soda/n2 analysis

i am just wondering if sierra/papyrus( or whoever u wanna call that made n2 and soda) can make that track creater for soda what stops them from making it for n2 .....im sure the same technical stuff is involved...anyway just a theory

The game runs like ***with 1990 graphics. Well the dirt looks good. The cars and the***pits look like sh#t. Well it looks like Papyrus has gone to hell now that Mr.$$$$$ Sierra has bought them out. Another one to go with a10 cuba. Thank God Frys will let me return this piece of ***and buy something else. CRASH

Er... the game was coded by Software Allies, produced by Papyrus, and published by Sierra. -- Eric T. Busch [link lost in import] >The game runs like ***with 1990 graphics.

Ok I may be but if I am 100% wrong, care to tell me why. Me meaning of this statement was that there are not individual traction values for each track. In Nascar sims, each track has a tire value which represents how quick the tires on the car wear out on each track. I don't think SODA has this. Brian
