I don't mean to argue too much with you but I didn't comment on the screen
shot. I don't mind what physics model will be in the game. As long as its
a good racing sim with good fun and not an arcade game. All I was
commenting on in my earlier post was the fact that people that make negative
comments towards a game or whatever get shotdown way too much. DW says
"Then don't buy it," concerning the fact that Barlow didn't like the fact
that there was no realism concerning the body roll. This is not the way we
should be handling negative comments on a newsgroup. Like I said before, if
no one says something bad about a game, where will this newsgroup go?
Oh well forget everything I said. I'm sorry.
