N4 Wish List Items

1. Better sound, If you have ever stood beside a Winston Cup car and heard it run, you know what I mean, it will make your spine tingle when they rev up. I live in Alabama and have been to a few races at dega and lucky enough to get to go though the pits and stand beside the cars and drivers. 2. Clutch, Like GPL would love to be able to keep the thing reved up in the pits or when spinning. 3. Hand signals, would love in mulitplayer to see some hand signals. The movie looks great, maybe by some chance they will get it out at least a little early, keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks

4. Split times - I'd love to know if I really did nail turns 1 and 2 at Indy without having to possibly taint the results of the lap going through 3 and 4. -- Claff Parsimonious Racing #93 BNSracing.com Chevrolet Monte Carlo http://www.bnsracing.com/motorsports

How about having the race start from the pits and you have to literally drive to your position for the pace lap (do they announce the racer's name, number, or team?). I imagine that's how it really starts (I've never attended a NASCAR race). Of course I have never played N3, so I do not know if N3 starts this way, or the game dumps you already in position with the pace lap already started. It can be quite tedious, but if the drivers do it, so should we. :) BTW, is the pace car in N3 indestructible? I don't think I managed to thrash the p.c. at all in ICR2.

One can also (hopefully) use the dedicated server on his/her private network to provide three other computers the information to serve as the driver's left, right, and gearbox camera view. I just hope Papy/Sierra is not gonna force us to buy separate CD(s) for use on the dedicated server and on computers intended strictly for camera viewing. GM

Spygirl?!?! could it be adapted for N4? Or any of the other great utilities many people have made for GPL Md "Alan J. Claffie" wrote:

Actually the dedicated server would be completely text only. So the graphics wouldn't be all that great :P BTW I do also hope that a Linux host for online gaming would be a free download. It would make the game very popular to play online and easy to run a host.

This is where a Ghost car during practice would be Awesome. Nascar Heat will have one, I sure hope N4 does also "Alan J.

When I play Q3 and connect onto a dedicated Linux server, do I play Q3 in text? No. The server exists to provide clients the data of the game objects currently participating. If as a dedicated server, it can also be used to offload processing of data which otherwise could have put a lot of strain on one that acted as both a client and a server. For example playing on a machine with 20+ bots (Q3A) severely taxes the framerate, but a dedicated server could be handling the 20+ bots, offloading all of that stress from the player who is on the other machine. Maybe Papy should do this. A dedicated server on a private network can do all or most of the AI, while the player/client only has to worry about the rendering, and maybe the network connection if not on a LAN. Maybe then there would be not much of a problem of trying to play against 32 AI players on a single player race. I think I may have rambled off a bit. :) GM
