I have to thank you too for your patience, writing replys to my posts and the emails i sent you regarding 320x400 mode. I must excuse for some rude words i used in some of my emails. I hope i didn't scare you away from this newsgroup. I still believe you Papyrus guys are wrong in a couple places: As for IndyII, if it doesn't contain a graphics mode above 320x200, where i can play the game with a smooth frame rate with most details set to on on my DX2/66, i won't buy it. (i already have your 320x200 version of Indy) As for Dos/Windows, you won't sell a single copy more if you do two separate versions for windows and dos, cos it's the same group of customers you're looking at. Noone will buy the dos AND the windows version. You'd better do it for one platform and make it as good as it can get. That's what i ment with "doing a windows version is bullshit". Ralf

Thank you all for the kind words. I'm just trying to be responsive to the questions of our customers. And Ralf, I understand your point about 320x400, and while I think you are mistaken about several points, I have brought it up in-house and we will spend time discussing whether or not to do it in future products. It *will* *not* be in ICR II, however. Rick Genter Technical Lead, IndyCar Racing II/NASCAR Racing for Macintosh/Windows Papyrus Design Group, Inc.
