RE: Running for safety

True Wodin, AI drivers can be a bit suicidal when running. I think this was tweaked once and seems slightly better than in the past.

RE: Hitting the Auto Finish Button

<t> My problem with Auto Finish is simply this; it's easy to punk out and auto finish to prevent the loss of a driver, AND get paid for it. I have no problem with using it to prevent crawling around the track if you can finish the race by normal means anyway. But if you've spent many hours and races...

RE: Best ancient time battle wargame?

<r> I had the privilege of beta testing the Great Battles Collection and still play all three games. Did you know that you can download all three (and the editor) for a paltry $5.99, AND they run trouble free on Windows XP through Windows 8! They run perfectly on my Windows 7 64-bit setup. You don't...

RE: Qvadriga 1.20 What's New?

<r> I want to thank the devs for the latest patch which included great after-race results info...very nice! I think a few more small tweaks and the game's near perfect for my purposes.<br/> <br/> The Auto-Finish button, while absolutely necessary, still presents some game "ethics" problems for me an...

Sold Horses, Campaign Ended

<t> Playing with version 1.20, I had a pair of one-heart horse teams which I travelled to a new city with. At the new city there was a pair of two-heart horse teams which I wanted to buy but I also wanted to sell my pair of one-heart teams at the same time. I sold the pair of one-heart teams (and at...

RE: Undo button needed

This has happened to me many times. May I suggest different colors for the up\down arrow icons and sell icons? Maybe black arrows and green sell icons, or something similar.

RE: Is there an order for no change?

<t> Good point. If I have any kind of comfortable lead I go as fast as I can without whipping or getting into damage trouble in turns to spare my equipment for the next race. You only need to cross the finish line ahead of the second place driver by a small margin and creating a lot of useless space...

RE: Auto Finish: Where?

There are threads here discussing different resolution problems with text and boxes overlapping and stuff. I think I read that al...

RE: Auto Finish: Where?

It's in the upper right corner of your game screen next to the sound option button. A tooltip will open if you mouse over the icon with an arrow pointing to the left.

I can go along with your logic. It's not a big deal, just another very small thing that seems a tiny bit odd to me.

RE: Hitting the Auto Finish Button

<t> There's a big misunderstanding here. I'm only asking that players not get paid money for Auto Finishing a race, I'm not at all asking that the option be taken away, I use it too on occasion. But getting the same reward for ducking out of a race as if I had risked everything by continuing a lost ...

If the monetary reward was taken away after hitting the Auto Finish button, I'd be more than satisfied.

RE: Horse Trading

I'm not sure why it's necessary to pay money to fill out a horse team to four horses before selling a team with less than four. Would I really buy a fourth horse if I wanted to sell a team of three? No, no, and no. [:-]
