N99? Well???

3 posts by 3 people · 30 Nov 1998 - 23 Dec 1998

Hi All... Been gone from RAS awhile, and now I'm thinking about picking up N99, but have a few questions. First though, a quick breifing on my system, etc. N2/GN with zero problems. Full field of cars, almost 100% graphics. No problem. Oh yes, I run thru DOS. Here's my questions: Is N99 a DOS game? Any increase in frame rates, or, has it taken a "hit" framerate wise, and is slower than N2? Will there be double file restarts on my "other" tracks (like Daytona and Indy?) or am I stuck with the old track files for these two, hence single file restarts? Is the "10 Lap" rule in the restarts in effect? That is, if there's less than 10 laps, do the cars revert back to single file restart as per Nascar? Any thing I need to be aware of? Problems, etc? Thanks to any and all that respond... Andre

L. Andre Ming wrote Dos for the 3versions and Windows for 3dfx/non-accelerated. There seems to be a hit in 3dfx in the framerate that is unindentified yet, but for the rest it's the same as N2. At any track. Yes it is. It's mostly a bug-free simulator... - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ on the NROS - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--

It's a DOS game. It's a Windows Game. It's a floor-wax :) It's both. If you do Multiplayer, it uses the old DOS .exe. Frame rates are quite a bit lower in the windows version than I saw with N2. With N2, I never saw any track rendering. Now, when on a straight, I see the upcomming turn being drawn. It's quite irritating. To me at least... -Larry
