Doesn't do much good to order from Sierra directly either. I called them up a couple weeks back and asked if they "physically" had the cards available for shipping. They said yes, immediate shipping. So, last weekend we ordered 3 of the cards together, and get told 3-5 days even though we are paying for 2nd day delivery. I guess it takes Sierra 3 days to find the boxes, huh? Anyway, typical of Sierra nowadays, the cards did NOT come in 5 days. We called to inquire about the order and they say that they will "START shipping" Dec 10. So, now it will be Dec 12 or 13th before we will find out if Sierra is lying again. If they don't come, I will have totally lost faith in SIERRA as well as mail-order buying. If I can't feel something in my own hands, I have to believe it doesn't exist. Having written a setting file editor for NASCAR that has been well received, I almost feel obligated to get NASCAR2 to write a new version, but I refuse to buy it until I hear fewer bugs in the program. Even then, I'll probably wait until there are so many on the shelf the the price will drop. I'll probably wait until April like for NASCAR1. I bought it the day it hit the streets in November, returned it within a week, tried it when the first bug patch came out in Feb(??) or so, returned it again, waited until April for 2nd patch and it was useable, but frame rates were un-acceptable with a PC that was about 20% over the recommended for SVGA by Papyrus. All I can say now is, those cards better come, or I'll go out and buy a better card from someone else. (If it takes 2-3 weeks for the cards to come I'll have the money for a better one.)

If you're frustrated with Sierra, why not get an Intergraph Reactor? Why spend $50 more (until Dec. 31), wait until who knows when to get it (Intergraph can deliver within 18 hours for $9), and then suffer through Sierra's tech support (this is brand new hardware, and you *will* need them at some point)? The games bundle may be better with Screamin' 3D, but all us sim-racers need is ICR2-3D, right? ;) http://www.intergraph.com/ics/reactor Pick one or more: Model Rockets (competition-NERCB) / PCs (even Atari!) / Papyrus ICR-ICR2-NCR / Who needs a life when you have multiple non-lives?
