N2003 Updates for 2005?

Hey, I've been away from sim racing for awhile (job, kids, etc.) but would like to know if any 2005 carsets, track updates, or sound packs are in the works for N2003 for the coming season? Thanks, -Brian Mc

Thanks, -Brian Mc > I've seen them working on the 2005 Dodge Charger Template(the Intrepid replacement) so I think you can rest assured there will be 2005 cars. Your first move might be to track down the 2004 track update, that changes everything over to updated graphics and Nextel signage. I believe Blackhole Motorsports had a link to it. THen you can concentrate on 2005 cars as they become available. dave henrie

This is the website that is currently working on the updates, in fact the final version for the 2004 update is complete. With updated graphics and track surfaces (Dover looks killer) along with an AI update that is so close to real. http://www.superspeedway.net/ They are some how connected or affiliated with Hendrick Motor Sports If you have questions the forum there is full of answers Dave Henrie wrote:

I also found this there in the forum. Sounds like a great thing and the price is right. Inside Information of the December 15th Update http://www.hendrickonlineracing.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=SS.net;action=display;num=1101617756

I downloaded the update and it looks great. I did try to join 2 on line races and got a window saying that I couldn't because the graphics had been altered. I was kind of surprised to see that (not sure why anyone would care), but the majority of servers let me in without a problem. Russell

If you are trying to get on to an expansion track and do not have the correct one in your folder you will get that message. find out which track is loaded onto the server then load the same track into your track folder. There are so many variations of the same track you need to be sure you have the same one. as far as the 2004 update only updates the original track on the cd to the 2004 standards. Also on the http://www.superspeedway.net web site the original tracks and some *.ini files are stored. Did you see the Dover Track yet Russell looks awsome Tony Russell wrote:

I got to race at Dover and with the updated graphics it did look very cool. I thought the races I was trying to join were the standard ones (based on their names,) but maybe they were variations. Russell Racedog1 wrote:

Anyone know if the update is available on CD rom? It's a 21 hour download on dialup, and even if I wanted to tie my computer up that long, my phone lines aren't very stable, and I doubt I could complete the download. I'd gladly pay a few bucks to get it on a disc. George Adams "All good fishermen stay young until they die, for fishing is the only dream of youth that doth not grow stale with age." ---- J.W Muller

Thanks! I also heard about the 2004 carset from the Racing Groove. Maybe my eyes are bad but I couldn't find a link to a carset on their site, only the individual cars. Is it possible to download all the cars all at once or do you have to do them individually? Thx, -B "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Until a couple days ago it was in the downloads section - near the bottom in the NR2003 Mods Area - at www.raceservers.net. It ain't there now. Tom Harrington "Charles Brennan" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:vowwe.15969$fM6.11607@trndny04...

Does anyone know of a track mod for N2003 that has hills? I was thinking, even though NASCAR stock cars aren't designed for hilly tracks, it would be a blast to fly over some hills and get airborn, like in NFS. SG

On a similar note, I'm looking for the Nascar 2003 patch. The last one Sierra did that opens the graphics engine API.
