Airborne at Dega--New N4 screenshot

Papy posted a new screenshot of the 83 car getting airborne and backwards at Talladega. The first thing I noticed is the pitroad is straight. Then, I noticed the car with three wheels off the ground and the fourth about to follow its friends. WOW!!!

What Papy needs to do now, is make the roof line on the #12 car a half inch too low, and give it 5 more hp for running altered fuel for realism :/ 2_Slow "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Take a look at the tires, they look low enough to be responding to the lack of ground (visible working shocks like GPL) Second with almost no crowd, it looks like practice which means someone is gonna be pissed <G>

Incredible detail! Look At Mayfields' car coming into the screenshot. It's hard to tell the difference from a real picture. It may be a detail, but I hope the roof flaps are working too.

"Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> wrote > I thinks perhaps you need glasses, Tim! No, I think his point is very well said. If we compare what we see in those screenshots to a title released not even half a decade ago, the picture quality and texture resolution is closer and closer to photo-realistic quality. Take a peek at RC2000 for example, or in those case, the two NASCAR titles who will be released this year. Take a distance of a meter from the screen and look at his front fender. Still, Im unsure if what we see is actually a reflection of the road. It's probably just a different gray shading. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

Computer graphics have improved a lot. Remember the computer graphics when you where a kid Bruce? :-p Bruce Kennewell <[email hidden]> schreef in berichtnieuws [email hidden]...

Oh...most certainly, Tim. I was only chatting about this yesterday, as a matter-of-fact, with my son and we were discussing how we used to oooh! and aaaah! over 256 colour-SVGA graphics! However, "photo-realistic" this isn't....even _with_ my glasses! -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Tim Vanhee <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:iL_Q4.151163$[email hidden]... > Computer graphics have improved a lot.

And the graphics on _MY_ abacus were in 16 colours....so there! -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > trick Question !!
