Ok time for my say. Been busy with my Strat Baseball League. AS I emailed before. I would like to see at least one track being clay this being a half or quarter mile. This can be a add on later. I payed for Raceway couple times over and wish to see at least a running 1.0 version of the game. I understand Tom's not wanting a Track editor. The quesiton is out there now to see what we like for tracks. That's fair enough.
Tom looks to be wanting to start Raceway on a good track by programming with the latest tools. Smiles, not like his other game titles having a overhaul. This is good news to those with newer O/S. Weather Conditions: For version 1.0 I say is not a big concern. Since most raceing events are done in the summer, bad wather only happens rarly. Other versions of the game could then have an option to turn on weather conditions. This will help to get the game out faster. Field Size: AS a reminder to what I posted before. Track size will determine size of the field of number of cars in a race. To, get the game out faster I susgest that the Tracks should be near the same size. Laster on smaller tracks like half and quarter miles can be added. A race on a super sppedway has around 43 cars. To brinup the point up again with that at most the player will hear at most four cars.. Seeing a field this large will make Raceway a truer Raceway sim. If SAPPY is used to annouce certain things like drivers names and car numbers, I suggest a editor for these items. This way if one wishes to put in real names and car numbers of Nascar drivers they can on there own. This could include also sponsors. To even make the Nascar drivers race true to form is have certain varibles dictate how well a racer perform during a season. This is getting into more of a replay. type of game but it would be fun to race aginst Jeff Gordon. To finsh up with this email so it won't be too long. I will bring up this subject matter in my text post to this thread and describe the possible varibles needed.
