Interaction Magazine (Sierra's magazine) had a preview of Nascar 2 '99.
Pictures of white face gauges, talk of updated tracks, new tracks, truck
specific physics, 3dfx support, and other goodies have me ready to grab
it as soon as it hits the stores. Only one thing is bothering me, there
is a little line in there that says "Native Windows 95 support", after
the ICR2 Win95 fiasco, I am not looking forward to a Win95 version of
N2. My lowly P166 runs N2 perfect in DOS, it runs in Win95 but it jerks
and wheezes at times. So I was wondering if anyone out there has any
inside info as to whether it will be a "true" Win95 game, or just a
Win95 interface that I can by-pass and still run in DOS.

I used to run N2 or the TPTCC through dos also...But I have found using a
shortcut from the desktop and running it in a "dos box" give very good
preformance.
I run all detail on even the road textures with only a slight hiccup once in
a blue moon.
btw...the GPL demo is a Win95 native program and it runs very very well
on my P200 with a V2100. Of course that is with just one car but.....

tracks online?Anyone know ?If Not then i dont really think it will be worth
getting without Online use.
(my 2 cents)
BULLBAG on TEN
