add on track question

squantjack · 14 March 08, 00:34

last night i was running a 20 lap race at limerock in the fbmw's. so i set my fuel for 22 laps in the garage, about 9 laps in the guy on the radio says "you're low on fuel" and the warning light on the hud comes on. i say screw it, i'll see how far i can make it, and i make it to the end no problem. is this because of limerock being a add on track or does something else cause it? with the wtcc cars the fuel numbers seem to come out right though. it's no big deal just curious. thanks

Did you set the fuel in the car setup page? I do find that setting to be the real setting. I'll do a run at Limerock or maybe Road America which I like and is an addon and aaccording to your theory should be the same.

Ran a 10 lap at LR with a Rad sr4 and had no issues. That is the default lap count there so maybe changing it to 20 laps...however you did that...unearthed a bug tied to the 10 lap default. I'll try 20 later and report back if I can verify this or not. BTW LR is fun track that I hadn't run much except to test. It's got some distance redraw issues but I just ignore them. With Rads it's like a GoKart race it's so short and fast!! I ran the Rads at the RoadAmerica conversion for R07 and the grip is all screwed up compared to running that track in GTR2. I'll try a Rad with the sr3 mod available for GTR2 and see if it's better.
