When are they releasing it? I wonder if it is a track editor, or maybe a patch similar to the Touring car patch for n2 Trevor Lefler

> Does anyone know what it might be??? Yes. ;) Cheers! Marc -- (please remove '_*_' when replying) Sim Racing News - http://www.simnews.com The Sim Project - http://www.simproject.com * No animals were harmed in the making of this e-mail *

I know a track editor would make me very happy! John -- I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.

Yes we are, but that isn't what the big to-do is all about from The Pits. Frankly, what you guys will see makes the WSC patch look like a blade of grass in a wind storm...In other words, it blows anything we could do away! =) Cheers! Marc

I assume that the SimProject patch would only be posted on their site, and that the patch from The Pits is different. By the way Mark, don't be such a tease!!!!!!!!Just kidding, it must be nice to have the inside scoop! Trevor Lefler

Just for the record, I'm betting this will be the long-awaited N2-->ICR2 track converter!! What do you guys think?

> How about just a release date? Jan hasn't given me any release date for his suprise, but judging that he said "soon" (and by past experience) I would guess at March 1st (but don't hold me to that - it's entirely up to Jan). BTW, plenty of clues about "what" will be released are on The Pits US site - you just haven't looked hard enough. ;) Cheers!

aw com on just tell us !

Chuck Kandler wrote Hmm well... If they do this it's a major achievment. Nascar2 has a totally new graphic engine. If you just check Nascar1 and Indycar2 share the same sort of graphic engine. The 3do files, trk and all the stuff into the dat files are very related. For Nascar2 they decided to change the graphic engine, and it's for the best. It's a step higher, like GPL will be another one. I can't see all the beautiful graphics of Hickory in Icr2. Well, they could do it, but it would eliminate most of the graphics. The Icr2 engine can't support it AFAIK. Just imagine Red Rock for Icr2 ;-) Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard on NROS> Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ May the downforce be with you and Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Excuse me for being provocative (I'm dumb speaking) begin 666 ymenard.vcf M0D5'24XZ5D-!4D0-"DXZ3>EN87)D.T9R86[G;VES.TXN#0I&3CIY;65N87)D M3#M#14Q,.U9/24-%.DXO00T*5$5,.TA/344[1D%8.DXO00T*0412.TA/344Z M.SLQ,30V.2!/=FED92U#;&5R;6]N=#M-;VYT<F5A;"U.;W)D.U%U96)E8SM( M3E1!0DQ%.C$Q-#8Y($]V:61E+4-L97)M;VYT/3!$/3!!36]N=')E86PM3F]R M+F%W<'-S+F-O;2\-"E523#IH='1P.B\O=W=W+F%W<'-S+F-O;2\-"D5-04E, M.U!2148[24Y415).150Z>6UE;F%R9$!A=W!S<RYC;VT-"D5.1#I60T%21 T* ` end

V2.0 of the TouringCar patch to be released at the end of Februari! Wowwww!!! If this is based on the ICR2 game...... 6 gears......revving like a real Touring Car. This would be awesome! Cheers!

I also guessed that, but since checking the site over, I can only guess again that the Nascar2 = ICR2 track converter will soon be released. I'm basing this on the fact that David Noonan who wrote the ICR2 = N2 convertor has signed on as an official member of the pits. His convertor was crucial for the Touring car sim based on N2. The TPTCC v2.0 should still be based on the old 4speed N2 engine. (wouldn't it be cool if they could squeeze a 6 speed gearbox into that thing?) Dave Henrie

There is nothing in the works at the present time. -- Jim Dunphy The Grandstand http://www.geocities.com/motorcity/4211/ The Pits http://www.theuspits.com To err is human, to moo is bovine.

TPTCC v2.0 will NOT change the Nascar2.exe, as this will stop people who havn't got enough hard disk space for two installations from using TEN or the like. I cannot see any way there is of changing the gears without changing the Nascar2.exe. Sorry.
