N3 Wishlist

Here's a couple of items I wouldn't mind seeing put into N3.

1.      Cruise control for yellow flag laps.  I know, it's a little nitpicky
but, it would keep me from looking like a complete idiot when I bump Elliot's
ass five or six times during a lap and then falling back a hundred feet.  
Give me cruise control so I can down a couple of swigs of Diet Coke with my
free hand before all hell breaks loose at the green flag.

2.      If Jack Nicklaus can include a Course Designer then Sierra can include
a Track Builder.  I realize you can only build so many ovals before they all
look alike but, I wanna build a ten mile oval with forty degree banking in the
turns with room to go four wide.  Make Talladega look like a go-kart track.

Those are my wishes.  And seeing as how this game is slated for sometime
around Christmas I think Santa Clause should give it to us.

How about the autobrake just acutally working during pace laps?  It
would have to be smart, like only engaging when your within 10ft of te
car in front, cause you need to catch up if you are behind.

Speaking of autobrake, how about a text message along with the sound.  I
cannot distinguish between "on" and "off" in the voice.

That would be cool, would be neat to be able to play around with
different style tracks.  Great idea!

Another thing I would like to see, that is to me more important than
spectacular graphics, is a more realistic mirror.  Its SO important to
know where the guy is behind you, I am just completely disappointed by
both the ICR2 and N2 mirrors.  I dont run Rendition, so maybe its
better, but it would be nice to see more realism in the mirror.

That JN3 Course designer is awesome, and I agree tht a track designer
would be fun to play with. I'd love to see the setups and gearing used
on your fantasy track! With speeds on the stretches and NASCAR 3's
inclusion if physics tyo allow flips and rolls, you could see somwe
serious airborn action if you rubbed a little too hard!

I don't know how many times I've come out of the pit after a pit on the
yellow, go flying around the track to catch up to the field, only to find out
that the brakes don't work worth a damn.  I'll come roaring out of a turn and
see twelve cars magically appear right before my eyes and take out the last
three or four.  And I have a Thrustmaster wheel and brake set!

The brakes aren't magic. Use F2 alternate display to figure out how
far from the field you are. And if it's not about to go green, you
have no business going over maybe twice the pace speed because you
have *plenty* of time to catch the field. No one can pass you, so why
go roaring off a ten-tenths when five tenths would do?

Auto-braking won't fix this; it requires re-training the user to drive
the car reasonably safely. :-)
