GET GPL=GrandPrixLegends, it is by far the best and ONLY simulator in my
opinion, youll probably be flooded with loads of other guys telling you the
same thing, for sure even :o)
YOu wont regret buying it.

In my book Geand Prix Legends is the onely SIMULATOR on the market. All the
rest are gust Games!!!!!!!!!

Im a RaceCar driver and a PC game lover, I purchas all car games for my pc i
can find.

A R,

I hate to tell you they are all games.  After having been in a ture Flight
Simulater with full motion, anything on a PC is a game.  I buried a very
expensive private jet on this simulator and have the bruises to prove it.

I've been in a racing simulator a few months ago. Great fun, I drove
two laps on Spa. Really scaring!

They are all games, yes, but GPL is also a SIMULATION (as are a lot of other
games).
This is distinct from a SIMULATOR, which is what you used when you had your
SIMULATION of flying.

So to clarify what you said... A SIMULATOR is something that you partake
of a SIMULATION. For the period GPL is used your PC + controller is the
SIMULATOR that you are running the SIMULATION on.

The point David was making, and you well know it, was that compared to
full scale commercial flight simulators and simulations, anything that
has come out on the PC so far is still a game.

I haven't had the chance to play on one but they're acknowledged as being
as close to real flying as possible and a country mile away from PC
flight simulation.

------------------------------ English --------------------------------------

I think that he would like to know if it exists a simulation that is
not a game. An equivalent of " Flight Simulator " for example.

It would also interest me to know it so exists, I think that there would be a
market for schools of conduct.

Think of it gentlemen of Papyrus.

In a friendly way,

----------------------------- French ------------------------------------------
Je penses qu'il aimerait savoir s'il existe une simulation qui ne soit
pas un jeu. Un equivalent de "Flight Simulator" par exemple.

Cela m'interesserait aussi de savoir si cela existe, je penses qu'il y aurait
un march pour les coles de conduite.

Pensez-y messieurs de Papyrus.

No market for it at all.  Or at least not a large enough one for Sierra.

If your talking about that on the PC-market, I agree there isn't much of a
market, unless you would talk about a online global city where everybody
could co-exist (hehe that would be fun).  But the Sierra driving school
software was "ok", especially the second version, and I really think that if
you create an overall good package there could be a market for this.  I
really liked them to package it with the GP1wheel back in the days for under
100$, it was a good marketing deal.

But if your talking about specialized simulators, there is plenty available
all around the world, and much more accurate than GPL will ever be.  Those
corporation simulators, from companies like BCE or software-based engine
simulators, are very complicated.  I would think that once maybe the Papyrus
game engine could be sell to some company who does private simulators.
Maybe it is already.  But I do not think it's even enough sophisticated
compared to others.

I would say the majority opinion in terms of realism (wrt the physics and
feel of the car) would be:

1) Sierra's Grand Prix Legends
2) Sierra's Viper Racing,
3)  Maybe Ubisoft's Monaco GP Racing 2 or Microprose GP2.

Though 1 and 2 are the only ones to give a really "live" feel.

Here at work we are getting a full-scale car simulator in some months, and
it will be really interesting to see how the physics will be compared to GPL.
Some of my colleagues (sp?) have tried GPL too and they mean that our new
simulator will not be as advanced. I'm realy looking forward to try it and try
some racing on it and see how it feels. The main use of it is to research
traffic-behaviour.

I would tend to agree with your colleagues.  Obviously not having seen it
first hand, I can't say exactly, but if its being used to model and research
traffic-behaviours I would tend to think that the sophistication of the
physics model would not need to be enormously complex as you are focusing
more on how the traffic moves, rather than how each car handles.
