Has anyone ever figured out a way to manually open and close pit road during cautions?

This has been an issue for a long time, and it may have been discussed here before, but I haven't been able to find a solution. I've also been seeing some interesting updates for the game lately, so I figured I'd bring this up again.

On short tracks like Bristol and Martinsville, especially after a big wreck, the AI tends to pit too early during cautions, sometimes even before the leaders do. Some cars end up passing the pace car on their way to pit road and get black-flagged as a result.

I was wondering if there's a way to make pit road stay closed until the entire field has passed the pace car at least twice under caution and is properly lined up behind it before the pits open. Perhaps manually, using a program like Better Caution or a chat command?

Alternatively, is there any way to work around this issue through the track.ini or other .ini files?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

We have never been so back. At the beginning of the year i thought this game was going to die, and now I don't think I've ever been so excited to play it since the first day i got it.... The NR story is one to remember forever

Hello, I’d like to leave a review about the Superspeedway mod.

I liked the mod, I’m really looking forward to it, and I’d like to express my personal appreciation for the work. But I’d like to write a bit about what I think about when I see the beta version of this mod.

Please tell me, whether there will be (and if you can share with me the schemes that can be seen in this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Nr2003/comments/1jhjwe3/superspeedway_mod_reshaping_progress/

The thing is, I could make good headlights for the main templates. I know the author shared a link to the templates themselves. But I need exactly the patterns I mentioned for my work.
If, for example, there are any difficulties with my request, then I don’t need the entire all carlist.

Four brands are enough. The main thing is that the paintscheme should be - light color (White, Yellow, etc) Not black or dark.

Sorry, my bad english.

With all of the new mods coming out here of late its pretty cool seeing this game get a new breath of life. I have a suggestion to any of you mod makers that read this, and that is if there is any possible way to expand the max make limit for mods from 4 to 5+. This is something I've always been fascinated to see one day for years like 2003 where there are 2002 body styles and 2003 body styles on the track at the same time. On top of that I think it would also be cool to see manufacturers have strengths and weaknesses that are modifiable.

I’ve tried everything, renaming, DEP OFF, nothing, it says everything is connected but when EE goes to launch on PSF it blips and goes off. Works on my main install though

And here's the interview:

Krista Voda: For a 2nd straight weekend, a first time winner in Victory Lane, tonight, it's Kevin Conway! Kevin, did you think your starting position was going to make you an easy target for a crash?

Conway: No doubt. Starting at the back is something that always means trouble. You can try doing anything, and you can get involved in something not of your making, and it's always a pain. I still have no idea how I managed to go from 32nd to contending for the win tonight, but still, to fight a Cup champion like Yeley and beat him is like winning the lottery.

I'm bummed at the season he's having, and I hope he wins again this year, the man deserves it.

I want to thank Joe Nemechek for giving me a shot in this #97 Toyota and to be in the #87 in the Nationwide Series. I know people make fun of me for promoting a brand like ExtenZe, but I don't care. I'm a spokesman for the company, after all. Let's just hope I don't get swept up in the big one next week at Talladega.

I've had a great FPS improvement with the following:

Note: If you, like me, have exclusive mod folders instead of a single one install for every mod you use, you have to set the Cpu Affinity for each one of your EXEs.

https://bitsum.com/

That does this:

Using Process Lasso for CPU Affinity:

1. Download and install Process Lasso.
2. Open the program and launch your target application.
3. In Process Lasso's process list, right-click the target process.
4. Go to CPU Affinity > Sustain (or Always > Select CPU(s)).
5. Select the specific cores you want the program to use and click OK. Process Lasso will automatically re-apply the affinity every time the app runs.

Set to any CPU outside 0, preferably from #2 onwards.

To achieve it always apply the 4GB Patch:

https://ntcore.com/4gb-patch/

Set in NVIDIA or AMD Radeon Control Panel to relay on the GPU for graphics, to relief the CPU.

Also, I'm sharing my DXwrapper/DXVK files, that must placed in the same folder where your NR2003.exe file is:

Might it be helpful to everybody!

I’ve tried with 3 different EXE’s (MS, the pit crew 4GB, and the 16 Update version) and every time they put the game crashes. Want to know if anyone else is having performance issues? Thanks!

This simple program will patch any NR2003.exe, allowing the game to run properly without being installed!

It creates a patched copy of the chosen exe, and leaves the original unmodified.

The copy bypasses the following error message upon reaching the main menu that appears on unpatched exes, if the game is not installed...

"Installation appears to be incorrect. Please try re-installing NASCAR Racing 2003 Season"

It should work with basically all NR2003 exe versions

Because it is a simple jump instruction, it changes hardly any code and does not interfere with NR2003 functionality! No bugs!

Scroll through the pictures to see exactly how this program implements this patch. Enjoy!

This has taken up most of my day, and my night last night, but I finally got detachable tires in flips! I may add this to extremely hard hits that are not flips. Still some bugs that need working out, like when they get towed to pit road. But overall, very happy with this!
WreckMod still isn't done (AKA Spin Mod) . I probably won't post many more updates until its finished and time for release which may be soon!

There are a lot of good mods on this site but it is inaccessible on both firefox and chrome

Can be hidden features, unknown mechanics, small details, or whatever you think fits

First of all, let me say, thank you to every last person who has made a mod for this game. You guys all keep this game running and it’s incredible. I doubt people will run out of ideas, but I had an interesting one. What about a crowd noise mod? Where you can set it to say, for example, when Dale Junior or Chase Elliot takes the lead, the crowd goes nuts like they do in real life. Possibly some reactions to crashes and stuff as well. maybe even start Boeing when a driver they don’t like takes the lead. Just an interesting thought I had thought I would share it and maybe somebody can build up on it.

- edit : looking for tracks with choose cones painted on if anyone can point me

Tried googling this but no proper answers.

Using an LG ultragear ultrawide 49" and I can get it to cover the whole screen but there is black bars on the side both in the menu and driving, that for example I don't have in iRacing. This is a real playability issue, for obvious reasons.

I've tried installing the camhack app but it just lags forever when I open it. And I've tried literally every resolution in the config.

I suffer from a complete lack of self control and cannot cope
