Return to the Glory Years

by Dave Henri » Mon, 07 Mar 2005 13:51:37

  Yes Sportscar fans, it has arrived.  Thrill to the challenge and history
of racing GTP type cars on tracks all over the world.  YEs now you can
slide into the***pit of Chassis a, b, c, or d and continue the thrilling
battles these great marques waged through the 80's and 90's.
  I've always been a fan of Chassis C, the factory has maintained a fine
reputation over the years in many types of racing, but here, Chassis C
shines forth.  Truly a worthy effort.
  I applaud Redline Development for getting the tiny nuances of Chassis C
down pat.  I went over the car with a fine tooth comb and the attention to
detail is amazing.  Chassis C fans all over the world can rest assured this
is the finest recreation of the historic marque.
  Now I'm off to that long track in Belgium.

...only if you favor romans a clef.  Yes, it's well-deserved sarcasm.  (The
physics aren't any better...or more realistic...either; they just changed
the range of the settings, and the effects of same - the wing now has less
drag and a 10-deg. higher min. angle, f.e.)

Pretty funny stuff dh, if it at least plays as well as the original (Which I
*forgot* to uninstall......my bad) then we have at least a pretty darn good
simulator to play with, Lord knows the most recent Big Time Major Label
Racing Sim isn't it.....at least, not yet anyway. Livery and realistic
tracks aren't as important to me as solid multiplayer, and the "feel" of the
car, which GTP does very well. Guess I'll mosey over and join the line
now......

Have you actually driven it, or are you simply believing the p.r.?

Yes, I have driven it, quite a lot actually. One place where you can
really feel the improves physics, is over bumpy surfaces and curbs. In
1.0 the car started "oscillating" really easily and was generally
pretty hard to control over curbs. Now it's much better and you can
actually use the curbs in places; of course you still can't go crazy
on them.

And I don't see why you shouldn't believe the "PR". They're not
selling the mod, so they shouldn't have any reason to start an
EA-style PR campaign, no?

Anyway, I like the 1.1 version a lot better than 1.0. With the physics
improvements and a couple of other fixes it's a clear choice for me
especially as you can copy tracks and car from the previous version.

So, I don't agree with the comments that it has been "dumbed down"...
it is probably more hassle for the user to copy the tracks and cars
over but as I see it, it's better to have it this way than no mod at
all.

Hmm, I guess I might give it a go.  I thought the tyres in 1.0 were far too
forgiving for racing tyres....


1. Stolen Vette returned to Owner after 37 years!

2. Stolen Corvette Returned 37 Years Later

3. Tennessee: 'Super speeder' bill will return next year, rep says

4. Returning after 30 years away...
