The V3 stuff is something we're going to leave to the hackers. The demo
wasn't even out... check that... the press beta wasn't out for more than a
few hours before someone had already cracked that one.
The issue - as I posted in another thread - is that we had to target the
options & UI at a certain audience. While most sim-ers out there are
willing & able to toy with stuff AND they understand the consequences, many
in the broader market aren't there. We didn't want to stick a bunch of
stuff in their face that would result in a flood of support calls regarding
poor performance.

I second that emotion.

Before you buy.
One thing I noticed while playing the demo: there seem to be no skid marks
or sparks while in replay mode - could this be fixed with a patch ?
Also, how about an option to at least enable 1024x768 on a voodoo3 when
running the lowest detail level. I understand that the 16mb card cannot cope
with the texture load, but in low detail mode there are a lot less objects
and therefore textures present. Would this be possible ?
Anyway, congrats for an exciting sim - excellent stuff. From the moment I
have the NH CD in my drive, N3 will collect Dust.
cheers,

The beat the heat deal is great, would be a great add-on cd, lots of new
scenarios to go after.

Also, I have a LWFF and CH pedals. Unfortunately the CH pedals are not
reckognized in Heat. It would be very nice to be able to use more axis
in Heat, just like GPL supports more axis.

Hmm, most of the sim-ers are willing&able to turn an option on/off manualy
in some *.cfg file. Others can have whatever you think they can handle. Just
a thought.

thanks, it's a reasonable explanation and a good concept. Keep it up, Also
thanks for supporting the sim-ers the way you do.
btw. 1024x768x16 mode works and performs well in Win2k (low detail).
p.s.: am I allowed to get my hopes up for LAN play supporting 16+ players
(all high spec PC's in a monthly GPL league) or should I stop dreaming ?

Using CH Pro Pedals in car mode and it's recognized as split
axis with no problem. Does the 'Pro' make all the difference?

Someone will write an "Advanced Options Editor" to facilitate those that
don't want to mess with the text file.
Probably have a full help system and everything.
Hmm... Sounds like a good first project to try in Python...
