A really informed opinion given there! Like you really were able to evaluate
a very complex sim in that time!

Look, it's actually rather simple. I didn't say anything about the
quality of these games (nor the lame company producing them) but was
just listing features which made it to MGPRS but not into F1RS.
Whether these *additional* features are well implemented in your
opinion or not is irrelevant, fact is they are there. They are however
significant enough to give one game a clear advantage over the other
and thus make the decision which one to take an easy one.
Also I'd like to point out that I too would have liked to see
something else than a rehash using the old POD engine (and I hope what
you say about upcoming games is not true) but then again, Papyrus in
example recycled their 5 years old indycar engine for lord knows how
often...

Thanks for the tip! I was thinking about getting the Logitech FF
today :-)

Nothing wrong with the soundcard. The sound is at least the same in
MGPRS2. I was quite disappointed that they never fixed the high speed
downshift sound (flam16.wav).

>yeah, greggy, it is so good that i will give my copy (including the box and

Hey ***. *** you. If you want to start some shit, fine with me.

that

Wow.

If you say so.

Let me see... F1RS (and MGPRS2) have a have a better framerate and
better graphics, force feedback and 3D positional sound. Even though
the AI is stupid you can still drive around them and win (or do very well)
in races. F1RS and MGPRS2 has changing weather conditions, but I
imagine you wouldn't know shit about that. Or are you good enough to
win rain races? Heck even a win against Amateur AI would be somewhat
impressive...

But no forget all that stuff... GP2 is *WAY* better because it is not
Made by Ubisoft (or something) I guess. Is that your point.

>>postage to send it to them. every time i see that box, it makes me mad.
>that

>Wow.

first off, porkchop, i am an ***, but for different reasons than you
have stated, so***off. socondly, i have stuck by my bashing of the crappy
f1rs by offering my copy of the scummy program to any takers for free. you
know what? zip. nadda. nobody wants that piece of crap, and i don't blame
them.

here is the score, amigo:

GP2 = very good
GPL = great
F1RS (and that monaco crap, too) = bad
a piece of dog ***in 3D is still a piece of dog crap. it's just in 3D.

you bring nothing to the fight.
