I should have added that Viper is another sim sitting on the shelf. This
would make a decent engine for N3 with some serious tweaking, second only to
GPL in some respects. In fact if Viper had some more RACING tracks and more
cars in a race it would be damn good. But until more info on specifically
what physics engine N3 and I suppose LoN are based on I will simply hope for
the best... but prepare for the worst. I have faith in papy but not sierra.
Bunch of friggin suits that think what looks good on paper is something to
follow blindly without thought.
