Hopefully EA will release some "misson packs" on their site, in addition to new cars. Alternately, I wouldn't be opposed to paying $10 or so for a "mission pack" add-on, especially if it included MORE cars (the 917 comes to mind as one that I wouldn't mind paying for, especially if it came with additional Factory Driver missions, in fact). Hope EA is listening! -- JB P.S. Too bad about Purdue in the NCAA finals, JP. :-( (FWIW, I'm located in the Hoosier state, too -- down Indy way!)

First off, do the factory driver! You gain valuable experience, and an even better car. All I can say is that the car is worth it alone. It just looks awesome. Second, does anybody know where I can download the other cars (959, GT2, GT3, etc.)? -Pav

I agree about the Factory Driver, I love it! I've completely given up on the Evolution lately, I'm having so much fun with Factory Driver. As to where to get the cars, they'll be on the game's own official site, www.needforspeed.com, and follow the links to Porsche. They aren't up yet, but they should start soon. I would imagine that they will go up every month or so, one at a time, but since it already says that they will be available right in the game, they might put them all up pretty soon. I doubt it, but we can hope :) Marc

The only problem is that Factory Driver has to end. Now that it's over, I find myself wanting more. The odd thing was, byt the time I got to the end, the final race seemed pretty easy. Guess I improved. -Pav Marc Goldstein <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:W3AE4.4289$[email hidden]... > I agree about the Factory Driver, I love it!

I've just made it to Chief Test Driver, took the GT1 around the skidpad and now am taking the Carrera through Zone Industrielle. Is there much left? I fear there isn't. Oh well, it should be fun to start it all over again. Marc

There's 4 or 5 left I believe. The most difficult one is when you have to do the Porsche commercial. After that is the GT1 race. -Pav Marc Goldstein <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ObBE4.5006$[email hidden]... > I've just made it to Chief Test Driver, took the GT1 around the skidpadand > now am taking the Carrera through Zone Industrielle.

Yes, it is almost over. I am like you however, last night I decided to delete my driver and start over, just so I can do the Factory Driver again :) Marc Goldstein <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ObBE4.5006$[email hidden]... > I've just made it to Chief Test Driver, took the GT1 around the skidpadand > now am taking the Carrera through Zone Industrielle.

I have completed Factory driver, and almost evolution. And today I finally got my "legal" copy in the mail. Looks like an reinstallation is in order :) -- [asbjxrn] [lLd25z*%ds1-100/sLlSdI%ds2-O/sSl1l2*PlL0<l]sl 21172310731916131628237117 3237142523312SSSLllxq

Ok, this is starting to sound pretty interesting How are the crashes - still same hot wheels wrecks as the other NFS's or is there some bent metal and broken glass and fire and flying debris and and.... ok, I'll stop..... Where's there a demo....?
Eric Gorka 30 Mar 2000 20:29 UTC#282558
Is it just me- or do you guys hate the 'deliver this car without scratches' missions? :) I wish there were less of these, and more slalom courses, etc. Overall- awesome game and game mode.

John Pavlicek 30 Mar 2000 20:42 UTC#282563
I don't mind these at all, they give a better chance to learn a course than the short slaloms. I just wish there were more GT1 courses at the end, that is one fun car to drive, but at least I got a new 996 out of it. -Pav Eric Gorka <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:GOOE4.3846$[email hidden]... > Is it just me- or do you guys hate the 'deliver this car withoutscratches'

I have a friend with a PII-300 and a 16Mb Voodoo II. Will he be able to tune the detail level enough to have some fun with this? Stephen

Just picked NFS PU today, seems fun but it looks like you can connect to their servers. I signed up and tried to connect but I get a message that theres an upgrade, but it won't upgrade. Any ideas.
