Over the last few days I have been mucking about with Viper
Racing Demo.
Despite it doesn't give the feeling of the "Race Track"
environment or
the feeling of "Race Day", nor does it have the racing depth
it certainly
offers a lot to the sim racer.
In particular I have to say the physics engine is one that is
a top
contender in the sim world. It seems right, the car drives
right.
SO whats my point?
I tend to be a loyal/bias fan of Papyrus sims BUT I am sick of
the Nascar 2
out of date physics SO.........
Papyrus, buy MGI's Viper physics and swap it for the N2 one
you intend to stick into the next Nascar title. You can then
go beyond that with the GPL physics Nascar 4 in
the-future-somewhere title.
At the end of the day if a new improved physics is in the next
Nascar,
you'll see my dollar. But if it's the same tired old N2
physics ma money stays in ma wallet

I agree with you about the "Outdated NASCAR Physicis Engine" but I
really don't give a ***what or whos physicis engine they use for any
upcoming NASCAR sim just so it realistically/accurately models the way a
Winston Cup car drives/handles. Paul

Paul, I agree for the most part with your point. Outdated or
not, if it's tweaked enough to be MORE realistic, it'll be worth it.
Hell the 43-car field and free internet play will make it worth it!
Now, if they throw in pit position based on qualification, then I'm
pretty much SET!
