I am loving it. I just ordered NSR because it works with the Vector
Expansion. Hope the game runs on my PC! Can't wait!

Thanks,

You'll have to tell us whether you can stick your head out of the
window. :P

I'm contemplating the vector expansion but it isn't supported in the
game I use it with most, IL2. Would be handy too, especially in
cockpits that have a lot of obstructions and it's hiding the location
of your target!

Cheers,
Rod.

Hi Don,

NSR is NASCAR SimRacing, the latest NASCAR game from EA. You can get a demo
of it at 3dgamers:
http://www.3dgamers.com/games/nascarsimracing/

It was developed by Tiburon using the ISI engine. Also, there were several
people from Papyrus and also from ISI involved in the development.

It's getting mixed reviews and there are a lot of us hoping for a patch
which apparently is being promised and currently worked on.

There's another sim that getting pretty universal praise that's coming out
soon - GTR. It also supports TrackIR and the international release on March
11 is supposed to include the vector expansion.

It looks like the "international" release is not going to include the US, so
we'll probably have to get it thru an import.

Thanks Bill.

Due to my love for flight simming right now, particularly helo and WWII, I
have not done any racing sims in quite a while. Now that the new season is
here , may have to at least get some offline racing time going again soon.

Sure would! I haven't tried it yet with IL-2 or Pacific Fighters,
only MSFS2004 and it's pretty neat.

It really added immersion and enhanced my IL2/ Pacific Figthers experience.
No way could I fly without it now. Only reason I have not added the Vector
yet is because PF will not have support for it, however i did just purchase
MSFS 2004, and with BOB on the horizon, I will be ordering the Vector
expansion very soon.
