Wednesday, the Papyrus Design Group will announce that NASCAR 3 will ship for Christmas of 1998. NASCAR 3s features will include: a new, "third-generation" physics model; Internet multiplayer capability; more customization options; 1998 season teams, drivers, and tracks; and an enhanced AI. Papyrus is a division of Sierra On-Line. Brian Kochmit -Team SAVATS
Not necessarily... Im purchasing the Stealth II S220. N2 is the primary game on my system. (not including games like SimCity 2000 and 3000 when its released soon). I dont have enough time to get ***ed to other games.... my wife nags me now about the time I spend on the computer for my web page and N2. I guess thats why I post messages etc from my office at work =) Need to create time somewhere *laugh* Scott B. Husted [link lost in import: /~sbhusted]

My god,I *HATE* that saying.Ive never heard any 3D card owners but 3Dfx owners say that.(Im not bashing you guys but mailing the company's asking for 3D support and being nice Would be a better approach than not buying the game.Other wise you'll have to wait for a patch.) Brian
Wot, not drooling any more... :) Cheers! John PS - I didn't see any e-mail from you about what we discussed - let me know okay?
*laugh* - my situation isnt that bad... I dont play EVERY night =) Scott B. Husted

Are they going to listen to some ideas from the users? A more realistic AI would be a great improvement on an already "good" simulation.

As you can tell Iam a newbie to Sim raceing and have not got all the terms and ins and out.. Also Iam not very computer smart, I dont have alot of indepth knowledge. Ive been reading ALOT about this 3dfx and Rendition card post. They are talking about sound cards. Is a special card? I have a 150 Pentium 2 gig STB Lightspeed 128bit/2MB MDRAM Ensoniq Vivo Sound Card. Am I on the low end of the Video/ Sound Card . I have very good graphics and sound, or at least I think I do. Sorta give me a lesson on this if/when you have some time Thanking you in advance. dmac

I agreee completely, However, having just baught N2 (I'm only a poor uni student after all! :) I think N2 is one of the best non-3dfx games around - I also only have a 3dfx card, and while I really like it I am not going to go out and buy a couple hundred dollar rendition card just for N2. I think many other people also feel this way and unless software developers start getting into redition big time, I don't think it will live long.... I would like to see a 3dfx patch/version of nascar though... Quentin -- (change 'enemy' to 'bud' to reply.) http://www.ozramp.net.au/~minx/quentisl/index.html
