I got problems running Nascar 2 with Voodoo 2: I get a flickering screen.
Parts of the screen are only updated when I move the mouse over them. Didn't
have any problems with my old 3Dfx V1 card. Reinstalling the game didn't
help eiher. HELP!

I *think* that there will be "official" 3dfx support in the upcoming NASCAR
Racing 99, along with the Supertrucks, some more tracks, and double-file
restarts - hopefully some work done to the AI as well.
This is probably why they haven't done anything other than the 3dfx beta
patch we're using now, they're putting the "final" 3dfx version into the '99
package. Also, this is supposed to be Win 95 native, instead of DOS based
as N2 is now, which would suggest a fairly substantial re-working of the
code. Maybe 3dfx support is easier to do in Win 95 - I know with Longbow 1
they added 3dfx support to the Win 95 "Gold" version, but did not to the
original DOS version, much like Sierra and N2. I do hope it doesn't***
up the controller configuration, but it doesn't seem to be a problem in the
GPL demo from a while back, and they've undoubtedly tweaked that since.
But I'm not 100% sure on any of this, as there is little "hard" info
available on this package from Sierra, but this is what I've gleaned on the
newsgroup.
So you *should* be able to run the beta patch on a V2 now, but I'd guess we
might get better support in the future with the '99 package, so that might
be the solution. Of course as spoiled as F1RS got me, I don't get into N2
as much as I did, and I feel GPL will probably ruin me on both sims <g>

nascar99, will be awesome
and glide
Wrong - Nascar Racing 99 is N2 with new tracks, modified tracks,
Craftsman Trucks, small improvements in the *existing* N2 physics engine,
and other improvements in the sim.
Nascar 2000 (not the same as Nascar Racing 99) has the GPL physics engine
in it.
It won't be "awsome", but it'll hold us over until Nascar 2000 is
available sometime next year.
Wrong again. It's a DOS app (still) with a (hopefully improved) 3dfx-
specific version on the CD.
