Whatever it is, it ain't console.

"John DiFool"> Yeah-I want to see these puppies fly apart on impact!
I wouldn't be suprised if that kind of damage has been limited by Nascar.
Way back in ICR1, Papyrus had all sorts of body parts, wings, tires bouncing
and flying off in collisions. But with the death/injuries of several fans
from flying tires, I just don't think Nascar would be too willing to have
that part of racing exposed.

The Fall/Winter sessons will include (because of the lull in lawnmower
season) couch potato championships, cable T.V. channel switching
challenges (for all you twitch finger channel changers)
They also plan an add on pack with grass variations and riding mower
mods, such as: body kits, coffee can (fart) mufflers, performance
inhancement graphics and enhanced 3D grass A.I. and for the first time
fire !!
Yes indeed Sierra/Papy has finally topped itself...but if I can't flip
the mower I ain't buying it,, do you hear that Sierra ?

This "you can't show damage" thing has always irritated me... It's come up
in other racing sims before.
