No, thanks a lot, I've been able to continue the download (I didn't know IE4
would do that with HTTP download?????), anyway I have it and it looks
promising. It will be great to try that big Nurburgring.

Thanks again!

John,

Is the other video (i.e small version) any different apart from a smaller
d/l and/or resolution (size) ??

I thought the same thing about the sound. I guess Nascar's technology today
is equal to Grand Prix technology in 1967 :-)
I did like the view of the drivers hands moving in the***pit from the
overhead view.
I did see a post of a screen shot of the in***pit view. I truly hope that
they give the option to have the "traditional" up until now view of the dash
and front wheels only. The screen shot showed the drivers arms on the wheel
and the view seemed very far back. The car, the arms, and the dash blocked
allot of the view of the track from this far back position. I also don't
want to see these two cartoon stick arms moving on the wheel while my
cartoon stick arms are driving a real wheel :-)

Thanks
John


like N2, I hope this won't be the "final" sound in the sim.

Both are the same, just a different resolution (and hence size).
Bigger just looks nicer and more detail.

Cheers!

Okay, I'll put it into the public directory of my FTP site later
tonight. I'll post the IP address and directory later.

Cheers!

FYI, I saw it running in native Rendition mode on a V1000 equipped P200
and the framerate was VERY smooth.  Considering it was pre-alpha and
there is a lot of optimization to go, I wouldn't worry too much about
the framerate (especially if you have a good 3D card).
