Sorry, I don't have a fix.  Perhaps you should ask Tantrum...nicely?

So what makes you think that by openly flaming me here in this ng,
that I would give a rats-ass about whether it got sorted out?  I
guess answers are easy enough to come by, all you need to do is ask.
Not this mamby-pamby, horse-shit you throw at me.  What contributions
(if any) have you made to this ng besides mouthing-off?  Few come to
mind.

Who cares whether you buy the game or not?  You're aware the game is
screwed as is out of the box - so don't buy it.  Doesn't take a brain
surgeon to figure that one out - sheesh.

So boycott them - it's your dollars.

Flame on!

    This is what I like to hear! :))))) I just hope that, unlike CPR, that they get good
and satisfying patches out soon. But it's disturbing to see this type of thing happen and
makes one question the companies dedication to this particular product. Control/3dfx/load
time issues are a joke, but to me, even worse is the total exclusion of multiplayer. I
mean, the sim would be a blast for about an hour, or maybe for 1 season against the AI,
but can you imagine the boredom after that! I would imagine that a drag sim, no matter how
good, would get VERY OLD, VERY FAST without multiplayer.

I guess my whole point with asking this, is the burnout testers
*WOULD* have a fix.

I guess you are showing everyone that you don't care. Thanks.

Well excuse Mr. Simproject (whatever the hell that is).

Ok. Thanks for the tip.

I believe I will. Boy you sure are helpful when it comes to this
game. Thanks a bunch!!!!

Should the *testers* have a fix?  Do the qualifications of a tester
include coding experience, not to mention Tantrum's source code?

You're welcome.  Let us know when you actually purchase the product.

I don't think i could agree more.  While yes it _is_ our spending dollar
and we are free to do with it as we want, i don't think i know of any
better place than USENET to express a person's complete dissatisfaction
with a product, along with the associated bugs and reasons why a person is
flaming the thing in the first place.

Come on Tantrum.  This and Burnout are the only 2 drag racing sims out
there, unless you count Top Fuel Eliminator from _way_ back in the days of
the Commodore 64 (crappy graphics, overhead view only when racing, but the
gameplay was incredibly ***ive).  I already have Burnout, and due tot
he lack of actual _realistic_ beahaving fuel classes, was intently waiting
on this sim.

I've returned it for now to the store i purchased it at to see if any
patches will be released before i pick it up again.  That's just too damn
many bigs to deal with.

 I'll agree with the "***ive" on that! Does anybody know if there's a PC
version of that game? I know the arcade videogame guys have emulators and ROMs,
and was wondering if there were such a thing for the old Commodore games...
(Gunship was another ***ive title) :)
