Hawaii Assigned Cars Petition (Please READ)

Follow this link to a petition for the option of assigned cars in the hawaii service. The producers of hawaii need to hear from people. Allowing assigned cars in user-created series will enhance the driving experience for everyone. http://www.card.unc.edu/~ivl/hawaii_petition.html Thank you, David Martin

This is stupid. What if you and I are assigned the same car? We can't race together? Get real. If you don't like what Papyrun is doing, do use it. Simple. Mike

The purpose of assigning cars is that no two drivers would drive the same car and every driver would be in the same car everytime they joined a user-created series race (not pickup, not NRL). We're asking for a little personalization in hawaii that Papyrus has opted to leave out. They have a legitimate reason for leaving it out of NRL. I agree with them on that fact, however, there are still drivers out there that are looking for something more. You have offline racing where you drive the same car every week but not against real drivers. You have hawaii where you drive against real drivers but not the same car. David Martin

Excuse me David but this is getting old.I think it would be nice to see the same driver in the same car week after week and so on, but me not being that much of a computer Genious could you explain something to me.How in the world would they be able to come up with lets say 20,000 plus assigned cars for everyone to have a different car.I might be way off base but when NSR2 comes out everyone who buys it will have the opprotunity to join the NRL so my guesstimite might be Low.I think the way things are is fine just use your F2 key and you will always no who is around you at all times and what car they are in . Just my $.015 worth

I guess this would be ok but real I could care less what car I drive. Have helmet will travel. Gene

Look its real easy. 1. have a page pop up with all the car numbers like a catologe. 2. before a driver is allowed to enter a race he is allowed to pick the car number he wants to drive in. 3. let it go in order of skill level. 4. user created leagues can make there own carset so they will know what cars they will be driving. in that case we wont be fighting over who has what car. 5. i already thought of idea well why dont we just sign in in same order each week. we cant not everyone shows up each and every week. its possible for papyrus to do this i mean look they measure tire temps cons. i think that is alot harder than this. i guess its just the case of nascar monopilizing the *** world too. it seems papyrus listened too our ideas more when nascar was not a part of it. no offence Ed your doing a gret job. sorry if you have to read another message about this subject. btw how is the petition sheet doing?

David - you don't need a petition for my sake, we're sold on the need to get assigned cars for Hawaii drivers at the earliest possible time. The only problem at this point is priorities - there's the issue of making the service into a viable commercial service (IE - cost less for you than long distance, bring some revenue in to Papyrus); there's the issue of supporting more than 128 concurrent users; there's the NASCAR II release; there's the NRL. You can rest assured that assigned cars will be in there as soon as it is practically possible, though it isn't practically possible right now and no amount of additional user feedback can change that (because we've already got the message).

Shouldn't we actually be worrying about the more important aspects of the simulation? Like getting the hat guy into the victory lane shots for the interview session? Just kidding David, this idea still had merit, just needs a really good implementation method. Matt Myers --------------------------------------------- Expressing individualism is just plain wrong.

Mike, Think about Night Owls races. Wouldn't it be nice if you got to race in your car every week and you could see me in mine? Papyrus are saying now that is impossible with the production version of Hawaii. In NRL, you will be racing against a different bunch of drivers in EVERY race. Half the battle of running a clean race is learning the driving quirks of each driver. Think about having to do that for every race. Personally, I would prefer to race against the same drivers for a season. I will probably participate in the NRL if the costs are reasonable. But my first choice will still be a closed league of drivers that race together every week. Dave "davids" Sparks Sequoia Motorsports

David M....I can now see your point. Makes sence, but I don't think a petition will change their minds. But I now see your point, and appologize for calling your idea stupid. David S....Yes it would be fun to race with you, why don't you slow down a little, so I can?? ;) HAHA Mike (Parnelli)

I agree, I spent 10 hours this weekend then came to my sences " This is a L O N G distance phone call. I also agree that racing against the same drivers would be not only more enjoyable but more competitive. Just my $0.02 worth Mike

Never! Actually, I just want you to recognize my car so you know to stay out of the way when I lap you. <g> Dave "davids" Sparks Sequoia Motorsports

David - I said we plan to do something with assigned cars _eventually_, but unfortunately its a low priority item at present until we can crack a few bigger nuts, and user feedback can't change the priorities at this time. Charlie Heath Papyrus Design Group
