Hi,
I haven't bought CPR yet, (I heard it has only shipped in the US,
is it available in Canada yet?) but I have tried the demo. I remember
eading that initial field size is set depending on your CPU. Has
anyone who has the full version of CPR and a P120 tried to run it with
a full field of cars? With 26 cars does it make the game too choppy?
(there must be a lot of calculations involved with keeping track of 26
cars, especially if they each have moving suspension, etc).
On a totally different note, are the rumours I'am hearing about a
track editor true? I would defently pick up this sim if a track
editor is being released for it! (and if the patch is good) Maybe I
can build that 4 mile super speedway I've always wanted!
Later,
John
Track editor available in the next week or two.

have a contest to see who could build the best track, and then
contract a compnay to build it!

As you probably saw, Dean CART Team (that's his full legal
name, I understand) confirmed the track editor will be out
soon...
As for me, I've always wanted to build about a 3 mile
"Super Road Course" with high banked "Super S's" and
perhaps a double carousel (sp?)... If it works out well,
maybe Microsoft will sponsor me building the real thing
someday?

I want to build my "home" track, Mosport, former site of the
Canadian Grand Prix.

And as for MS sponsoring you to build a real 3 mile super road course ... er
... I think it's
great that you have a dream.
The track editor is coming next week (hopefully) and you can see a preview
of the "CPR Texture Tool"
at the APEX - it basically allow you to edit all the car texture sets and
use them as your defaults.

Hey, if we can't dream, we can't live...
How about a much cheaper alternative then? When are we going
to see a Microsoft sponsored CART car making laps?!? It's only
natural that it happens... it's a win-win situation... people see the
car on the track (and the accompanying demo in the merchandising
area) and they want to buy the game so they can drive their "home
track(s)"... then, they play the other tracks and want to go to
those races... then, they see the MS car out there, and think,
"Hey, that Microsoft is a great company... I think I'll ditch my ol'
Mac and/or OS/2 running computer and get a new one that comes
with Win95/Win98!!"
