NT Sim?

Does anyone out there know of any simulators that:
a) runs on win NT (better if it runs on win NT and win 98)
b) is playable over a LAN
c) best if a F1 or a CART sim

Thanks!

GPL's next patch may support NT.  No confirmation on availability .  Maybe
others can inform you, and me.

I think Cart Precision works on NT.  Considering its made by Microsoft it
should.

I don't think you are going to have much luck because most rely on
Dirext X which, as far as I know, don't work on NT. I have seen some
games running on Windows 2000 BETA and Direct X 7.0 though.....

When the 1.1 patch for GPL is released, GPL will run on Win95, Win98,
and WinNT (we've run it on NT5 Beta 2, and I believe we've also run it
on NT4 w/SP3).  The only feature of GPL that does not work on NT (that
we're aware of at the moment) is Papyrus' "Generic" joystick driver
(you must use DirectInput).

Not necessarily. Depends on what DirectX version it was built with.  If it
was DX3, then it might with SP3 for NT4.  If not, then perhaps the ntdx5
hack might work....but no guarentees.
