flag. The THIRD time I cross the s/f line after the yellow flag came out, I finally go the flag waved at me.

The AI cars do not get black flagged; In regards to trying to satisfy your stop and go penalty under a yellow flag, that's a no-no, even in real racing. The penalty may only be served under a green flag. Also, the black flag may have been caused if you passed someone prior to pitting. You can't pass other cars illegally when the yellow first comes out, even if you're going to pit and eventually come out behind them.

My crew cheif said to come in for my stop and go. So I came in. Should he have told me to wait until the next green flag flew? Nope, didn't do that. I still cannot figure out why I was black flagged. I remember seeing the AI cars do this regularly in N1. I haven't noticed if they do this in N2, yet. --- () http://www.pacifier.com/~dtuso () Dominic Tuso () http://www.nicad.com/ () For you NiCd needs () http://www.teleport.com/~cramark () R/C car racing club () http://www.teleport.com/~lzwz/rcsr.htlml () R/C car racing club

On some of the smaller tracks, you can accelerate heading into the pits at a speed that would match the on track cars under yellow. Because your traveling in a straighter line to the pits, you "MAY" have passed a car on the track before you reached the pit entrance. Just a guess tho, I'm so green on N2 I haven't run a race long enough to require pitting. Dave Henrie

GET replays and send them to Papyrus. It is easy for us to question things here on the net, but for them to run down the problems, it will be much easier if we start getting replays of bugs saved. Let them SEE what is happening. Thanks Dave Henrie
