I've been playing around with Nascar 2 for about a week now and I gotta say how much I've been enjoying it. The AI is fantastic, the graphics are incredible and the spotter is so nice to have. Although it's not without its faults, I love this sim! And to have to Adam, Jim and the rest on here for follow up getting suggestions and criticisms alike is great. How they put up with the "I hate Sierra" and "Papyrus sucks" day in and day out without saying the hell with us all is beyond me. Also, with Papy's track record you can bet your last nickel that they are working on a patch right now. Now, all I need is that Screamin 3D card I ordered to come in and I'll be in gamin' heaven. Nascar 2 and Quake in hi-res! So Adam, thanks for the great product and give the rest of the team a pat on the back, they deserve it. *********************************************** * * * Karl aka The Dobeman * * Clan member of Zealot Wroth * * * *********************************************** * * * 1996 Ninja 500 1995 VW Golf * * 1995 Wife & 1990 Doberman * * * ***********************************************

Maybe I am the only one that is having serious problems with the AI? How can that be? The following is a cut from another post I made, that no one responded to. (maybe my news server never sent it) My problems with AI of N2. Quick example, Aprox 30 laps into a race at Atlanta, and a yellow comes out. I get pushed to the end of the pack avoiding the wreck. First yellow lap no one pits. Being at the end, I figure I'll pit on the 2nd yellow lap and just change the right side tires. So I do that and we are all on the final yellow lap, I hear the "green flag green flag" then "leader is pitting". The friggin rest of the pack decided to pit when it went GREEN! Also I've been wrecked countless times by cars following the line way to closely. (usually turn 1 at Alanta) Its almost as though they don't "know" you are there. Sometimes on green restarts I hear the "leader is pitting" and it looks like the AI cars are faking a pit. (usually the 1st 5 or 6 cars at the lead) They start into the pits, and at the last second come back out slowing the whole pack down. Am I the ONLY one seeing this? (I can't believe that?) Also what happened to double file restarts? I've even tried to reinstall the game, cause I can't believe the AI is this bad Andy [link lost in import: /~ridger] Kali/Nascar/*** WARNING: MY E-MAIL ADDRESS HAS BEEN ALTERED TO PREVENT UNWANTED JUNK MAIL!

Well said. The only real fault I think is the unable to save during a race hassle. 185 mph average at Talledega at 100% would be about 3 hours bar yellows round about. I for one can not sit there at the computer that long as I have spinal problems so I really need to have a save patch. ( Hint Adam... :-) Apart from that worth every cent.

Like I said "The only real fault". I dont seem to be having half the problems everyone else is having so I cant coment on what does not effect me and I do use all the features. Might be because I read the manuel. Shane Lansky Hobart,Tasmania Australia
