F12K needed a Cray, but F12KCS was a lot better. So there is hope! Iain "Jagg" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

How have you managed to bring F1RC into this? Amazing! Have you tried F1 2001? How do you know that it's 'no worse than F1RC'? Although nothing like as good as the obviously wonderful GPL FF, the FF in F1RC is a lot better than either of the previous EA titles, and you can feel the car lifting off in corners, steering lightening, and good spot effects. Not brilliant by any means, but pretty good and certainly better than most. Iain "Jagg" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Who said anything about F1 RC ;). I agree, in F1 RC (demo) FF is appaling as well, and the only modern F1 sim to get it at least close to right is GP3. But if F1 2000/CS 2000 had done it, it would have been very hard for me to say which modern F1 sim is my favourite. As it stands now, though (and especially since 3D sound was released for it)... -Gregor Jagg wrote:

How do you know that it's 'no worse than F1RC'? I meant the FFB is no worse in F12K compared to F1RC. I managed to bring F1RC into it, because I think people like you are giving F1RC more credit than it deserves. IMO, you're just eyecandy weenies and are glossing over the deficiencies in F1RC just because you think it looks so great. All looks and little substance. >Although nothing like as good as the obviously wonderful GPL FF, the FF in >F1RC is a lot better than either of the previous EA titles, and you can feel >the car lifting off in corners, steering lightening, and good spot effects. Yea, I can feel that, but were's the cornering forces? >Not brilliant by any means, but pretty good and certainly better than most. GP3 has much better FFB than F1RC and F12K. -- eFalcon keyboard chart in PDF format http://storm.prohosting.com/~nos146/ef4_keys.zip

My only real complaint about GP3 is that the AI is still a bit daft at times and the graphics need improving in some areas. That jiggling graphics engine is a bit annoying. -- eFalcon keyboard chart in PDF format http://storm.prohosting.com/~nos146/ef4_keys.zip
Wow, Jagg, when was the last time we agreed this much ;). -Gregor Jagg wrote:

Seek some help! In a post about F1 2001, you manage to bring in a totally irrelevant comment about F1RC, and get the sim wrong. No mention of F12K or F1RC in the original post! Pretty impressive. > IMO, you're just eyecandy weenies and are glossing over the deficienciesin F1RC just because you think it looks so great. All looks and little substance. You are continuing my theory of needing some serious help! I have been a simmer probably longer than you've been born! From GC's original classic 'Revs' in the seventies through almost every release to the latest F1RC. I've been posting to ras for years and haven't noticed you until fairly recently. I believe it is you who is totally wrong about F1RC, the fact that it looks amazing is purely a bonus. Even if it looked totally crap, it would still be the best modern F1 sim out there. That is not to say that it doesn't have it's faults, neither does it mean that all other sims are crap. Far from it, I still load F1CS a lot, and GP3 has some merits, but neither of them has the right feel or the physics of the driving experience that makes F1RC such a blast. > GP3 has much better FFB than F1RCdisagree > and F12K.agree.

I go back a long way, not as long as you, but the reason you have'nt noticed me before is because I have a split personality disorder and post under more than one handle. But, I think your old age is fogging your judgement. Time to retire to the web forums on MSN and play online Hearts.

I've noticed that all the crashes I initially blame on them are fully shown to be my mistakes in replays. Sometimes it feels you have more room than you actually do. The graphics engine sure is annoying at times, although the artwork within it is superb. Still, it's not a gameplay killer and this is what counts most. -Gregor
