Can't say that I am, sorry.
I haven't read or seen anything to indicate this might be the case. Depends
on one's definition of sim, perhaps.

I thought that was WSC? If it's so good then why aren't they making a

Most of the people here have never seen GT3, don't know much about it, and
think it's ***just because it's only available on a console. They are
simply ignorant snobs, I'm sorry to say, but it's the truth. I mean, you
can have an opinion, but if you give an opinion about something you know
nothing about, it's not worth much (but we ARE on the internet here, so what
else is new :-).
I actually just saw GT3 in action connected to the Logitech FF wheel. It
is, hands down, the most gorgeous car racing game ever made (so far). I
didn't get to drive much but the physics are good as well as the feedback.
I really haven't had a chance to test how good or complete a simulation it
is, but there is no doubt that the laws of physics are playing a strong role
at making the game feel real. And there are so many damn cars to choose
from, all extremely detailed. Lots of details and fine touches.
You simply can't find a PC game that comes close to GT3 in it's
completeness. We PC car simulator fans are anxiously awaiting WSC, which I
really hope will fill all of our desires, but frankly, I'm a little worried.
We can just hold our fingers crossed.
I had no interest in buying the PS2, but now I'm actually considering buying
the new PS2/GT3 bundle next week simply to play GT3 on a big screen with the
FF wheel.
sim.
It's just that GT3 gets a lot of flak in the past on this newsgroup, and I
really don't understand the harsh critics.
Oh well, be happy, have fun.

I have seen nothing to indicate GT3 is any different. From screenshots and
preview movies it looks like NFS:PU for the PS2 to me (without the latter's
***pit option), so I'm supposed to get e***d? -Pluheeeze!
Now Dice's "Project Australia" (Aussie touring cars using the STCC2 engine),
that might be something if it ever materialises.

Although the physics aren't up there with a top notch simulation, I always
enjoyed GT1. For gameplay and raceability, it was hard to beat.
