Lots of laps. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-br+AD4APA-/div+AD4-As demos go, +ACY-nbsp+ADs-it's not to bad. +ADw-br+AD4-
The setup boys will love this. +ADw-br+AD4-
It ran on my P133 w/rendition card. +ADw-br+AD4-
I didn't try customizing the cars. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-But pit adjustments didn't seem to +ADw-br+AD4- effect the way the car handled on the track. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-( a demo bug?) +ADw-br+AD4-
The cars are very twitchy at the figure 8 track. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-I tried to make +ADw-br+AD4- adjustments in the pits and could not achieve understeer, (or push in +ADw-br+AD4- stock car terms). +ADw-br+AD4-
The backround art is very good. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-The cars themselves, well, +ACY-nbsp+ADs-leave +ADw-br+AD4- something to be desired. +ADw-br+AD4-
At this point I give it a 2 out of 5. +ADw-br+AD4-

+ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADsAXw-Simmers+AF8AIQ- Download this thang and give it a chance........ +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-br+AD4APA-/div+AD4-Agreed, this sim really has the feeling of IMSA all over it, I can almost +ADw-br+AD4- imagine fighting Mad Max and his red Ferrari for the line into the corner, +ADw-br+AD4- maybe Bethesda will release the file structure for the cars and someone can +ADw-br+AD4- make an IMSA car set. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-The handling feels pretty good once I changed to REALISTIC, turned +ADw-br+AD4- steering, braking, shifting, and spin help off, although the cars were +ADw-br+AD4- feeling pretty tail happy until I played around with the car steering +ADw-br+AD4- settings and added a bit of rear wing along with a V-10 engine. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Pretty soon I was getting the hang of +ACoAKgAq- the tail out around the turns +ADw-br+AD4- and was actually outrunning the AI on rookie. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-A couple of things that I haven't gotten used to are: +ADw-br+AD4- 1. The graphics look a bit on the dark side, I hope they add a video gamma +ADw-br+AD4- adjustment. +ADw-br+AD4- 2. I wasn't able to find an adjustment for setting the center deadzone for +ADw-br+AD4- the controller and with my T2 at highspeed I was weaving alot when I was +ADw-br+AD4- overcorrecting. Actually I probably just have to find the adjustment that +ADw-br+AD4- compensates steering to car speed similar to GP2, it looks like it might be +ADw-br+AD4- there but I didn't look too hard for it. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-This sim looks like a must buy for me after 2 hours of playing with the demo +ADw-br+AD4- especially since I live in Seattle and have always dreamed about racing under +ADw-br+AD4- the monorail weaving in and out of the support poles for the track, and from +ADw-br+AD4- the screenshots for the Seattle track this is possible in X-Car. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Pretty neat details too in the car setup screen like the different test tracks +ADw-br+AD4- for Top Speed, Cornering, Braking, and Skid Pad. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Definitely think the demo was worth the download. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Cheers. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4---John +ADw-br+AD4- -- +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-Note: my real e-mail address is below.

+ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4AJg-gt+ADs-X-car is definitly a sim, with an arcadish look. Thge graphics are easily +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-better than gp2/indycar and i think even a bit better than nascar2. Lots of +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-options, excellent tracks, and the damn thing has a decent frame-rate on my +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-p120 32 megs..... +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4AJg-gt+ADs-The only problem I have with X-car (and this is a demo, so who knows) +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4AJg-gt+ADs-When your car gets into a slide, there's no catching it+ACE- Anyone noticed this +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-yet? I mean, your sliding, and you go to correct, and the car does +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-gt+ADs-nothing...brake or no brakes, gas or no gas+ADs- I can't catch a slide, period+ACE- +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4AJg-gt+ADs-Maybe I'm doing something horribly wrong? +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-br+AD4APA-/div+AD4-Play with the car settings, pick +ACY-quot+ADs-MODIFY CAR+ACY-quot+ADs- and go change the amount +ADw-br+AD4- of steering lock. I increased all three of the steering settings and +ADw-br+AD4- added a bit of rear wing angle and it really changed how the car +ADw-br+AD4- handled and cornered. It makes it possible to use opposite-lock to control +ADw-br+AD4- spins and even get a bit sideways around the corners without spinning out. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Of course I don't know what the two other steering adjustments besides +ADw-br+AD4- steering lock angle are actually for since it will probably only be explained +ADw-br+AD4- in the game manual, but increasing them seemed to help. Also make sure you +ADw-br+AD4- turned off steering help and spin help in the options menu, these two were +ADw-br+AD4- making it very difficult to control the car with until I figured out they were +ADw-br+AD4- enabled. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Hope that helps. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Nice demo to play with until the game actually releases. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Cheers. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4---John +ADw-br+AD4- -- +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-Note: my real e-mail address is below.
