Last night I started a training session for a short race. When the phone rang, I activated the PAUSE option. As usual, in the upper right corner of the screen was a "live" picture of the racetrack, but hey: although time was standing still (I mean the counter on the bottom), the AI cars were still qualifying. I might not be a competitive driver (yet), but it ain't fair that these guys "ignore" my pause.

You most likely weren't watching a live feed, and were instead watching part of the buffered replay prior to the pause. - Eric

Hmmmm, I'll have to check that. This was very suspicious as the replay, if it was one, lasted very long (some 3 minutes) with 19 AI cars and 64MB RAM. Hope you're right :-) Eric T. Busch schrieb in Nachricht ...
Sounds like you hit escape, not the pause button. When I hit Pause, everything stops, it does not go to the menu screen. >Last night I started a training session for a short race.
