Which Saleen? S7 or a Mustang?  (at work so I can't go download it to find
out)

    Isn't the Mustang no longer raced by Saleen?   For the past several
years, the only Saleen I've seen racing is the S7.  I'm guessing the
Mustang is just about as out of date as SCGT, the last sim to feature the
car(that I know of)

No idea.  I don't follow road racing.  the only reason I asked was I own a
Mustang and its put up for winter and I miss driving it.  lol

Absolutely brilliant with 3 small exceptions:

i) The left mirror doesn't work properly on the Ferrari (you get the same
display as in the right mirror).

ii) We need the virtual mirror now, please (disabled for some bizarre
reason).

iii) The control for clutch works in the set-up screen, but not in the game
if you have Auto Clutch enabled.  There are still a few times you need to
disengage the clutch completely even if you are using auto clutch.  Why
prevent this from working?  Most people who use auto-clutch wouldn't bother
to even map it, but for those who do, let us use it.  Works fine in manual
clutch mode so it isn't the controller.

I'd really like to like this thing, but I seem to have the same trouble as a
lot of people; can't get it to stop stuttering long enough to get a feel
for.  All ISI-based sims of this generation are subject to it to some
degree, but this demo is even worse than the first two in that respect.
Searched the forums, tried all the supposed fixes - no luck.  FPS is fine,
and no other sims do it; rFactor doesn't do it either, for that matter.
Guess gMotor 2.0 really is different... ;-)

PS - the virtual mirror works fine for me; guess I should be glad of
something!  (Even if you enable it, you have to have it toggled on - check
your controller assignments and try that.  Ditto on the clutch though - if
you run auto-clutch you can't override it.)

A demo full of copy protection.  What WILL they think of next.

Hey, at least people can't buy the game, have problems and then *** that
the demo worked.  ;-)

If you want a good laugh, check out the forum here where some brats are
saying that they are stealing Nissan's copyright on 'GTR' and they also
expressing their disappointment that a game called GTR doesn't contain a
Nissan GTR.  What a tragic sign of the times...... :-(

Same problem here. Demo 1 and 2 ran beautifully, this 3rd one has
horrible stuttering making it unplayable.

My virtual mirror is "X"'d off with no ability to turn it on.

The copy protection is done by encrypting some files, including gtr.exe.
Now if the gtr.exe of the demo was left un-encrypted (i.e. without copy
protection), then the hackers/crackers would get a "free sample"...

Yes, I know, the StarForce copy protection has been cracked already, but
there's still no simple no-cd patch available for GTR.

It's the same with the full (german) version. Everyone at the official
GTR forum seems to agree that this feature (independent clutch setting)
should be added, but no reply on this subject by Simbin staff yet.
