Not officially no ;( There are still rumours, but nothing has been confirmed so far... -- Kenneth Verburg Webmaster/Editor-in-chief High Gear http://www.simracingnews.com

What is Papy actually working on, right now? AFAIK there are no announced releases anymore..... Harald

Harald, The Happy99.exe virus has come with your post. Maybe you should do something about it :) -- Kenneth Verburg Webmaster/Editor-in-chief High Gear http://www.simracingnews.com

Harald, From my understanding, Papyrus went to work on Nascar Racing 4 after the release of NASCAR Legends. Scott PA-Scott -- Scott B. Husted ICQ# 4395450

Are you kidding? we might actually get N4 soon? And if so what kind of system do we need to run it? -- Kevin Anderson --------------------------------------------------- DK-Racing #15 K_Anderson ------------------------------------------------- http://www.awtech.net/ http://www.nascar-3.com/

Does it matter _ I'd have thaught you'd realise that whatever ***they produce for N4, they'll say it'll be available on a particular day, then 6 months later, a bug ridden pile of shit will be squeezed out the back-side of what's left to *** from Nascar racing on the PC. Frankly, I see their quotes on their website "the best nascar sim for the Pc" then YELL.."IT'S THE ONLY NASCAR SIM FOR THE PC" Why doesn't papy USE IT ***Y HEAD and either sell the GPL physcis engine, or DAMN WELL USE IT.

Done! My apologies to all here. I found the solution here: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q221/4/86.ASP

Apparently NASCAR4 will use the new physics engine (as used in GPL but not the same cause it models a different car :) ) -- Ian Parker UKGPL League http://members.xoom.com/ukgpl/index.html http://www.ukgpl.com --

Is anyone else sick of papy shafting the people who bought their original indycar titles, thus helping the company stay in business? Jeez, im glad Nascar sells for you, but how about giving something back to the faithful who have been waiting for a CART2/ICR3 title for years. How about it papy? Brian Fox

Yep, but a Nascar 4 with a decent physics engine is better than nothing, I'd love an open wheeled sim with the new engine although I cant see that happening anytime soon :( -- Ian Parker UKGPL League http://members.xoom.com/ukgpl/index.html http://www.ukgpl.com -- > Is anyone else sick of papy shafting the people who bought their original > indycar titles, thus helping the company stay in business?

With the exception of a modern GPL physics based F1 sim, CART is definitely next on the wishlist. I hope Papyrus still read these messages. Hopefully something will get through. Mike.

There won't be a CART sim from Papyrus based on the GPL engine! /whisper mode on Maybe that works? Now somebody will tell me I'm wrong, for sure! ;^) /whisper mode off l8er ronny -- The box said "Windows 95 or better", so I installed LINUX! |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Hi Ron, You seem pretty certain. Did you get this information from Papyrus? Mike.

> > NO! There won't be a CART sim from Papyrus based on the GPL engine! > Hi Ron, > You seem pretty certain. Did you get this information from Papyrus? Did you miss that part of my post: Sorry, Mike, it was just a joke! Nobody outside Papy (Sierra) has any information about a new CART sim from them. I was just speculating, somebody in the know would jump the gun and scream: "Hey, wait a minute, there WILL be a new CART sim!!... ...oops! I shouldn't talk about that!" ;^) l8er ronny -- "I heard if you play the NT-4.0-CD backwards, you get a satanic message." "That's nothing, if you play it forward, it installs NT-4.0"

Phew :-) There is still hope! Mike.
