NASCAR Legends Simply N3 in Old Clothes?

7 posts by 5 people · 31 Oct 1999 - 01 Nov 1999

To those who have both sims, I was wondering if you'd give thoughts about whether NASCAR Legends has it's own "feel", or if it's just N3 with a different look. Is there enough difference between the two to say that they're different sims? Jerry Morelock

Absolutely a different feel. I can feel the longer wheelbase, the cars are more resistant to sharp turns. I can feel the gobs of torque, I can powerslide out of a turn. I can feel the increased weight of the cars, directional changes require more input. Gas hogs ,bigtime. Tire killers, bigtime. Same sim, different look, different feel.

Absolutely.....I ran a full race at Atlanta last night in NL, and I really had to drive trough the corners with the throttle alot.....was great, I was fighting for the win with Buddy "The Fastest Man Alive" Baker and Dave "Mr. Wingtip" Marcis when I got caught up in a multi-car crash on the back stretch.....I wanted to cry when I saw what was left of my prettly little Plymouth......

Seems very different to me. I noticed that the cars are alot harder on tires and feel alot looser. They also have a terrible understeer (I also stink at setting up the car!). They do seem heavy. I find it harder to drive than N3. It is a very cool game and a must have for a sim buff. Only down side I see is when running with the super-birds the fps take a bit of a hit. I guess the big wing eats up the ram................. >To those who have both sims, I was wondering if you'd give thoughts about >whether NASCAR Legends has it's own "feel", or if it's just N3 with a >different look.
