The MGI team has delivered a patch to Hasbro. Items covered include yellow flags and unruly AI behaivor. No word on how long Hasbro will take to check out the patch before they release it. dave henrie
Too late....we'll see if it's also too little. This is an exaggeration, of course, but "we" have moved on... Marc.

After all the Nascar Heat AI bashing a few months back, it seems a little(LOT) ironic now N4 has turned up and stunned the sin racing community with its lack of perfection and AI problems. But still the N4 zealots shout. "it's better than Nascar Heat !". Me, I play both and love 'em for what they are. Computer games.

Computer games. > I like N4, but it really bugs me when I see N4 fans calling NH arcade and that it looks too cartoonish etc. With a few fixes NH will be a great *sim* and not an arcade game as some suggest.
What bugs me about NH are the problems are endless from poor AI, yellow flags, to no engine in the engine compartment, which lacks realisim when damage occurs, to the games inability to import cars through the menu system. It could of been a really good game. I doubt any patch can address all the problems with this release only a new version would make the corrections nessary. Just my .02
Actually, Marc, YOU may have moved on, but there are a bunch of US who haven't, so the patch is still much-anticipated AND it will be welcomed when it arrives. As far as the "moving on" part, you may find that YOU'RE missing out once the CART Heat and IRL Heat add-ons arrive. Have fun with N4, though! ;-) -- JB F1CS2K Rank Handicap 58.350 http://f1cs2krank.dhs.org/ On Sat, 03 Mar 2001 04:52:17 GMT, "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote:

The problem is, they do nothing. And THAT is wrong.

I have to tell ya tho....I just put it back on...and now that I have a stout processor, I was able to turn on ALL the graphics for the first time....STUNNING. Really. with 2xfsaa and every graphic detail maxed, I got 49.7 in the benchmark....I'm pleased by this as F1cs2k still bogs down my tbird.(800x600 btw) dave henrie "Don Burnette" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%Yjo6.4436$[email hidden]...

Lets not go there!
Assuming the patch ever gets released, I will be one of the first to apply it. I still have NH on my system, and if you read posts here you will know I have been one of the most vocal in pointing out the appalling flaws in the N4 AI and the less serious problems with damage modelling, etc. But despite NH's superior graphics performance (and some would argue looks), it really does pale in comparison to N4 if you want the full racing experience...offline and online. Now if NH had a save game feature, there would be something to argue about and compare. But, at least from my seat on my system, NH is a great effort, but it only beats N4 in one category -- graphics/graphics performance. The "we" moving on was a reference to the N4 post volume here at r.a.s. NH never generated that volume because Hasbro set up their own board and refused to comment here. But let's not get on to the topic of Papy's lack of response here.........! Marc. "John Bodin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
