What do you suppose Sierra/Papy are going to use for lies, err I mean advertising hype for n4??? ------------------------------------------- "It contains all of the tracks and drivers of the 2000 Winston Cup racing season!" (Oh wait, they already used that one for N3). "It is the most technically advanced racing sim ever!" (Nah, used that one on GPL. Only subscribers to R.A.S, actually believe it). "A free pony with every purchase of Nascar 4!!!!" (Yeah, that's it. Well, should make the top 10 list anyway. 2_Slow

Dave kaemmer has stated that N4 has a dumbed down driving model than GPL.An example he gave was that when drivng on banking and your tires go on to level ground,your car WILL NOT be upset.He mentioned that this will be to allow more fun while racing instead of constantly spinning if a tire goes off.I wonder how many more dumb-downs have been applied to the physics model to cater for a larger audience.What I am hoping and I feel that Papyrus will give to us is a realism patch so that it drives the way Papyurs wanted it to.

Personally, I'd vote for: "N4 - now you've got the machine to handle it!" or "N4 - what N3 shoulda been!" Kendt Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Stated where? I think most, if not all of your comments below are pure fiction. To my knowledge Kaemmer has never said that the N4 driving model was a "dumbed down" GPL. --David Cook In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] wrote... > Dave kaemmer has stated that N4 has a dumbed down driving model than > GPL.An example he gave was that when drivng on banking and your tires > go on to level ground,your car WILL NOT be upset.He mentioned that > this will be to allow more fun while racing instead of constantly > spinning if a tire goes off.

Technically no. But there was some heavy debates when some press release (or was it an interview?) stated that N4 would feature more accessible physics on n3.discussion a while ago. It went into the whole "apron driving" debate.

Don't be ridiculous, cross-country running is way more popular than Nascar here in the UK. ;) "David Buttery" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
