I recentl received a Thrustmaster wheel and with it was included NASCAR 2. Although as a simulator it is rated very highly (based on reviews I've read), I am a little disappointed in the 640x480/256 color graphics. Are there other games which offer better resolution without sacrificing simulator realism? Thanks. Rich

Rich, If you tell us more about your system and your racing preferences, we might be better equipped to help you out. Some of the newer sims will only run on higher end machines and others will still run on a P90. Some sims require very specific video cards to run correctly. -don "To race is to live, everything else is just waiting." - Rudi Caracciola

If you have a 3dfx card, you can download the 3dpatch from Papyrus which makes an enormous difference. Moe >I recentl received a Thrustmaster wheel and with it was included NASCAR >2.

GPL is nice, but you first have to install!! And I do not manage that!! I get the mess Not a valid CD ROM, contact your vendor... which was Dynabyte in Amsterdam, no a illegal warez supplier, so what do I have to do? DOK

Hi Rich, I have a Screamin' 3D video accelerator card, Pentium 150, and run the rendition mode of Nascar2, and it makes a big difference. I was also disappointed at first, but the 3D card, and the Rendition mode allows for anti-aliasing of the graphics, and really smooths things out.
