n3 will not use the gpl engine

3 posts by 3 people · 16 May 1999 - 16 May 1999

i read this at simracing.com from the e3 show: Two sims using the GPL physics? Nope! Sean said that because of technical issues the GPL physics won't be a part of the Legends sim, nor will they be in the release of N3. That's right folks. The long awaited sequel to N2 WON'T be using the physics engine form Grand Prix Legends! Sean explained that the GPL physics never worked properly for N3, and that Papyrus didn't have enough time to get it right and have it released on time (N3 is already several months behind schedule). This was disappointing news! Do the people at Sierra realize what many are expecting of N3 - namely that it will incorporate the GPL physics? Man, I was starting to get some really bad feelings about all this. Sean also mentioned that LoN would not be interchangeable with N3, but this could mean either two things: 1) that N3 and LoN are simply separate products, but sharing similar internal structures, or 2) the two sims are coded differently; enough so that anyone wanting to interchange the two would have a tough time doing so.

Go back a thread or two and read the E3 recap at Simracing.com Then you'll probably feel differently. dave henrie
