Frank, Frank, Frank -- please step away from the monitor and put the keyboard down, because you've obviously lapsed into slack-jawed Papy adoration, at the expense of good, sound, reasoned judgement. F1 2000 was a damn fine sim (FAR better than GP3 in the physics department) so if F1CS qualifies as a "half-sim," then I guess that would make N4 a bastard sim ("What do you get when you cross a 1967 GP car with a Winston Cup car . . . ?"). Now wipe the drool from your chin and stand up straight -- you're embarrassing us. -- JB Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
Come on Francois... that's a bit harsh. There are positive signs for this one, not the least of which it's predecessor being not half bad when patched. I'm prepared to give this series another go when F1CS2000 arrives. That's after I try the Nascar4 demo, of course.<g> Jan. =--- ymenard wrote...

Like I've said before, if you don't see the attraction and the challenge, you don't understand the problem. Jan. =--- David G Fisher wrote... > The only problem with that line of thinking is that > NASCAR 4 is unfortunately a NASCAR sim. > > David G Fisher
The only problem with that line of thinking is that NASCAR 4 is unfortunately a NASCAR sim. David G Fisher "Luke Phillips" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3a24a07c$0$19402$[email hidden]... > bah, who cares.... BRING ON NASCAR4 i say :) > > Luke > -=87=-
its no problem, i dont mind watching passing other than in pits, sure u might think that they just go round in circles, but at least its within very close range of each other, unlik f1 when its a close race for the lead - "he's only 3secs behind, this is riviting stuff, unbelieveable!".

But when you'll be racing a road course online season with 43cars around the Nurburgring, you will consider it more then just a "NASCAR" sim. It's a stock-car simulation, a car that has challenges and it's own characteristics. It's a beast. Of course with your biased views, I doubt you will see that.

Depends on which web sites you care to visit, I wouldn't define Nascar3 as "only" a Nascar sim any more :-), but of course, even the combined talent of the whole "Pit Crew" can't turn it into an F1 sim....:-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com
But wait, it has GPL physics! LOL I love that line...you are correct, it is STILL a Nascar sim...and people seem to be overlooking the fact that GPL has GPL physics! JB "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ir1V5.152453$[email hidden]...

OK so you clearly dislike F1 (while you are chewing tobacco no doubt), so why are you even reading this stuff? -- [email hidden] "Luke Phillips" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3a24a5a1$0$19414$[email hidden]... > its no problem, i dont mind watching passing other than in pits, sure u > might think that they just go round in circles, but at least its within very > close range of each other, unlik f1 when its a close race for the lead - > "he's only 3secs behind, this is riviting stuff, unbelieveable!".

Oh boy this guy is unbelievable... OK so *NOW* what is wrong with F1CS??? (you sound like a gore lawyer too). -- [email hidden]
I agree. The whole going around in circles for hours as entertainment escapes me, but the cars themselves are not as fun to drive as say Cart cars, in my opinion. This is a GAME I will not buy. And it is a game, by the way. > The only problem with that line of thinking is that NASCAR 4 is > unfortunately a NASCAR sim. > > David G Fisher

Bah I'm the first in line to slap them also. > F1 2000 was a damn fine sim It wasn't fine. There is no good F1 modern sim at the moment. There never was. Gp2 was as close to that when released, but at the moment none exist. They are stink, they all have major faults that just make me cringe. > ("What do you get when you cross a 1967 GP > car with a Winston Cup car . . . ?"). Nothing, you just don't understand that N4 has no relation to GPL, but relation to the new game engine which both title share. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.
