Long ago, when ICR2 was new, I marveled at the barely recognizable carshapes in the mirrors. Now as I'm older, perhaps not wiser, but definatley more experienced, I drove Nascar Heat. At first I put the mirrors to just the cars so the framerate wouldn't drop down too much. But that...looked JUST like the ICR2 mirrors and that was just plain wrong...:) After the big fully detail mirror in SCGT, the improved D3d mirrors in GPL and the wraparound mirror in N3, the old CAR ONLY view just didn't look right. So I chose the 'all' option for the mirrors and NOW what did I see??? N2/99 in reverse! With N3 and soon N4, I thought the days of watching the track get drawn in were over...hehe...but checkiing out the mirror in NH, I saw the track cut-off at about the same distance that N2 used to draw it in! Btw...the expert level of NH felt very similar to N3 , the normal mode had the stickyness of SCGT and the hardcore has the traits of a GPL-like drive. Not slippery beyond control, but keep your car smooth or you will be kissing the inside wall. Good Job MGI dave henrie -- dave henrie Free the ICR2 source code!
