Is N3 any good?

Tempted latley by N3 but I have no real experience of Nascar racing whatsoever. MGPRS2 & GPL are more my thing but I heard that you can convert the tracks over to GPL (maybe that was N2?). Is it a drivable & accurate sim? Bear in mind that over here in the UK we see & hear very little of Nascar so I don't really know much of the background to it. Basically - can you convert the N3 tracks to GPL, and if this is not the case, is it worth getting anyway? Cheers

If you haven't tried a Nascar sim before, Nascar Racing 3 is probably the best one to begin with. It's quite an improvement over previous versions, especially with support for force feedback. As you're in the UK, try to buy it from somewhere like Electronic Boutiques, as you can return it within 7 (or have they now increase it to 10?) days if you're not satisfied, for any reason. Let us know what you think of it. Pheonix "A fabulous bird, reborn from the ashes of its earlier life"

N3 is the bomb IMO. >On Mon, 20 Dec 1999 14:25:39 -0000, "Colin McSkimming" >>Tempted latley by N3 but I have no real experience of Nascar racing >>whatsoever. MGPRS2 & GPL are more my thing but I heard that you can convert

Boomboom aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggg itts nascar1 with even better graphics.......get n2 on budget (if you dont already have it, and wait for N4 (October) which should have the new (2year old) reality engine we know only as 'the gpl engine' GP3 comes soon, but if you really want to try racing, dont bother getting PC stuff (too expensive anyway except for the diehards), save those coppers and get yourself kart racing, or even better, formula ford, (a few hundred quid a race if you go to the right place...) youll never forget it, and then you can come back here and tell us how unrealistic all sims bar gpl are. pez who doesnt like HAVAS setting the stall at Papyrus and telling them to make a business decision and tart up NASCAR Racing.

ASCAR comes to the rock....(no N) oval racing in the uk on the 1.5 mile rockingham speedway in Notts(i think). All i ask is ' Doesnt it rain in the UK??? pez

Clearly N3 is the best step to try Stock-car racing. I would might suggest you wait for the demo, which will be done someday. Papyrus just wants to put online racing capabilities to it, so it won't happen until the official patch. But at the moment you cannot "yet" convert tracks to GPL. The convertor hasn't been released. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

I was given N3 for Xmas, but at the moment I can only find OVAL tracks. Are there no proper tracks in Nascar racing? If this is the case, then I can't see why anyone would want to convert these tracks for GPL Colin McSkimming <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:83lej1$jhk$[email hidden]... > Tempted latley by N3 but I have no real experience of Nascar racing > whatsoever.

If cars were meant to steer BOTH ways there wouldn't be any stagger. lol j/k. Don't forget, there IS Sears Point and The Glen. Gunner
