- haven't noticed the setups being anything terrible.
- no controller problems at all (TSW2 stock)

Forgot this; really like the realistic way to recover from a spin, unlike
03.
Thanks for the url.

Controller input (setup) is excellent. Even my TSW2, which usually
causes "some" problems right out of the box, worked flawlessly. Simply
select the item, push, turn or click the controller and away you go.
Almost Papy like!
Recovery from a spin actually works, you know opposite lock! Wow!

This quote: "Users of L.C.D. displays, especially laptop displays, may

other than the
native resolution of the L.C.D. display which is usually 1280x1024."
That was posted above from the readme. Guess what? There is no
1280x1024 mode offered. The highest I saw was 1280x960, both 16 and 32
bit.
Same problem for me. It looks pretty good in 1280x960 32 bit though, and
frame rates are high. Looks better than N2003 in a lot of ways. People need
to make sure they have anisotropic filtering turned on in display
properties.

Does someone have a decent setup for the tracks?

Maybe that's why the warning is there. 1280x1024 mode doesn't exist, so
the image quality will suffer.
Looks like I won't be trying the demo then (but it looks like I wouldn't
have been impressed anyway, so no great loss).
Looks good? For me it looks worse than N3 at 1280, its so bad that you cant even judge where the track is going to go.

You need to try it for your won edification. I have run it since it came out
and am not reviewer and won't attempt it.
What I have read previously is true, and false. It was only after I saw,
drove, messed with all the settings that I satisfied my own curiosity.
I appreciate what you say (I read this group daily and have for years, just
don't post much).
So do a girl racer a favor and try it. I am interested in YOUR opinion, not
your opinion based on others comments...

I dont think EA has ANY clue what a true simmer wants.

Hovercraft! That's it! That's what an ISI based game feels like to me :)
