Ahah! One more title not worth the CD it will be imprinted on. Modern
F1 sims=Shite in a pretty box. Maybe Papy will one day bestow upon us
a GPL2, modeling the mid or late seventies...I guess we can dream.

I'd rather race Mario Andretti and Gilles Villeneuve than Michael
Scumsucker and Mika Hakkinen any day.

I can control GPL cars? Whats wrong with these people? If they can't drive
then they shouldn't be making Racing Sims.

Wouldn't have bought it anyway! Now I'm quite sure of that!

What?!? WTF does a computer SIM have to do with an actual F1 race???

Two possible explanations. 1: they are worried that a good online sim
will
draw viewers away from the Sunday televised race. 2: In the proper hands,
an Prost could kick a Ferrari's behind during an online race...perhaps the
manufactuers don't want to see the pecking order upset.

Hi Francois btw :)

another note we haven't brought, Ubisoft beta testers (well at least back to?
F1RS and MGPRS2 days ) are using keyboards.... shows you how serious they are
about racing sims <g>

Shut up, people have different opinions. I agree with him, I would much
rather drive those cars then boring and bland modern Formula One's.

Actually not to contrary you Eric but the Thrustmaster GP1 was the most used
wheel during the test phase for F1RS and MGPRS2. Some of them used
keyboard, and yes most of them didn't really have motorsports knowledge. We
have to make the difference between a game developper and a racing game
developper. Ubisoft does multi-type games, their testers (and all the staff
let's remember) are employed to do any type of game, not specifically racing
games.

If you didn't notice, I did not reply to his opinion about modern F1
and the respective sims, which I partially share, but to the childish
part of his post.

Could there be two licences involved?

$ for FIA licence

$$ for FIA licence with multiplayer

But the makers of gp3 said almost word for word what the Ubisoft guy has
said. I think uncle bernie doesn't want to let the genie out of the bottle
until
he knows what the genie is and how much money can be made....
