rec.autos.simulators

Well I did it, and I didn't think I was going to. I should have asked here
first before buying this TOTALLY lame excuse for a sim.  I installed it
played it for 5 minutes and UN installed it.  What a joke!!    This has to
be THE worst driving SIM I've ever seen.  It's more like an arcade game
than a sim.  Oh well, I'll ask here next time I get a wild hair.  LOL

That was my impression too. However, after checking the incar
shots from Suzuka yesterday, I am not so sure. The incar cameras
had the same shots as the game. I thought the game framerate was
*WAY* too high. It actually looked like the incar camera. However,
the game has serious problems. Namely that there really is no
damage. *YOUR* car sounds like blipping from the old pong games
or some other bad FM sound. It certainly did not sound like Schumachers
car did in the Japan race :-) The biggest boo-boo was the fact that
none of the ingame settings are saved. Graphics, joystick control
all have to be re-initialized every time your run the game. I called
Psygnosis and they had no answer...

F197 ot F1? I don' have F197 yet, but re: F1, the sounds may not be
what you want (the F1 bee-hive isn't to my personal taste), but I
undertand that they are actually the most accurate of any of the
present sims- achieved by loading a Jordon F1 car with DATs and
sending it around.

That said, I like GP2's sound better. But that is probably because
instead of being accurate, they seemed to have gone for something that
sounds "good."

I only have the Playstation version. It doesn't have that problem,
strangely enough.

Sure the *OTHER* cars sound great. The PLAYERs car engine sound
*SUCKS*. Period.
