• Do PS2 racing games have realistic physics? 2001-10-26 · 23 posts
  A new PS2 owner found Gran Turismo 3 cars sliding as if on ice and its force feedback weak. Jonny Hodgson said Vanishing Point's realistic tyre modelling felt similar, Stephen Ferguson criticised GT3's unrealistic airborne pitching, and others discussed aerodynamic causes. Doug Milliken noted that Atari's Hard Drivin' arcade games used real Corvette tyre data his company supplied.
• Tim Wheatley reviews the Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo wheel 2008-09-06 · 24 posts
  Tim Wheatley posted links to his reviews of the Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo wheel and the Logitech Driving Force EX. Readers asked for pricing and comparisons with the G25, debated Microsoft's old wheel clamp, and argued over the G25's dual-motor dead spot around centre. The Fanatec wheel's designer joined to explain the choice of a single strong motor with a belt drive and low cogging forces.
• Alex Zanardi returns to a Champ Car at Lausitz 2003-05-09 · 29 posts
  Posters celebrated Alex Zanardi driving a hand-controlled Champ Car at Lausitz, where he finished the laps he had left uncompleted at the time of his 2001 crash. His lap speed of nearly 193 mph would have qualified him in the top ten. The thread drifted into plans for attending Le Mans.
• Do PS2 racing games compare with PC sims 2002-10-13 · 46 posts
  Rick Sweeney asked whether PS2 racing titles compared with PC sims on his new HDTV. Most said none matched PC sims in depth, though Gran Turismo 3 and NFS Hot Pursuit 2 were praised as fun, and Steve Smith, author of GPL's Four Wheel Drift guide, rated GT3 highly for gameplay. A newcomer's insults drew rebukes, and side posts covered installing the SSM mod's Le Mans track in F1 2002.
• Lack of durable mid-priced racing wheels 2006-04-22 · 42 posts
  After a defective Logitech Momo, a user asked what happened to good racing wheels. Many lamented the gap between short-lived plastic Logitech wheels and expensive boutique BRD, TSW and ECCI units, while others praised the Driving Force Pro, the Thrustmaster GT Pro and long-lasting Microsoft force feedback wheels. Patents held by Immersion and the long-delayed BRD force feedback wheel were also discussed.
• Gran Turismo 4 impressions and the 'game versus sim' debate 2005-03-09 · 23 posts
  Players enthused about Gran Turismo 4, especially driving the Nordschleife with a Driving Force Pro. One poster dismissed it as a kids' game because it had no cockpit view. Others argued over whether GT4 counts as a simulation, and one noted it could be played online through xLink Kai.
• Steve Smith's first look at Gran Turismo 4 2005-02-25 · 72 posts
  Steve Smith posted a first look at Gran Turismo 4, praising it as the best console racer while criticising Sony for dropping online play. Others debated the weak AI, gamepad versus wheel use, PC wheel compatibility on the PS2, and the upcoming Forza. Joe62 and Smith argued at length about whether publishers would pay for online play in console games.
