rec.autos.simulators

I don't think GPL will be going anywhere, as it should be the most
challenging game for a long time (Unless someone comes out with another
ultra realistic F1 games of any era, which just don't sound like it's going
to happen, GP3 sounds pretty easy, jump in and drive comes to mind.)

I'm thinking Nascar 4 and WSC are the games that are going to make a
challenge at the crown of simulation king. Nascar 4 should by all means be
more up to date than GPL, unless papy scales back instead of forward. WSC
looks like it's right there too, but we have yet to really see. Like Earlier
said GP3 sound a bit easy, I mean Colin McRae couldn't even get around the
track (Let alone some of the F1 drivers I'll leave nameless) so we shouldn't
be able to jump right in and start making runs at Schumacher. GPL made you
earn it, so should every other sim. That's what makes it fun...

When you spin out in GPL you know it's because of your lack of ability, you
can see what and why, you can feel the reason things are happening. In
MGPRS2 it just seems like you spun out because your not very good at the
game or something....

So with that said, lets hope that r.a.s. is right, and the next games will
come along and give the same experience.

The 3 next "majors" (WSC, N4, GP3) will be an extension of the experience
that GPL ignited for all of us.  Of course we will stay nostalgic to GPL
since it was the first, like some people are still nostalgic over F1GP or
Nascar Racing 1, but the next titles will be incredible, and Im really happy
they won't be released at the same time!

We are in a much better health than presently the flight sim community.
They are really taking a hit these days ;-(

When you spin out in Viper Racing, you know it's because of your lack
of ability, you can se what and why, and you can feel the reason things
are happening.  When you spin out in Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed,
you know it's because of your lack of ability, you can se what and why,
and you can feel the reason things are happening.  When you spin out in
F1 2000, you know it's because of your lack of ability, you can se what
and why, and you can feel the reason things are happening.  When you
spin out in Dirt Track Racing, you know it's because of your lack of
ability, you can se what and why, and you can feel the reason things
are happening.  Still, it all comes down to "but it's not GPL."  Which
further proves, I suppose, that this forum is not GPL-centric . . .

Uh, yeah, what you said.  In the meantime, thank God this forum isn't
GPL-centric -- otherwise, we'd be in danger of missing out on some
potentially-great sims, in the oh-so-unlikely event that one should
come along, of course.

Just wait til GP3 ships...  I'll bet that a good 75% of the messages
on this group will be about that game...

Maybe the comparison is a little bit over the top, but Kai's message
reminded me an awful lot of the "I'm not a racist but I don't like
***s"-quote. If only they would paint them _white_  (absolutely no
offence intended)

Which suddenly makes me wonder: are there any coloured fellows around
here? For some reason (there are so few around?) there seem to be very
few links between blacks/reds/yellows and racing. Surely not a
talent-thing.

Anyone?
