Decisions, decisions.  All 3 of these are looking to be great but I
can't get all 3.

GTR is out now and I'm tempted to get it cause I'd really like a new
racer to add to RBR but the racing in that game is very specific and has
high end 'on the edge' cars.

Any word on when rFactor or S2 might be out for purchase?

If you want the absolute best racer out there right now then it is GT4
without question.

Well, I do have a PS2 but I'm a bit pissed off at GT4 right now cause
they specifically programed the game to NOT allow the PC Momo wheel to work.

I'll just have to wait for a real racer.

Yeah, if GT4 supported a momo I'd buy it but I think I'll give it a miss.
It still seems to suffer from all the problems of the previous games in the
series anyway

Really flightless? That doesn't seem to be what you have been saying.
Let's review:

1. "You want an apology from EA for producing the finest Nascar
simulaton
to date?" - Feb 19

2. "...for producing the finest, all encompassing and most
comprehensive
NASCAR racing simulation to date." - Feb 22

Now, admittedly your comments were in regard to NSR. However, your use
of superlatives (absolute best & without question) leave little room to
wiggle. So, is it NSR or GT4?

Without question?  I don't think so.

Ooops! I missed this gem from our resident expert:

"There is simply no comparison, EA's new title sets the standard in
every area imaginable and is the new definitive Nascar simulation.

Go and read some of the 90%+ reviews which are overflowing with
praise." - Feb 21

How come you pick the WORST Sims to tout as the best thing on the planet?

They really don't need your help :)

Flightless seems to have never experienced Papy's 2 year old NR2003 and
it's many mods. Even at 2 years old it's very hard to beat with all the
after market development and continuing community involvement. NSR is a
toy compared to it.

Flightless may just *be* 2 years old!

I'm saving my money for rFactor because it won't use Starforce.

And what kind of immersive single player racing experience does NR2003
deliver Niles?

Well, one in which I can lap cars without being black flagged at the
first caution. One in which current car models/paint schemes are being
used. One that offers me trouble free and FPS friendly *** with
little file manipulation. One that offers a COMPLETE race schedule
including ALL the NNC/NBS/CTS tracks correctly displayed thru the end
of last season and some even up to LV this week.

NSR offers nothing but PROMISE or POTENTIAL or HOPE. It is an
unrealized dream. LFS and GTR both are more polished right now.
