Hello, old news? If you've been following this NG, you know that most of us have been playing N99 and discussing this stuff for weeks. We've moved on to trouble-shooting and car setups now.

Hello!? He works for Papy. Hello!? Papy released an updated demo of GPL after releasing GPL. Hello!? He was stating this for people that haven't already bought the sim.

Hi, Thanks for putting out a demo Papy! I'am thinking about picking up NR99 for myself for Christmas and at least now I get a chance to try the trucks first. The only problem is that next generation's site either is VERY slow or VERY busy! (The last time I tried my expected download time was over 6 hours at 0.5 KB a sec on a 56K modem!) Hopefully someone will make the demo "non-exclusive" soon so I can download it from another site! Later, John

Since I see you work for papy now, I feel obligated to ask if papy intends to fix the joystick calibration for the DOS exe in NR1999. I'm sure people with the new FF wheels (or anyone looking to purchase one) would very much appreciate it. I know I would. Also, would someone mind explaining why the need for a DOS exe when running multiplayer is not clearly labeled on the NR1999 box? The box says NR1999 is a Windows DirectX product with multiplayer capability. There is no mention at all about a DOS requirement until *AFTER* you install the game. So far papy have been very quite about this deception. I guess I am not surprised. I did buy the game and have fun with it, but I do feel misled... -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >A demo of NASCAR?

Obviously there are some new readers here not familiar with Mr. Busch. I for one welcome any comments he might make to this newsgroup. Thanks Eric. Stan

It's no more misleading than requiring twice the "recommended" hardware in GPL if you actually want to race a field of cars (and have a decent length replay) instead of just hot-lapping alone... Marc.

The OUTSIDE of my box does not state the info you quoted. Please tell me where it is on your box which you evidently do not have because you said "------- believe -----".

Yes please tell :-) I think you cannot tell us where it is Don (besides I was asking Eric anyway), because it isn't freaking there. Duh. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

on >the OUTSIDE of the box that multiplayer REQUIRES (I do believe that even the >box has this word in all caps) DOS executables. I Just checked the box after posting that last message. It isn't listed anywhere that I can see. Besides it *SHOULD* be in the requirement section on the bottom of the box. We shouldn't be arguing about this and be hunting around for the info anyway... So I wonder Don, if you are some type of a-hole, or does your box really have it clearly labeled that DOS is required for multiplayer. Mine sure doesn't and I have to wonder why you would post such a ridiculous thing. Oh, and my sincere apologies for calling you an a-hole if it really is clearly labeled on the box. But it isn't :-) -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com
