rec.autos.simulators

Just finished downloading it, have not had a chance to install yet.
They don't have the LMP's in yet, or any new tracks, but other than that
it looks pretty good.

The cars a very easy to drive.  I don't run off the road.  I don't
know if it's because of the physics are that the cars are just slower.
It feels a bit like NFS.  The***pit views are great since you are
much closer than the FIA mod.  The FPS are higher too.  I never get
below 30fps (with all graphics turned up) unlike the FIA where I get
as low as 19fps.  A very good 1st release.

Anyway it happily sits alonside, and now I have 3 choices from the one
sim GP, GT and the series created by these guys, which i thank most
sincerley for there efforts.

Thanks guys, and give it a try if your curious, its way cool.

Cheers

I like this new addon version VERY much! Good looking, good fps,
good feel of reality, the cars are easier to drive than F1's and
FIA GT's - perhaps they are a little more "normal" cars... :)

MANY THANKS to the good gang that made this F1 2001 to ALMS mod!!

By the way - and sorry for my ignorance! - what actually is
this ALMS series? (I am ashamed: even my compatriot JJ Lehto
seems to be driving there... :-)

The feel of the car is really good (I use split axis, no driving
assistances on, etc): you really can use also the pedals for
steering and catching a starting spin, etc.

And do I dare to say: after GPL this have come nearest to that
legend! I know, I know, the physics model in N4 is better,
but those heavy N-cars are not that fun to drive (to me!).
These small Ferraris, BMW's, Porsches, ..., feel much more
"GPL-like"... I do not know, if they nowadays are allowed to
use ABS, traction control, etc, in ALMS. But as I said:
without those the feel in this addon is really good!

I dug this up when I was trying to get SCGT physics
to match the actual tech specs.

Couldn't find it just now, but there is a page
that goes into detail about the exact differences
in the classes. Some good pdfs with info.
_______________________________

Basically same cars and classes as the "European" Le Mans, but
generally shorter races; anywhere from 2-3 hours up to 12 (maybe up to
24 hours, although I can't think of a 24 hour race off the top of my
head -- wait Sebring, maybe...)
