After viewing the screen shots (Joystick/Wheel setup screen)I
am saddened to note that reverse gear is still a Keyboard or
Joystick selectable option rather than down shifting through
neutral.

And there is no clutch pedal in Nascar 3.

That just about shoots N3 in the foot for me. It would have
been so easy to add in.

Why would no clutch and the reverse gear thing 'shoot
N3 in the foot'? I guess I don't understand. I usually
look for far more in sims I race.

Clutch would be possible, but i have to say, one of the most annoyinf aspects
of papy games is to have to map an extra button on yoru wheel to reverse
rather than some other cool function shortcut.

A clutch, maybe, but in a standard 4-speed NASCAR transmission you can go
straight from any gear into reverse- how would making the *** sequential
like a CART car add to the realism?

Papy games? Mms, GPL doesn't have it mapped.

Sad thing is, this really isn't much different from N2 or NR99, unlike GPL's
underlying driving model, yet its going to sell loads of copies just because
it has "NASCAR" slapped on it. Sad.

Why is it sad?  Sierra/Papyrus needs to make some profit after giving us
GPL.  What is wrong with that?

I can't find the post from Zonkie so I'm replying to him not Meiji.

I've used Nascar 2 since it was released, and reverse is something I almost
never have to use.
I have it assigned to a key on my keyboard..   I mean if I'm so messed up I
need reverse, I'm probably already reaching for the keyboard to flame
someone anyways :)  (j/k I use flame retardent chat)
