Release notes 20.April 2003

"Popup-free" landscape 
======================
Great care has been taken to avoid popups. When using cockpit- or chase near view 
you should not see terrain and objects building up in the distance while driving on 
the normal racing line. 

2 versions
==========
The track is released in two versions: 
* Moose Challenge	(MC)
* Elk Fun		(EF)
In MC, texture grip is set to various levels, 
i.e. gravel will be quite slippery and mud even more. 
The track layout requires you to make a full lap on the oval before leaving the speedway toward checkpoint 8.  
EF is the slightly easier version, with all textures set to hi-grip and no full oval lap. 
Otherwise, MC and EF are identical. 

Which version is best for me?
=============================
Judging from the discussions during the beta testing, this seems largely a matter of individual preferences. 
This being said, if you are using a digital controller, you will most likely prefer EF. 
If you enjoy racing the AI computer trucks, the AI is a lot more competitive in EF. 
If you are using a force-feedback wheel, you should absolutely at least try MC: you might like it.  
To help you getting the feel for sliding around the oval, I have included a pure oval race in the MC version. The AI is not competitive but you can look at your lap times. 

What is that weird ground box in the lake?
==========================================
This is not a mistake. Such a thing actually existed. For the Swiss national exhibition 2002 a rusty cube called the "monolith" of the size of a 4 floor building, 
was placed into a beautyful lake.
It has been removed, but you can see pics here http://www.picswiss.ch/NE-L04.html
