Something Wrong Here (Daytona for attendees but not loyal players)

So, Papy can give the track away to people who may or may not have an interested in computer racing but have the time and money to get to Daytona BUT the loyal racers who have shelled out for ump*** versions of Nascar racing can't have the only track that most care about in Nascar. Is this a great country or what? I wonder how many of those CDs will get used for beer coasters or attempted to be played in pickup truck CD players...

You apparently don't understand. It appears that Daytona payed Papy to make a demo for THEM. What they do with it is up to them, NOT Papy. Your beef is NOT with Papy, it's with Daytona.

Kudos to you! You took the words right out of my mouth! It all comes down to one thing, MONEY. Think Sierra gives a shit about us? Not likely unless you have a sawbuck in your pocket. People make me sick on the message board at Sierra "thanks for all your hard work you guys are great". How bout them thanking me for all the money have spent on their games! I once put up a post here saying what kind of game I would like to see next and people were actually telling me I should be thanking Sierra. Really? Hmmm, yes thank the guy in the white hen next time he sells you milk. Say "thanks for taking my money" "I owe you one for letting me buy my milk here". We need some customer service from them. They do have some great employees but they need to learn a lesson on how to treat customers. On an unrelated note I spoke to Sierra customer service today and they said the N3 truck pack will be out in late April. I also gave them shit for not having enough info on the site about it.

Hah, I got you one up (all those plus Indy 500: The Simulation and the N2 Busch Addon pack) Where's my Daytona!!! hehehe.......(just kidding, but not if you want to email it to me) -Jeff

I don't suppose you would be willing to point us in the right direction on where to download the new Daytona, would you?

My all.cal just has 1 02 20 1 0 DAYTONA Daytona_500 Daytona_500 event1.tga biglogo1.tga How do I correct it for laps?? :0/ If you mean Daytona.txt in the track folder...like I said "The txt file has it set for 200, but still I can only run 3 (and 2 were under caution for backmarkers!)".

jeffery, What planet to you live on ? How can you say that !! Papyrus didn't decide to Daytona and then only release it at the Daytona speedweeks, it was DIS. Payrus simply did the track under contract. Rest assured, Daytona will be all over the net within days. But it only works with the demo, so someone will have to work out a patch, then post it.
