Hey all- Is there a way to run CART Racing with a 3dfx card the same way as N2? Just got my card in last night, and is there some patch to download like in N2? Oh, and should I install a fan, since I've heard about the 3d cards overheating. Of so, how big of a fan? It's a Maxi Gamer Phoenix Voodoo Banshee 16mb card. It was really cheap ($89), so I decided it's time, and have been very impressed, especially with GPL graphics :) Thanks in advance -Joel Likness

Cart in the ICR2 box came out BEFORE any real 3d cards were on the market. As such, it was kinda a miracle it was one of the first products patched for 3d.(right up there with the original Tomb Raider) However it was patched in house by Rendition Programmers, not by Papyrus and as such they took the code, said thanks very much, and never went any further with it. It was good training, however, for N2 and GPL. don't expect anything 3dfx for a Papyrus Cart product unless they finally get N3 out the door and restart the CARt sim based on the GPL engine. dave henrie >Hey all- > Is there a way to run CART Racing with a 3dfx card the same way as >N2?

CART from Papyrus? No. If you mean MS CART Precision Racing then the answer is 'yes'. Alan http://www.kiva.net/~akh/simshop.html
