I hope that when NR99 comes out this month, and NASCAR 2000/N3 comes out
whenever, we get as many posts here about those games as there have been abour
GPL in the last week.

If there are as many posts about the N2 games coming out as there have been
with GPL, I will be a wizard on the NASCAR games.

Does anybody else get tired of wading through the GPL posts to find the

Sorry, just a bit cranky today...

Is it possible to maybe split up the newsgroups............One for
stock car sims and one for open wheel sims?

Just an idea (that has probably been offered up a few other times I'm
guessing)

For NR99, I don't think people will get that stirred up since it's just
N2 with a few changes.  Sure, there will be a good number of posts, but
I'm willing to bet that there will be as many (if not more) complaints
about what NR99 is NOT, as there are praising the little changes that
were made (CTS fans notwithstanding).

Not really.  I'm firmly convinced that open-wheel racing is NOT fun (to
watch or in which to participate), but I got GPL to see if my system
would be able to handle N2000.  Not only will my system handle N2000, but
I've accepted GPL as just plain FUN to drive.  N2 has been reduced to the
status of being a nice app for it's day, but GPL has raised the bar for
all racing sim manufacturers (even for Papyrus), and I won't buy another
sim that isn't at least as good as GPL.

I would highly recommend to anyone that has not bought GPL to do so,
especially if they plan on getting N2000 when it's released.  You'll be
that much further ahead if you do because you'll be used to the physics
model by then, and you'll be able to assess your hardware upgrade
requirements in time.

A P2/300 or better, combined with a Voodoo2 card (unless they include
support for D3D in N2000) is recommended for high frame rates with a lot
of detail.  Sierra was way off the mark with their minimum system
requiremenmts as printed on the GPL box.

So who wants to wade thru the "what a screwed up idea" posts that usually
accompany such an attempt?  It takes 2 to 4 months to get a new newsgroup
approved.  By the time you succeed, GPL will be nothing but a memory to
most of the folks here.

Just takes a watch filter set to "subject: Nascar*" and a kill filter
set to "subject: *"

With higher priority on watch filter than kill filter.

And trust me, wait'll you see the flood that will be here when NCR1999
and NCR2000 come out. I remember when NCR2 came out and we about drove
the Indy people crazy <G>. Upwards of 200 messages a day just on NCR2.

BTW: Last I heard 1999 has been pushed to mid november and 2000 pushed
to april :(

Now I know I'll need a new system for NCR2000, mine will be 2 years
old by then <sigh>

I for one am totally pleased to see NASCAR relegated to the "minority"
status in the newsgroup :).  GO GPL!  Bring on CART!

I'll be willing to bet that there will not be 1/10 th of the posts total about
NR99 as there have been about GPL just since it has been released.

Now when N2000/N3 comes out...that might be a different story.

The majority of the bigger N2 and N99 fans participate in TEN's
newsgroup vs. RAS (In regards to N2 - N99 - N2000 issues).

Yes, I did...but you used the sentence in the present tense, not the
past tense, leading me to believe you still maintain this belief.
