I was wondering what your guys' opinion on the best modern F1 sim would be?
I pretty much narrowed it down to either GP3 or F1CS2K. I've been playing
the GP3 demo for quite a while now and like it a lot and now I'm downloading
the F1SC2K demo so that I can compare but, I was wondering what other people
think about these two sims.

thanks in adavance,

I am driving F1 2000.  I am waiting for UBI to release F1 Racing
Championship.  Looks pretty sweet.

Anyway, my vote would be for f1cs

I would vote for F1cs2k.  I have a ton of reasons, so if you want some, tell
me and I will start listing.

I would suggest you perhaps wait a week and see the newest F1 game by
Ubisoft as the demo will be released around February 7-10th.  I personally
think that every modern F1 sim at the moment isn't very good.  Ubisoft's
newest F1 entity isn't really the end-of-all sims but is probably slightly
higher in quality then F1CS (I find it's game engine bland), and especially
GP3 (which I wouldn't suggest at all).

Same here, but the new Ubi is looking interesting.

I've played the dreamcast UBI F1 Racing Championship and while it looks very
nice the physics aren't up to much and the sound is buggy (again what is
with them and sound) that's on a console  the pc one will probably be buggy
as hell.

How would you know?

especially

Please describe bland. EA essentially fixed 90% of the issues people had
with F1 2000.

Whatever :-)

I'd say GP3.  F1CS2K is better in some ways, but the poor physics and AI
ruin it for me.

Because I know, I've seen it.

I still find it bland to my eyes. Not just the graphics, but the feel of the
car and it's physics.  Basically, it's the only thing I find better in GP3.
At least it's not bland, the car has some identity.

<Alex asked: which modern F1 sim?>

Alex, as you can see in this thread and was visible in many other threads,
people don't reach concensus about whether F12000 or GP3 is the best. My
conclusion: they are on the same level.

I own both games and I think both have their strong and their weak points,
but in the end they are quite similar in quality. I think you should
download both the demos and then decide for yourself which game YOU like
most ('cause that's most important).

grtngs,

I have never been able to decide which sim I think is best (F1CS2K or GP3).
They both do certain things very, very well.
