Key threads

• First impressions of the netKar sim 2002-09-27 · 24 posts
  Steve Blankenship introduced netKar, a new Italian sim with a Formula Ford 2000, praising its physics despite simple graphics. Some users had crashes or ran at a fraction of real time, often fixed by rebooting, closing background programs or disabling a second display. Developer Stefano Casillo apologised and pointed to the 0.9.1 update, and Ruud van Gaal discussed CPU usage and timing with him.
• RAS nostalgia 15 years on and upcoming sims 2011-03-06 · 20 posts
  Jack Sampson lamented how quiet RAS had become since the NASCAR 1 and 2 days. Regulars discussed why newsgroups lost out to web forums and ISPs dropping Usenet, and talked about Shift 2, the console NASCAR game and delays to rFactor 2. Others reminisced about early Microprose and Crammond titles.
• Sim racers spend on hardware but balk at software prices 2006-08-26 · 29 posts
  Tony Rickard observed that sim racers spend heavily on hardware but are reluctant to pay for software. The discussion moved on to whether iRacing would just reuse NR2003 and GPL multiplayer code, and whether Papyrus's netcode still beat rFactor's. Opinions differed, with several praising the rFactor F1 1979 mod and GT Legends' physics.
• Rant on rFactor's fragmented mods and empty servers 2006-06-15 · 47 posts
  Ed White complained that rFactor's many tracks, mod versions and mismatches made finding an online race nearly impossible. Some agreed and preferred NR2003 or Live for Speed's tightly controlled content, while others advised sticking to a niche or joining clubs. David G Fisher promoted the RACER rFactor club, and the release of Spa 1967 for rFactor was mentioned.
• Is rFactor's open modding diluting online racing? 2006-01-03 · 50 posts
  An article quote suggesting rFactor's endless mods splinter the community prompted Mitch_A to say too many series and tracks left races empty, and ymenard to declare rFactor a failure. Others defended rFactor's success and quality scratch-built tracks such as Trois-Rivieres, while criticising sloppy conversions and the Porsche mod's weight distribution. The thread also covered GT Legends praise, the lack of upcoming sim releases, and motion sickness in games.
• Is netKar the new GPL? 2003-07-20 · 125 posts
  A poster declared the free netKar 0.99 'the new GPL', and Damien Smith agreed, praising the F360, Mini and Supra physics. Many others, including Jason Moyer and Andrew MacPherson, admired it as a one-man effort but found the handling unconvincing compared with GPL, LFS and NR2003. The thread was notable for one reply that was accidentally posted dozens of times.
