I've got my copy of N3, and after the first moments of enjoyment, i've
realized that it's the same old N2 stuff.

I currently play also with GPL, and cannot compare them at all! GPL is far
superior to this arcade game!

What a shame having not the same physics in N3!
I'm thinking now to resell this garbage to ather people...

Geez Stefano, it has only been mentioned in, ohhh, I don't know, at least
300 posts that Nascar 3 would not be based on the GPL engine.  With all but
the highest end of today's computers, the N3 running with GPL physics with a
field of 43 cars would be just about unplayable.

You know, this is getting a little ridiculous. You should already know
that the GPL physics are not included in the package, and to make
comparisons on a serious level is absurd. They're two totally different
games, and they're just that - GAMES. Get over it. What were you
expecting in N3, anyway? I think it's a fine addition and very worthy.
Your opinion is noticed but not appreciated...

My question is this.... why would you want a NASCAR to handle like a '47
Ferrari? Do they in real life? It's a different game, so I wish people would
just stop ***ing about it.

Homer, in Italy, is looking to buy the game.  Maybe you can strike a deal
with him.  Subject of his post is "Want to buy N3" and was posted 09/28/1999
at 4:42AM.

Tony,

I love N3!!

That (mine) was a provocation just to stimulate someone to express his
feelings about the lack of GPL physics, now that the sim has come out (we
still know the previous reactions, some months ago when that was announced).
(I thought  that choosing a subject like "what do you think about N3?" and
the like, nobody had answered to my specific question)

Actually I've not seen such kind of opinions in the past few days (maybe
I've not noticed them...).

However I think that (now that I have N3 in my hands) I don't miss GPL
physics at all!
Even if I was a little bit hesitant before buying it, now I believe that
it's a completely different sim, and, "to call a spade a spade" I'm
convinced that the GPL physics in N3 would have been undoubtedly out of
place!

Bob

People do need to stop ***ing about not having the GPL physics engine in N3,
yes.  BUT having the GPL Physics Engine in N3 would NOT make the cars handle
like GPL cars!  That's the common misconception!  The physics engine is merely
the six degrees of freedom.  ICR1, ICR2, N1, N2, N99, and N3 all use basically
the same exact game engine, but they don't all handle the same.  You see?  If
N3 had been done with the GPL physics engine, Papyrus would have modeled the
cars to be realistic in size, weight, downforce, etc., thus making it handle
not like a GP car, but like a stock car.

I wish everyone would stop this "GPL is better than N3", "why didn't
N3 come with GPL physics?"  BS, it's getting real old and your
starting to make me hate GPL. ;-)

But GPL _is_ better! (I've never tried N3... ;-)        still another ;-)

I suppose that Nascar3 can be called arcade only by this newsgroups's
standards. That does make the 'arcade'-statement a bit moot.
