Guess it's even at the moment-actually, I love Monza but my favourites are
Monaco & Hungary - c'mom-where can I get a beta copy of THE game of 98, or at
least the track files for the demo? I've looked 'warez' way but got really fed
up with the pop up screens and seem to be going around in circles! Don't
worry-the game is high on my MUST BUY list but let's start practising now, eh?
Pretty easy...
Sierra Sports starts shipping it this Wednesday (yes that's in _3_ days).
Your about sure to get it for Friday, and actually letting you the whole
weekend to enjoy this creation of God ;-D

I am "worse than yourself." Frankly, I practiced Watkins Glen
again and again, trying to break 1:20. I finally got 1:18:92,
but that other guy posted that his time was 9 seconds faster!
I just can't figure out where I'm losing 9 seconds.
Do you think using an on/off button for brakes is bad? I would
never use a button for throttle, so maybe it is.

btw. I've only tried the Glen but i'm on 1:09ish I think. Like the man
says 'lap after lap' - now thats hard.

Just ordered it from my state side relatives-previous games got here in 4
days-and cheaper too - CPR for $22 2 months before UK release - sorry, but I'm
not taking the chance of another 'delay' with notoriously unreliable UK release
dates-what are the US release schedules like for accuracy?
I've also found the car settles much easier once I turn into the
corner if I'm on the gas. In my early laps I was braking, turning in,
and getting back on the gas. Too often I'd lose her. With that getting
back on the gas pedal after I've finished braking I can control the
slide so much easier.
This is also the first game I've really noticed the difference of
switching my CDS from their (previously) usual link pedal position, to
switched pedal axis, where both the accelerator and brake are on a
different joystick axis. Input from both simultaneously. It's not
something I can describe - I just felt it when I started using it and
thought it was making a good difference.
Another improvement came from setting fully linear steering. On the
long straight before the crest of the hill at the Glen, and on the
long straights of Monza I was finding that getting myself over to the
appropriate edge of the circuit was quite hard, as I had to steer
quite a bit more than I really wanted to if I slipped onto the grass
or wanted to fine tune my position. In the default 50% position, I had
to steer more for tiny course adjustments. WIth fully linear it's so
much twitchier, but also more precise for it. Given that my CDS wheel
is super smooth all the way through it's travel this really is
worthwhile.
