But what about Indy, I mean, Papyrus released it for ICR so
why can't they for Nascar.

Our rights to IMS were only for the original IndyCar Racing.

Well, in the current game, not all races are identified by name anyway;
i.e., for Atlanta you see the logo for the Purolator 500, but at Watkins
Glen, you see just the track logo and not the nefarious "Bud at the
Glen."
<<<

There are other reasons that we don't call it "Bud at the Glen." One of
which is that we would be unable to sell NASCAR in California if we did so
(California doesn't allow the sale of any entertainment item to minors if
it promotes *** or tobacco).

How about just making a Track generator, then everyone could make their
own track, and maybe someone could come up with the ones that are
missing.

Hey Rick.  I've been meaning to ask how come the AI is so funky at the Glen.
The cars' line through the innerloops is really squared off instead of flat
and smooth.  Any chance of a patch-fix for that?  A good line gets you
pounded up throgh there.

I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to repost this
announcement or E-mail me a copy of it.  Also, when do they expect this
Add-on to be out.

Thanks for any info,
        Andrew

I'll pass this on to the AI guys. Thanks for the suggestion.

BTW, I changed the subject line so that people don't think we announced a
SuperTrucks add-on. We didn't; somebody started this thread with that
title to catch everyone's attention.

Now THAT would be interesting... The car sets "took care of themselves", and
gave us the chance to make our own car sets and keep them up to date.  It's
nice knowing that when 1996 rolls around, there are those talented enough to
produce car sets with the latests drivers/schemes.  No problems with ***
and tobacco stuff!!

A Track Generator would allow us pretty much the same.  Sure, someone would
come up with Daytona and Indy tracks (or something close) but think of all
those new tracks we could come up with?  I would love to design a few
racetracks and try my hand there.  Maybe a 1/3 mile oval, maybe a road course
(now THAT could be fun! I could setup something like Hockenheim or Brazil F1
courses!)

I hope Papyrus is listening!
