>Any one from MGI out there (or anyone else for that matter) know the answer to >this one???? I'd be interested in finding this out as well. Heck, I'd even go a couple of bucks for an add-on pack. LOVE this puppy!!! BTW, did you see the screen shots in the Avault review? There's a dandy wallpaper (how'd they do that?) of a crash after turn 1 at Ridge Valley. mw

Hi everyone, It's sort of lame to post nothing but bad news, but...no, there aren't going to be any new tracks released for VR. Or a track editor. Sorry. Dave Broske MGI

Then what is the good news, anything? Surely you are not going to let this great sim just die, hell it has too much potiental! Paul

What do you want changed, just wondering? Paul > How about the patch, Dave?

At least you had the decency and courage to post at all, more than can be said for a lot of reps. Thanks AB

The patch is coming along pretty well; I just found some major bugs in multiplayer last night, which will be fixed in the patch. These fixes should make MP a much more solid experience, with less warping and jumping cars -- and fewer spurious disconnects. To me, that's the most exciting thing in the patch. Here's the list of "what's in": BUGS Modem play fixed Multiplayer button "does nothing" fixed Memory leak fixed Garage Div0 fixed Replay: No engine sound fixed Replay: Ensure mousebounds are appropriate for video mode Periodic Multiplayer crash after synchronization fixed Multiplayer Synchronization lockups/disconnects fixed Keepalives and other packet-loss sensitive factors boosted. FEATURES IP address displayed on multiplayer screen Look left/right/back modifiable via options.cfg Airlift modifiable via options.cfg Mirror: FOV improvement, modifiable via options.cfg FOV changed to 60, modifiable via options.cfg Mirror: Appropriately sized to video-mode Teleporting netcars are transparent, making them significantly less hazardous Logitech FF wheel has stronger forces The "setups" fix There has been some confusion about how the save-setup interface works. It's not very clear. Although the interface looks like a file-save dialog, it isn't one. It's actually a "choose save slot" dialog, with the added ability to "name a slot". So, typical operation of the dialog involves choosing a slot (by clicking on one of the rows below the input field) and then typing a name in the input field. Once I explained this process to a few people who reported the setups bug (back when I was soliciting patch features), they seemed to think the process was adequate -- if a little misleading. Let me know if I'm missing the real issue here. Otherwise, some common "patch" feature requests were - Optionally disable "car reset" for *** racers - higher resolution video modes available - Optionally disable hornball in multiplayer - Frame rate counter - More cars - Gear display in replay - Ability to look backwards - Larger rear-view mirror - car editor - track editor - more tracks Dave Broske MGI

Dave, It's nice to know that not everyone is as secretive about forthcoming patches as Papyrus. Jon.
