Haqsau....
I have not installed the JGTC mod yet....but plan on doing it as soon as the
ALMS event here at Sears is over. I did try the FIAGT mod.....didn't think
much of it and removed it from my race box. However, I understand a "v2" is
out...and I should give that a go as well. Isn't Doug Arnoe (spl?) behind
that one? His work would have to be first rate.
I like the ALMS mod....mainly because those cars run here in the USA, and
I've raced with many of the current ALMS drivers. Of course, I'd like to
see the ALMS mod add the GTS and LMP675's and LMP900's......then hopefully
they'll start building some of the tracks that are so glaringly missing (the
US road courses). The physics on this mod are not bad....especially if they
settle on the "grip" issue and lower it. My understanding is they'll do
that in order to release the GTS cars (which will be based on the GT car
physics parameters). We'll have to see.
I've heard very good things on the JGTC mod - from both a graphics and car
physics standpoint.......and will give it a try as I said. However, those
cars don't have a personal appeal to me.....I don't attend races in
Japan....you know? Don't know the drivers either....lol...
Too bad the V8 Supercars sim is such junk. Those are great cars and the
Aussie drivers are some of the best I've seen handling high-octane V8
racecars. I don't think I missed a race on Speed Channel this past winter
(their summer). Our own Winston Cup drivers could take a few lessons from
those V8 Supercar drivers! No doubt! And, I was looking forward some of
those great Aussie tracks (Bathurst....the most). Dang it!

Tom
