Hi!
Maybe you guys in the States will feel like I do when I read about first
experiences with Longbow2 and I still don't have it. Nevertheless, here
are my first impressions with F1RS (picked it up 3 hours ago).
Config: P200, 64 MB, Monster 3D
Graphics - One word: SPOOOOGE
Driving on the tracks alone I fly into the gravel because I am admiring
the
scenery but mostly because I don't know them anymore. The framerate is
absoulutely fluid (no frame counter found yet), even in Monaco with no
traffic there are NO hickups or slow motion. I only raced with AI at
Melbourne and at the start it was a little sluggish.
Sound - Average
The sound didn't change compared to the (french) demo 8^(.
Physics - Good
It's definitly on par with GP2 (well, GP2 is dead now for sure 8^).
Controls - Good
I was disappointed when I jumped on the track but after changing a few
options it's quite good. It's still not as good (smooth) as in ICR2 or
Nascar2.
Compared to the demo it drives a lot better with the default setups
but there are NO setups included. So you start from scratch...
I'm running out of time, back to the track...
