n1999- comparison of New Tracks with "homebuilt" tracks for N2

Has anyone compared the new Papy n1999 tracks with the tracks that the N2 gurus built for n2 such as Fleming, Evergreen, Louisville, I70, Homestead, etc.? IMHO, Sierra/Papy did a good job on the new tracks! Tim A. Deatherage "Admitted Sim ***"

The N2 gurus as you say are doing the best they can with the tools they have available to create and reproduce new or known tracks for us. Papyrus will always do a better job cause they have the source code and better graphics structure tools and knoledge to recreate the actual tracks for us. Plus they probably spend some time at the tracks or looking at photos to recreate each little detail as much as possible. cheers, Dave Thayer

I definitely agree with you Dave. Obviously, there are certain "tooling" limitations when the gurus take xyz track and change it to the ABC track. Radiuses cannot be changed therefore the non-sierra track designers are very limited. I found Heartland Park once for my CTS set and it was not at all like the real track ( it may have been Portland ?) Anyway, I like n99 and the new tracks and better 3dfx definition ! Tim A.

An outstanding job, in fact :) If only as much attention was paid to the controller code in the DOS versions :) -Larry > IMHO, Sierra/Papy did a good job on the new tracks!
