But maybe I'd just been expecting too much.

I ended up turning down the overal strenght setting in the MOMO properties
to about 40% and added 30% centering spring. In the game I have the strength
setting to between 25% and 30% and the sensitivity setting one notch from
the left. Set up this way even the Abarth doesn't oscillate it's way out of
control anymore. -Well, not often, that is... <g>.
That said, the physics are easily tripped up but it's good fun to drive the
stages.

What do you expect for (your local equivalent of) $35cdn? The better it
is, the less likely you are to get board/frustrated and buy another game.
Papy's not getting rich from your continued enjoyment of GPL.

Define 'better' in that context?
That is, indeed, the sad reality. But I keep telling Papy I'd pay 200
for a high definition GPL2 type sim.
Flight sims have expensive niche products.

This TRANSFORMED the game for me.

What 'league friendly features' did you have in mind, just out of
interest?

It's a chicken-and-egg problem. I would NEVER pay $500 (or even $150)
up-front for a game (sim) unless it had a proven track record and great
reviews from people I trust. In other words, most of RAS would have to be
raving about it. Problem is, most people probably feel similarly, so who
would be the guinea pigs?
If the game could somehow *guarantee* to satisfy my "race driver wannabe"
urges like GPL does, then I would be willing to pay $500 for it.
In the meantime I don't begrudge $50 here or there for games that don't do
it for me. Hopefully one day the game will come along that does. In the end
I'll spend more than $500, but it's not so noticeable in those little
increments.

text reports from the race that can be used to both verify placings and
keep track of points. I'm kinda disappointed in F1 2001 in this respect, I
seem to remember even F1 cs 2k kept better track of the fast laps and such.
2001 only has the end-of-the-race announcer state which driver had the fast
lap...
I would like a saveable screen that league members can use, and
administrators can grab results from(i.e. some sort of text file.)
A real stretch would be some ontrack(in-car) device that would allow a
race official to throw a yellow and the sim recognize that and display
whatever flag system it has.
Racing online benefits from a track position indicator like in most of the
Papyrus products...most sims do keep track of posistions in the race not
actual location on the track...doesn't do a backmarker anygood to see driver
XX is 20 seconds back but if the leader has already lapped driver XX the
backmarker might not be aware a fast mover is coming up quickly.
How's that for starters?
