Thanks, I must have skimmed right over that part..

An improved damage model is always welcome. However, how about an improved REPAIR model? Up till now, you got one swing of the hammer, and that was it. No additive damage repair. You get what you get in the next pit stop, and that's it. In REAL racing, each time you pit the crew can improve the car just a little bit more. Hey, if they are gonna beat me up harder, at least give me the chance to fix it right :) -Larry "John Hilsman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Does this mean that OpenGL will no longer be the preferred graphics mode? I don't quite understand the repercussions of what was printed. -Larry "DJR420" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Gep58.38629$[email hidden]...

Actually, I think Papyrus focused really on what you ask for, the repair model and how damage affects you on the track (before or after repair). It was written in that gamespot interview, iirc. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://www.ymenard.8m.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

Good point, I've wondered about that too. -John Larry (The Other Larry) <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:dUp58.18391$[email hidden]... > An improved damage model is always welcome. > > However, how about an improved REPAIR model? > > Up till now, you got one swing of the hammer, and that was it.

Well, not really. I didn't see anything about repairs being more realistic, and additive with multiple pit stops. -Larry "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:4bq58.9749$[email hidden]...

Sounds to me its available but with no performance gain from running DirectX. "Larry (The Other Larry)" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:TUp58.18392$[email hidden]...
