I know this to be a very subjective request, but what is the (subjective
best) F1 simulator out today? I have a PIII 600eb, 256MB and a geforce256
card. I love GPL but am looking for a current F1 sim with awesome physics
and fantastic graphics. I prefer simulation driving over arcade driving and
love the ability to 'tweak' a car to suit my driving style.
If this request has been posted before, I missed it and apologize for the
double post.
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy
Check out the demo and see for yourself:
http://www.3dfiles.com/games/f1championshipseason2000.shtml
There is a TON of third-party support for F1CS2K, including a CART
conversion and a Trans Am conversion, and also an advanced physics
patch that I put together that really makes the physics come alive
(you can find that at the Blackhole Motorsports site, and I believe it
works fine with the demo).
The High Gear forum has a VERY active F1CS2K community, and there are
lots of helpful people there:
http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~hg/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=23
There is also an F1CS2K Rank site, much like the GPLRank:
http://f1cs2krank.dhs.org/
And also an active offline competition as well:
http://hem.spray.se/redeby/f1/offline.htm
Of the three current modern F1 sims, F1CS2K wins hands-down as far as
I'm concerned.
Enjoy!

Enter DGF, stage left.

Well, there is no debate on that matter. GP3 is still king IMHO.
/Blackhawk
None qualify IMHO. Sorry :)

As I said, though, watch for F1 2001 to raise the bar on all counts.
:-D

as others have said there are three very close contenders, but if you
have a force feedback wheel and want to take advantage of it, GP3 is the
only one to have.

GP3 has a lot going for it, but the graphics are dated, and the driving
model seems too forgiving compared to F12000 and F1RC.
I was one of the first here at r.a.s. to say F12000 was excellent. It does
many things well, but after F1RC, it doesn't hold up anymore. F12001 by EA
may be something special. In the meantime, F1RC is the way to go.

Anyway, Jeremy, it's really a matter of taste. Why don't you download the
demos and see what you like. But I have to tell you, the F1RC-demo DOES HIDE
its no-aids behaviour. Guess why ?
