MSRW Kart 2002: Call for ghosts

Hi, I've setup a 'functional' wepage to collect ghosts for the simulation 'Michael Schumacher Racing World Kart 2002' - and I would be happy, if you send in your best recordings. Simply send your ghost file to [email hidden] (reply-to is set, state the laptime in this mail) and I will copy it to my website. If you want to help me, you can rename your ghost file: fun_01_jpn.ghost -> fun_01_jpn_<time>.ghost for example fun_01_jpn.ghost -> fun_01_jpn_003356.ghost You can add a text-file where you mention your name, nickname, email address and comments, right now this file will be simply provided for download too. Berthold aka Ponguin

I sent my 32.94, but where is the web page? David G Fisher "Berthold Josephs" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Kind of off-topic, but is this built on the same engine as Open Kart or did they redo things? Jason

I've only tested the Open Kart demo for a very short time, it looks and feels completely different. Open has been developed by 'Microids' (a french company) whereas MSRW Kart 2002 has been created by 'Terratools', a german company. But you can never be sure, i.e. HalfLife does not look like Quake1.

Thanks. I forgot Open Kart was distributed by Microids and not JoWood, so I immediately passed this one off as being bad as Open Kart was. How is the handling in MSRW Kart? Does it lean towards the realism side or is just a lot of fun? Jason

There's a demo for it. http://www.avault.com/pcrl/demo_temp.asp?game=worldkart2k2 I think it's fantastic. Only problem is there will be no online play.

No split axis support either, apparently :( -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:wS5P8.275621$[email hidden]... > There's a demo for it. > http://www.avault.com/pcrl/demo_temp.asp?game=worldkart2k2 I think it's > fantastic.

I can only judge the slow karts, and these are very realistic in handling and feeling ( I regularly drive little races), the sound could be better, but it's good compared with Open Kart. In Open Kart I found the feeling of the speed very bad, going up a hill felt really slow while the game sad '80-110 km/h'. If you stear to strong in MSRW Kart, you slide and loose speed, even with the slow karts. Main problems: - no online races - bad KI It has been (unofficially) said, that there will be an add-on in autumn introducing online races - I believe it, if it's out. Try the demo, buy the game :-) Berthold

Online racing? I hope that's true becasue I really think that would be a lot of fun if it works well. David G Fisher
