It's absolutely great that Papyrus now has some real competition , can only
help
all of us sim racers. Whether N4 turns out to be better than NH is really
not as important as the fact that we now have 2 Nascar games to compete with
each other. Can only help raise the bar a bit we will all benefit. I can
guarantee you that Heat has got the attention of the guys at Papyrus. I
always thought that N4 would end up being N3 with updated graphics and not
any real changes to the physics of the game , maybe now it that won't happen
. Hmmmm.... now if we can get Ed to start working on an operating system
Look out Mr Gates LOL Steve P

NO! whats important is: that while these two fine examples of sim coding
have been produced....NOBODY seems to be working on a good CART
sim.....(I had to say that for Trukster's benefit)

Free the ICR2 source code!
N4 was always going to have the full GPL physics, heat or no heat. This was
announced ages ago.

You think that if they'd been competing against another product, they would
have marketed it better? Interesting concept. But, assuming the competing was
more 'accessible', I don't think the sales would have been that much better.
You still have the difficulty factor to get over...
