So, does anyone else out there like the Car & Driver Sim. even with
it's faults???

Personally I love it, driving real cars on real roads, what a concept...

But, then again I loved Stunts, so maybe I'm just weird...

Nope. Same here! Still prefer it to F1GP myself.

I like C&D too. It takes a while to get used to but I have spent hours playing
it without even knowing how long I played it.

I must confess, I couldn't understand why the magazines gave car
& driver such a high mark. The frame rate was far too low on my
486/33 and the polygon landscapes were horendous! it felt like
you were falling off the edge of a table whe tou went over the
brow of a hill!
I was real dissappointed with it. It had a few good points loke
the adjustable field of vision and the drag racing (was that at
all competitive?)
Oh finally, did you try the null modem bit? It updated the
other car about every 4 seconds!
Im an F1GP and IndyCar fan!

I am happy to see a lot of people like Stunts. Its definitely the
best $15 simulator around. I though I was the only one who still
played that...

I have Car and Driver too. I like it a lot, though the frame rate
seems awfully slow on my 386/40.

I hear a lot of people seem to like GP F1 and Indycar. Are these PC
simulators? Is there any other world-class simulators out there for the
PC? How do these stack up against Car and driver, as far as sound,
graphics, spped, and overall realism are concerned?

Hey, You've got it good, buddy. Try C&D (or anything of use, for that
matter) on a 386/16!

I've been playing it since it cost $40! For the first year, I was playing
it on a slow hard drive 286 with EGA. We are talking about 10fps with
everything off, and 1fps everything off, with opponent!

Needless to say, I was happy when I got my VGA 486.

I have about 60 tracks, most of which I downloaded. There is a stunts
directory at wuarchive.wustl.edu: maybe /pub/MDSDOS_UPLAODS/games/stunts.
I haven't been there in a long time, that may not be it.

I also play "Stunt Driver", the only saving graces of which are that
it has body roll and it will use an analog joystick like an analog joystick.
