(http://www.racesimcentral.net/) It -hints- at what might be GPL2 (or
CART2) based on the GPL engine.
David, if you're reading this, GPL2...-YES PLEASE-! The early 70s, as
you and the interviewer mentioned, would be -fine-! CART2 would be
-fine-! GTL would be heaven, unless you're leaving that for the West
Bros. and the community. However, any racing sim, especially open wheel,
that wasn't NASCAR would be wonderful. Yes, GPL sales were
disappointing, but I'm sure you're aware of the impact your effort has
made on the racing sim community. Every magazine sim review uses GPL as
a benchmark that no-one has yet equaled.
My admittedly non-professionnal advice...be sure to include options to
make it easier for the casual gamer, but leave the option to turn all
aids off so that what remains is an updated GPL in all its heavenly
difficulty. It's been about two years since I bought GPL, and it just
gets better and better. Now that's the way a sim should be.
Thanks for that, and I await with baited breath your next effort. Who
knows, maybe N4 will even get me interested in NASCAR. GPL certainly
revived my interest (interest...?...it's an obsession now...) in F1,
something I hadn't paid attention to since puberty, sometime in the
Jurassic period. You can do that to me again any time.
