Rules for the Race

1) At the start of the race, after you hear the spotter yell "green, green, green" you can pass on the right and before you get to the S/F bricks. Reason: to give drivers as much straightaway as possible to get settled before Turn 1.

2) On a restart, single file and no passing till after your complete Turn 2. We tried that tonight and it seems to help (as in "fewer yellow flags").

3) Penalty flags will need to be served from now on unless its that goofy longest line penalty, then alert the zebra and it will be cleared. All other penalties will be in effect.

4) If there is a crash with one lap to go, the race will be a run to the checkered flag before the Safety Car picks up the field. If there is a crash with two laps to go, there will be laps added so the race does not finish under yellow and the Safety Car will pick up the field. You will always get a lap at the end of the race.

Guess I'm gonna have to reinstall rF or spend more time troubleshooting.

Hasn't "felt" right since I tried getting realfeel installed and probably tweaked a few files I shouldn't have. Even if I remove the realfeel dll the FFB is garbage. Just haven't been too motivated to fix it.

If anyone has any suggestions, here's what's going on...

Right now, without the RealFeel FFB plugin, if I sit in the indy car in the pits, there's some FFB resistance to turning the wheels. Once I'm rolling I get nothing but a tiny ratcheting feel to the wheel - no real resistance, and certainly no centering, even up past 220mph. It does not feel in any way similar to when the wheel is unpowered or when FFB is disabled.
