Re: N4 vs. Heat

Try playing with some of the settings in the setup for the car, you can drastically change how the steering responds Also try changing your Linear Steering setting.. I think lower is less sensitive <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:95u7ff$k7v$[email hidden]...

N4 physics are far superior than Heat, take a real world stock car driver and plug his setup into heat then N4 and they will see N4 is a whole lot more realisitc .

Good List, however, you couple buy a 40GB HD for $100 bucks or so and run as many games as you want. I'll be running both to get the best of both. -- Bruce Moody AKA Deiter #33 RacersDomain.Com Drivers Club Director http://www.racersdomain.com <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:95u7ff$k7v$[email hidden]... >

I prefer N4s' graphics and physics much better. I thing heat looks cartoonish as I have said before. The only thing I like in heat better is the FF.

They have to do the GPL in-game save patch first.......... Marc. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:95ub7p$nqu$[email hidden]...

You act like you're speaking from experience... do you have real world Nascar setups? If so... PLEASE Share! That would be a great thing to try... IMHO. Then we'd really see how close these physics models are to the "real world". Besides, it has to be better than the setups I come up with on my own. Unless, of course, it's a "bottom feeder's" setup... :-) Dave Ericson "MomoBoy" JDB Racing G_Major wrote: > N4 physics are far superior than Heat, take a real world stock car driver > and plug his setup into heat then N4 and they will see N4 is a whole lot > more realisitc > > .
