'free (=user designed) tracks available' would be a good argument for
buying Papyrus simulators, right?

Do they really develope the tracks on a PC? I don't think so...

This would be quite helpful.

True for me too!!!

Agreed, look what some have done with the PaintKit program that comes
with NASCAR Racing. I personally don't have the time to paint a bunch
of cars to look like the real things, but somebody did!  And what
a wonderful job they did too!  Kudos...

I don't know if I completely agree with that... for example, I'd sure like
to run an IndyCar at, say, Texas Speedway, or Road Atlanta, or Watkins Glen.
Or Monaco ;-)

        First, I am not and idiot.  Second, my first post stated why I
wanted a creator/editor.  Third, playing DOOM makes me nauseous and it
sucks; Heretic is much better.  Lastly, I never suggested boycotting
Papyrus.  I just had it in my .sig file that I was leading the charge.

        I do have a Sega but I never play it any more, but I do not have
an Amiga.  And when I want to, I play "smash 'em up" without a figure 8.
 Ok Ralf, get out your Harbrace.

No? Who are you to judge? :-)

The statement/arguement was bogus... You want a track editor? I suggest ROAD &
TRACKS Grand Prix Unlimited. Of course the whole game completely sucked. But,
you have to put up with that if you want a track editor.

So what is this? The WEBSTERS definition of "hypocrisy"?

ie... "The practice of expressing feelings, beliefs, or virtues one does
not hold or possess: INCINCERITY."
