I have N2 and the addon tracks for it. Is it worth upgrading to N99? If it is, why? TIA ======================================= "Forget 911.....I dial .357 "Trespassers will be shot.Survivors will be shot again." =======================================

This one's been answered a dozen times, but I think it still deserves an answer. YES *IF*: you want trucks without using a patch; OR you have a 3Dfx card (yeah, I know there's a patch, but it's a better implementation in NR99); OR you wanna race in a lot of offline leagues; OR you're unhappy with your current AI drivers; OR you want double-file restarts; OR you think you can get $15-20 for your Nascar2; OR you're being limited by the number of tracks available (n2 was 32, NR99 is 64). Personally I like NR99. I had NR2 and Nas50th, but got the rebate for NR99 so it was free. Then sold N2 for $12. Still have Nas50th to put all the patches on (my offline league doesn't allow some of the patches). "Gunner" ORSA Bronze #78 Navy Dodge truck

I didn't have the addon pack, but IMHO, it is worth it. The graphics are improved (marginally, but improved), and you can drive the Craftsman Trucks (although they just released that for $20....) Of course, I sent in for that rebate.... -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 >I have N2 and the addon tracks for it. Is it worth upgrading to N99?

So when is N99 coming out in the UK? Also where can we get the Busch add on packs for N2. I say this only because I want these extra tracks for GPL. Cheers, Paul

The problem I have with the CTS "addon" is that it's NOT an addon - it's a standalone product. There goes another, what, 40MB of disk space? They SHOULD've made it an addon. What ALSO bugs me about it is that Sierra CONTINUALLY DENIED they were going to make the trucks seperately. "Gunner" ORSA Bronze #78 Navy Dodge truck
