Well first of all there is a sidebar of other shots at Tally and some other tracks. What got me though, is that at first glance, I thought the rearview mirror was another one of those shots, it's that detailed. It does have some sheen coming off of it, which dulls it like a real mirror, but I hope that it's dynamic, because it could get rather annoying. It's a 3D cockpit with a steering wheel, (no hands\arms to be seen) but what's amazing is that it's as sharp as the 2D cockpits, you can read all the numbers clearly. There are more gauges than before, but one is obscured by the wheel, maybe it's a meaningless gauge. While oil pressure is there, unfortunately the fuel load indicator is still there. I know papy thinks people will think this is unrealistic or something, but haven't most NASCAR fans heard Benny Parsons point out the fact that there is no gas gauge? Couldn't it be togleable like the speed reading is? That should be my only complaint about N4 screenshots. The cracks at Tally aren't a big deal... and the switches may not be dynamic either, but who cares... :) This game looks AWESOME! :) two smileys is too many...

That is a fuel pressure gauge (if you look close you'll see its labeled as such and goes from 0-15PSI). -- Eric "Kai Fuller" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:zEf65.238243$[email hidden]... > > There are more gauges than before, but one is obscured by the wheel, maybe > it's a meaningless gauge.

actually I did look really close at it Eric, but it was dark when I was trying read the little writing under Fuel. I can read it just fine now in full daylight. I thought it was a little weird actually that the fuel gauge went to 15, but I wasn't going to get too picky. :) so now the dashboard is fully authentic? A couple questions then... How exactly does the fuel pressure gauge work, does it start dropping suddenly when the fuel gets low or something? That was my understanding of it. Secondly what is the gauge OIL TEMP and OIL PRESSURE? it starts with a W but is obscured. It's not Water temp, that's visible....

actually it's a two page ad, with a 1 paragraph article in the 100 hottest games section. Skotty Flynn <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
