No, just setup options, like in N3 or GPL or whatever. Hey Mark, I saw that you were going to start a Nascar2000 series. It won't work for one reason.. The laptime and the wall-clock time won't match up in N2K. N2K, like NR before it and GP2 before that doesn't drop frames when there is a heavy graphics load. Therefore it will simply slowdown, etc. while the old clock on the wall ticks away. It would be impossible to run any kind of off-line series with it, if that is what you planned. HEY, what about a series with F1-2000? It is VERY cool, Mark. -- * rrev at mindspring dot com *

Here is the post where the N2K game producer states that the real-time vs. game-time won't be equal: ================================================================== http://chatter.external.ea.com:4180/mb/user/message.html?NoFrames=1&message=26977 Subject: Uh Oh......That didn't sound good Topic: NASCAR Games - PC Author: Morgan-EASPORTS Date: 03/21/00 16:01:47 It is unfortunate that Jeff has had that experience with the game. It has me scratching my head because most of the time I run in Veteran with everything ON in NASCAR Options and Short Pit ON. I have done multiple seasons an 100's of races at the various tracks without an almost opposite experience to his ... And as I stated earlier the real times vs. game times are not 100% accurate. We went for feel of the track over being accurate. -m =================================================================== -- * rrev at mindspring dot com *

Do any of the game menu options allow you to change the performance of the car? I've seen that kind of crap in a couple of brand new games recently, and it *destroys* the opportunity to have competitions, online OR offline. MR Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
