Suggestions for Papyrus for CART '99

1. Name it Championship Racing 99. 2. License the FedEx CART symbol. 3. License ALL drivers, no matter how much EA charges for Andretti's name. 4. Allow for addons for future engines, tires, chassis, tracks. 5. Free internet multi-player. We will not pay. 6. Make the cars turn on the front wheels, not the center of gravity. 7. Better paint kit.

With Japan and Brazil (hopefully) joining in the sim, why not give it a more interational name (with CART attached)? CART's name has to be on it somewhere, if not for the license, then at least for some form of product recognition (I would think). Duh, kinda' goes without saying, no? Charge both EA and Andretti for the priveledge of having even been considered for (what may turn out to be) the hottest sim ever. Let's hope some form of editing is possible, at least so they don't take Ubi's approach to locking the thing up tighter than a nat's... <insert appropriate orifice description here> Speak for yourself. I would cheerfully pay for the service only if the quality and commitment were there, and done in-house, rather than farmed out to TEN (or whomever)...Logistical nightmare otherwise. I guess you haven't been paying attention to what Papyrus has been up to lately? 6-point physics will no doubt be in there. All I ask is that one be included, I'll take care of the rest. =) Cheers!

Forget it. The word is that MS have exclusive rights to on-line CART racing. Kali style is the best we can hope for with 'Fed Ex Racing' :(( Cheers, Richard

by mid 99 we should all have cable modems so KAIL might actually work fine

8. 3dfx support 9. 3dfx support 10. Did I mention, 3dfx support? Well, just in case, 3dfx support

% by mid 99 we should all have cable modems so KAIL might actually work % fine Not unless they fix the fact that all outgoing data must be sent over the phone line. As cable modem systems now work, you only receive data over the cable all outgoing traffic must use your phone line. -- **************************** Michael E.

Bit difficult to use a cable modem if your area isn't cabled and there are no plans for it to be cabled either :( Cheers, Richard

Same here...Looks like I might have to move back to the big-city, all for the sake of sims!! =P Cheers! Marc

1.) In ICR2 the car wonders on the straights that should be fixed when you have wheel centred the car supposed to remain straight. 2.) I've noticed in ICR2 the car manges to get oversteer at 30 mph on a straight that is very unrealistic. 3.) And finally if your wheels touches the grass or sand your car should not go into a spin. Because in real racing youy never see cars oversteering in sand or grass. Other than that it does not need much work.

Hope your wrong. Else it's time to break out the shotguns an declare MS season. (Did I say something about hoping he was wrong?)

You appear to have ICR2/CART Racing (and the Papyrus successor in 1999) confused with MS-CPR (CART Precision Racing by Microsoft.

I'ld rather fork out for a fixed link than go back to living in a city ;-) More likely I'll go ISDN within 6 months as it might finally become affordable in the UK by Summer. After that there's xDSL on the horizon. I think I can keep living in the country... <vbg> Cheers, Richard
