Daytona Farce

isn't it a bit pathetic that the Daytona track can't be made available on the web. For goodness sake! You need the friggin' Papyrus N3 to make it work anyway! What have they (Papyrus) to lose? Surely the prospect of a new track (especially the big "D") would tempt a few thousand more people to buy N3? I have NR99 which I admit I enjoy. I havn't upgraded to N3 because I don't really see any real benefit I would enjoy by doing so. Maybe if the prospect of racing at a legendary tri- oval in Florida was handed to me I might fork out the bucks for N3. Sadly i don't think any more papyrus titles will be finding there way onto my HD while this attitude persists and I wish good luck to anyone who makes the Daytona track available!!

You just dont get it, do you. International Speedway Corp., the owners of Daytona Speedway (and others), contracted Papy to make a Daytona only Demo. Papy fulfilled their contract. ISC owns both virtual and real Daytona speedways. Papy is out of the loop once they produced the track and demo. Dont *** at Papy. *** at ISC. -- Kenny L. kenny_l AT pacbell DOT net *

That sold me, not to mention the awesome graphics, better physics, and, OH YEA-- INDY!!!!!!!! DOH!!!!!!! (and now Daytona!) :) My copy of N99 hit the trash can as soon as I installed N3.

Well I don't really care who's fault it is. Whoever is responsible doesn't matter, the whole thing seems very underhanded and downright dodgy! >-- >Kenny L. >kenny_l AT pacbell DOT net >* message >> isn't it a bit pathetic that the Daytona track can't be made >> available on the web.

The purpose of Usenet is for people of similar interests to share their views about the topic at hand - be it complaint, praise, statement or even fiction. THAT said, I'm pretty damn tired of all these people complaining about how this is all PAPY's fault. You can be rest assured, that if it were possible for Sierra to ONE CENT out of this, they'd make DAMN sure they got their penny!!! That said, it doesn't do any good to *** HERE about the situation, since we have virtually NO financial "pull" with ISC. Complain via direct mail to THEM. FLOOD them with mail stating that you believe that they should allow a license for this track to be either freely distributed (yeah, right) or added in a "track pack." We're all free to express our opinions - even when others don't SHARE that opinion - but you REALLY should complain to the parties most likely to be able to ALTER the situation: ISC, not Papy.

Let me guess... Multi-million dollar law-suit by ISC!!! <VBG> -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

Exactly. I hoped that people on r.a.s. had a clue of the business, but it seems we have a lot of work to do collectively! The last thing people should do is to blame Papyrus. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

...right after you copied Pocono to your N3 tracks folder? :-) Do you still have your N99? Is it posted on E-bay yet :-)? One thing that's become clear - people will pay $20 for one track (Daytona in the promo CD), and, what, $20 for a brand new but outdated game to get the remaining track (Pocono), to complete their N3 Cup season. So if you add N3 plus these tracks plus tax/shipping - around $100. So anyone take a guess what they'll charge for N4, especially if it has a complete season and "updated physics"? $69.99? P.S. you're a joystick racer, right? What's your favorite stick(s)? Have you seen this new Gravis Xterminator stick/proportional 8-way combo? Looks cool and I like their keymapping software (I have an original Xterminator). -- Doug Appleyard "Bound to cover just a little more ground" Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
