Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: i wanna produce games... ones that people will play... a universal racing engine Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: something that can encompass the proper physics for anything that can be driven on the road Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: and would be easy to switch from track to track to car to car. Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: you could import a F1 car into a swamp buggy race, and do it with the gravity of mars, and add weapons to the car... Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: and because it uses a standard engine, it would work! Mama, I have come home to die | GP4 IS F*CKING "A" AWESOME! says: too much to ask for Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: but more likely... import a 1970's ear F1 car against the modern ones, or take the modern one back to the tracks in '67 Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: *era Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: its possible with todays computing power.... forget the super-graphics, make good graphics, and a great engine. Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: good controller supprt and nice multiplayer features Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: very easy to do. problem is all the companies are afraid to do it, because other people will then modify their products. Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: but all you need are small modifiable modules... one for gravity, one for car stats, one for power stats, one for tire stats, etc... same with the tracks and common data type for the tracks, and then you could make any track or car or whatever work with the game. Mama, I have come home to die | GP4 IS F*CKING "A" AWESOME! says: true, but mucho time and effort Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: bring an indy car onto an F1 track. Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: no more time than to do a normal game... the beauty is you do it once, and you make many games from it! Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: then all you need is the code for each game utilizing that engine. Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: EA is doing it already with their cars, that's why you can import the need 4 speed cars... sierra is doing it with tracks... but what you need is a more flexible dataset so that everything is customizable. Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: from how many gears on the car, to its centre of gravity, to the weight distribution.. Mama, I have come home to die | GP4 IS F*CKING "A" AWESOME! says: <oh god, why did i let him start> Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: all numbers that the engine could pre-process b4 the game starts so that it wouldn't affect game play. Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: quake has an engine... now its time for a racing engine. Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: talk to your geek buddies that made GPL, cause I'm sure you've talked to them. Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: also grab the guys that did Indy500: The simulation. Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: that's still the best racing game. Mama, I have come home to die | GP4 IS F*CKING "A" AWESOME! says: actually, this conversation is going to cut and pasted Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: good, post it to the newsgroups with the gpl guys... Mama, I have come home to die | GP4 IS F*CKING "A" AWESOME! says: rec.autos.simulators Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: they will understand and respect me. Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: i demand to be heard. Mama, I have come home to die | GP4 IS F*CKING "A" AWESOME! says: <lord, he's off again> Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: you betcha i am. Mama, I have come home to die | GP4 IS F*CKING "A" AWESOME! says: <cloud 9 cloud 9, come inplease, your time is up> Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: what are you trying to say? Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: you wouldn't like a game like this? Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: i'm going to start making flowcharts for this game engine... i need to determine all the modules necessary. Mama, I have come home to die | GP4 IS F*CKING "A" AWESOME! says: have fun...........lol Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: and there will need to be 6 parts. Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: 1. track 2. vehicle 3. ground physics 4. air physics 5. damage 6. envirnment Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: and no invisible walls... fully interactive envirnment... Auslieferung vor F��en Deutschlands! says: you can go through fences in my world

But perhaps they have a point. Why hasn't anyone made a game with a "quake" like universal engine that could be adapated to any type of racing... Surely computers are powerful enough for the math needed for the proper physics. The GPL team could do it, I'm sure... Those guys are gods!

Well, there's Racer, there's my stuff, I'm sure Ashely's working in this direction, and I can think of at least one more besides X-Plane's developer, who just announced he's working on X-Automotive. Not a new idea really, there are a few of us I think that have been moving towards this capability for at least a couple of years now... Am I wrong?
