They make GPL...... a good sim, good gfx, but to be honest I'm still of the
opinion its not totally the game you all make it out to be, but
nevertheless, I enjoy it very much and think it is very good.

Now, lets comepair that to other 1960's sims....... oh wait, theres NONE!

No competition.

Ok, N3,N2 , N1, all good NASCAR games/sims,  but look again.....we have
nothing to compare it to!

Maybe PAPY are being smart, producing somewhat decent GAMES where there has
not been one before, therefore, no competition, the dominate the market in
that division,

In my opinion, if PAPY had more competition we would  end up with a
collection of top rate sims but for now, its just not going to happen.....

..for this reason, I'm saying..... top says thing like "PAPY are sooooooo
brilliant they should make an modern f1 game, rally, .........etc...the list
goes on!"

Why do you assume that Papy can make a fantastic modern f1, rally , nascar,
cart game with a GPL engine....... you must be joking...

You can't be anything more than one of those people who dis RS2 for having
handling much different to GP2...... yeah, like a 1994 F1 car is anything
like a 1997....... ah well, that ones for another day...I've made my point.

Of course ideas are great but I just wonder why everyone thinks that PAPY
would make such fantastic sims of ever form of racing known to man just
because of 1 semi-decent 1960's game?

Name a NASCAR sim on the market today that can compare to Papyrus's
releases.

First of all, it's not because "you" think that it's semi-decent that for
the majority of the *** Simracers it is.  We all think that it's a
masterpiece, that the new game engine is incredible and is the way of the
future for Papyrus.  GPL is a pure racing simulation, it's *** and
incredibly realistic.  It's the best racing title on the market, and it's
because of the completely new Papyrus game engine it has.  It's as simple as
that.

Second of all, If Papy would do any game with the GPL game engine, we would
all buy it, so we have the right to talk about anything on this newsgroup.
Never tell us what to do.

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise
how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

I race myself and have a father who not only currently races an 83 F1 car,
but has raced just about every type of car there is in his long motorsport
hostory

I will not even waste a moment on anything that is even partially game ...
only the most realistic sim that is possible with current computer hardware
will do for me.

Every other sim I ever used went out the window with my purchase of GPL

The physics engine is without doubt the best that is possible with current
computer hardware.
It is the first sim to acurately model certain very important aspects of a
racing car ... inertia, realistic independent suspension movement and
damping, modeling of the mass of each significant part of each car etc etc
etc .... the  list could go on and on.

Not only this but its ingenious use of 60s F1 cars and circuit which in
regards to pure fun has to be the most enjoyable era there is in F1s 50 year
history.

It is every part the game we make it out to be and more ... it is 10years
ahead if its time.

Irregardless if the lack of 1960s F1 sim on the market ... its direct
competition is any release that has the gaul to call itself a racing
simulator.

I am open to constructive criticism of GPL, but your points are totally
unfounded.

GPL requires the dedication of the real thing...  either give it the time it
deserves or stop trolling this SIMULATION newsgroup GraDee.

If you think GPL is just a 60's sim then you're missing the point of the
GPL engine by about <-----(infinity-1)----> this much.

The 67 theme to GPL is just skin deep. Like most decent relationships,
surface appearance isn't really important... though it helps,
especially for the shallow-minded <g>.

And again, of course if PAPY ever make anything ever again that they call a
sim everyone will go and buy if because of GPL..... but I don't understand
why people would think that ust since PAPY can make a decent 1960's F1 sim
that automatically everything they do is a gift from God?

PAPY is very very talented at what they do, I just don't understand how you
are all so 1 sided...... I'd say the same about any other company or
manufacture if you all (well, most of you) acted like this........
