Status Of NHRA Drag Racing ?

6 posts by 5 people · 10 Jun 1998 - 11 Jun 1998

Anyone know the status of Tantrum's NHRA Drag Racing ? One of the main reasons I got a 3dfx card was because this sim will require a 3d/3dfx card ! Tim
It'll also scream on a Riva. > One of the main reasons I got a 3dfx card was because this sim will require > a 3d/3dfx card ! -- (please change antispam to worldnet.att 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 talked with Tony Simerman, the President of Tantrum Entertainment, on the phone today for about 2 hours. He did say that NHRA will be out this month, but did not give a specific date. The only reason he would hold it back is if there was a major flaw that made it into the final release and it was spotted just before the release. We also discussed the possibility of an NHRA online racing league and what it will take to accomplish this. Though no definate decisions were made, it is a possibility.

>It'll also scream on a Riva. Thanks Marc. I wasn't sure if it was really optimized for the nVidia chipset (only rumors). Thats better for us, Riva128 + Rendition users.

I have a Diamond Viper V330 AGP card (nVidia chipset). Are you sure NHRA will work with my card? Thanks. -Bill

A friend has a beta optimized for the Riva-128, and most of the code finished for the 3dfx version. This goes back more than a month, so I would assume(!) that both 3d-optimizations are now complete. Seeing NHRA run on the Riva was fantastic! Cheers! Marc > I have a Diamond Viper V330 AGP card (nVidia chipset). Are you sure NHRA > will work with my card? Thanks. -- Marc J.
