N2002 Explained!

The oddly-named HomeLAN Fed site (which seems to have little to do with homes, LANs, or the Feds) shagged an interview with Papyrus' Rich Yasi on the whats, whys & wherefors of NASCAR 2002 that's definitely worth a look: http://www.homelanfed.com/index.php?id=4465 --Steve Smith ; http://www.homelanfed.com/index.php?id=4465

I hate to admit it, but it looks like Papy will get my money again. There are just enough new features in there to make it sound like it is worth it. Only problem I see at this point is that the "Coca Cola Speedway" is liable to be the only one running on servers for quite some time...

There was also an interview with Papyrus producer Tom Faiano posted last week at Gamespot (link below). One thing mentioned in the Gamespot article was that a new damage model would be included, making it easier to get damaged. http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/previews/0,10869,2840606,00.html On Mon, 28 Jan 2002 18:43:23 -0500, "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Thanks Steve..I like the way the demo feels. The tire model does feel accurate and the cars are fun to drive. One wonders what an open wheel sim would be like from these folks now a days :o) DC Stephen Smith <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:BSk58.22709$[email hidden]...

Much as I WOULD have liked to see Papy do another CART sim, somehow the idea of one with no engines, sponsors, or tracks to run on doesn't sound too fun. The way CART's going right now you'd end up driving the Enron/Toro 0.2 liter with 11 hp. Though a 2001 version where you could only go as far as the practice session at Texas...

Man you havent been paying attention have you?

Hell, you'll be lucky if CART is around, let alone a sim depicting it. =) Scott PA-Scott "TRUSRS85" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > >One wonders what an open wheel sim > >would be like from these folks now a days :o) > > > CART SIM PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!

Looser than what? GA

Agreed. At the end of the day, this is probably the most important new feature. Marc "John Hilsman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
