N2 is really cool so get it asap. The worst things I've seen in the 10
hours of play are that the docs really suck when it comes to net playing.
There's only two (2) pages covering multi-play and they deal mainly with
modem play and not net play. :-( Me and 3 others played over Kali today at
the "WhereToRace" server and it was fun. The frame rate was really good and
the lag times were in the .18-.25 area. I had all the graphics on and it
still ran good. (P5-166)
The graphics are a whole lot better then the demo and all of us on Kali
agreed on that, and Bristol at nite is really cool.
BUG ALERT: In racing on Kali (NET) we could not get the chat working and
none of us found anything in the manual telling us how to. There's a small
" L " bracket that turns yellow under the chat box that we all assumed was
for chatting but it didn't work (or at least we got no echo) so the host
had no way of knowing when the others wanted to move on. It really needs to
be fixed. The other thing I noticed was the spotter keeps telling you
there's a car high (or low) even after you've passed it and it's but a
glimmer in the mirror. The funny part was when he got e***d as I came up
on an accident at 190mph, I thought he was gonna have a heart attack and I
laughed my ***off. (I missed'em all)
The frame rate is a lot better and I can now run it with everything on.
Overall I'm real happy with it but don't take too long in fixing the chat
ability, it's really needed or at least tell us how to chat in a race.
I haven't been into the paint kit yet but I will be soon.
Great game/sim guys. The flyer in the box says NRL will be exclusive to
the T.E.N. people and will start in early '97' so until then kali will do.
Oh yea, I ran it in Win95 so I would think dos will be even faster/better.
If your in Minnesota then you better get fast.
c u in the fast lane :-)
P.S. if you have gotten or know how to chat in net-play let us all know ok.
