Nascar Legends double file restart bug at Bristol

After a wreck, when enough cars have been lapped to even the two lines, the green flag produces a wreck and another yellow most of the time. In a single race I can set the options for single file restart, which at a track like Bristol is not so bad, but in a championship season I want double file restarts at places like Alabama and Atlanta. Question: Using a hex editor on the season file, can anyone give me any pointers as to the location of the restarts so that I can change the race options to double and single file as the track merits? Better yet, any AI fixes out there for the problem?

Single file restarts takes care of the problem. I sent a memo to Papyrus about it and there's trying to fix it. Be patient! ;) Philster

Just don't hold your breath considering we never did get a patch for anything in N99..... Philster <[email hidden]> wrote:
