But seriously, it seems that you either opt long, realistic stages (RC2000) or you get somewhat pleasing physics (Rally Masters). I love the RC2000 stages, but I hate the way the cars drive, even with all sorts of physics patches and updates. With Rally Masters, I love the way the cars drive, but I wish the stages were longer and more varied. If somebody comes up with a way to make addon tracks for RM...with that and GPL, I figure I'd be a happy racer for years to come. Itazura

Well, it's not a Rally, but the Ring and Spa in GPL are quite long and quite scenic. And until you drive it for a few years, you'll see the tree's and houses up close.

It has some connection with RC, but it's on the biz side, not the creative (developers), so it doesn't play or look the same. Much more arcade-y. "Mike Davison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:adg5da$cne$[email hidden]...

Do you mean rally newsgroups? There are two that I check out all the time: rec.autos.cport.rally and Alt.autos.sport.rally TB

no, sorry, was meaning sim-rallying... "Tony Borroz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:B920CECE.3C8A3%[email hidden]...

That's the problem. There's a rally sim with so-so handling but very (very) long tracks (Rally Championship), there's a rally sim with average handling and short tracks (Rally Masters, not Master Rallye which is crap). Then there's another one that has almost arcade physics but medium-lenght tracks (Colin McRae Rally 2). Oh and there's also Rally Trophy, with good physics and medium-lenght tracks. None has been able to have at the same time, long stages and realistic handling. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://www.ymenard.8m.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

Ah, sorry about that ... well, you'll probably have to check the forums at various web sites, but as far as rally Sim NG's, I haven't found any. Pity ... TB

The tie-breaker being Rally Championship, which has a patch that allows you to tweak the physics 6 (or more) ways to Sunday. IMO, what's wrong w. RC is that the game cheats on the numbers (the times posted by your competitors, stage-by-stage, section-by-section, and rally-by-rally).
