I believe that when we buy a sim we are paying for creativity and the work that was put into it. Ideas too. My favorite image from the pre release of GP3 was a MPEG found on the internet showing a GP3 sound engineer discussing the difficulties involved in recreating the sounds of F1.. (I guess his work was more difficult than he thought, what with only one car audible!) The 4 years of so-called GP3 development is one of the great simracing hoaxes ever. Quite funny really, how gullible they judge the public to be. In NASCAR Heat you have the *option* to watch a replay in a small window while telemetry is being displayed, and I think its great. mr Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
I'm sure you can turn it off somewhere, but maybe not in the demo (if it's toggled with a key I missed it too). Anyway, it's well out of one's line of sight, so I'm not too bothered by it.

Can you toggle off all the overlays during driving? Perhaps I missed it in the readme, but I don't want to see my brake position, gear, lap time, position etc. Stephen Jo Helsen <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

In NH, if your watching the standard replay, you can choose 'STATS' and this will take you to a replay that displays some of your telemetry data while you watch. Being somewhat dim, I just discovered this tonight, but it instantly gave me a grudge towards Crammond/Hasbro/GP3. I know, I know, I know its beating a dead horse, but when I see this feature in NH.. a wonderful NEW feature, it makes me disgusted over what Hasbro is dishing out. You know what? I'm proud that I downloaded GP3 in warez form, and I aint going to buy the damn game either! And another thing, I'm also proud that I preordered NASCAR Heat from Babbages already. I will gladly support this kind of professionalism with my money. Gladly. Hasbro can go screw themselves. mr Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

You're not alone on that - I feel the same way, actually. As a matter of fact, if I didn't burn the warez GP3 to a CD, I wouldn't even have GP3 in my possession. But I'll be there next week, eager to pick up NH.

Gimme a break!!! If that isn't the ultimate example of nitpicking!!! That's almost like saying the ability to 'pause' the game is unrealistic. After all, real race car drivers can't pause the race.

Just offering a different point of view... For every argument pro there is one against. If you think long enough. JoH
