Talk:Indianapolis 500: The Simulation

Untitled

I've deleted: For the PC version, driving input was solely via keyboard, meaning joysticks or driving wheels were not supported.

as this isn't true. I played indy 500 on the PC for years using a joystick. (RFT)

I just checked the PC game manual and you're totally right that it works with a joystick. The option just isn't listed in the game menu. Good catch. Guroadrunner 06:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

retirements

The player controled car can suffer from mechanical failure, although it would be erroneous to call the failure "random" so I wasn't sure how to add that to the article. Using too high a gear ratio in the Lola-Buick will cause the engine RPMs to run in the red, and as in real life too high of RPMs for a sustained amount of time will cause undo stress on an engine and thus engine failure. This is really just another testement to the simulation quality of this game, as the Buick Indy V6 was a more delicate engine than the Cosworth or the Chevrolet. --RandyBeegle (talk) 03:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
