Comercial ---->>>> GTR, GPL or GTR ??? Proyects independent -->> Netkar, Racer, LFS or RFactor ? Rally ---> RBR or Colin McRae Rally 2005 ? I wait for commentaries. greetings Claudio.

Graphical and sonic updates (GPLEA), and the mods like 65 and - soon - 69 and 55, renew its lease of life every time. As for GTR or GTR, I'd choose GTR ;) You probably mean GT4 or something, but GTR has a good reputation among hardcore simracers, if the multiplayer code gets an update, that is. > Proyects independent -->> Netkar, Racer, LFS or RFactor ? RFactor is very commercial, just the input of mods is likely to be relatively bigger. > Rally ---> RBR or Colin McRae Rally 2005 ? RBR has decidedly the best rep ATM, although for vintage rallyin' Rally Trophy is OK as well, especially now that there are improvements from a small mod community. My advise would be GPL as it is still "The King of Sims" and open-wheel racing on VROC is most exciting online (combined with one of the best multiplayer experiences and the privilege of having 400+ tracks to choose from), and if you master GPL you've got a very sturdy hardcore simracing experience to go explorin' further in any direction. Besides, yer average 2 GHz+ pc these days is likely to run it like thunder. For rallying I'd definitely check out RBR, if your computer can handle it. For moddability it's probably rFactor in the coming years - unless West Racing suddenly shows up from fairyland ;) Regards, Rudy (GPLRank -24)
GTR LFS RBR Without question on all three. (for me anyway) "Claudio" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Commercial currently available --> GTR (if your pc can handle it...) or GPL (showing its age, but will run on older machines) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Commercial (soon to be available) --> rFactor (I play the demo more than most "complete" commercial games). or LFS S2 (great net code, and improved graphics and physics - but looks like the sound will still be a bit uninspiring) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rally --> RBR (Great physics! But I get lonely playing (racing) with myself :)
RBR is online now though! And RBR is awesome - had it for a week and haven't managed to complete even a stage - GPL part deux for sure, quite a steep learning curve (will i ever learn?!) <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I cannot believe no one has yet mentioned EA's superb Nascar Simracing. The current king of racing simulations without any shadow of a doubt.

Since it is the king of racing sims can you post a list of all the leagues that are currently running it? <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... >I cannot believe no one has yet mentioned EA's superb Nascar Simracing. > > The current king of racing simulations without any shadow of a doubt. >

In the post refering to the history of sim racing Dan Leach wrote: "GPL doesn't get a mention?" To which you replied "Quit flogging a dead horse." The context of that post was relating to the history of sim racing, not what is the best current racing sim. Do you really believe GPL doesn't rate in the history of sim racing? Your next post, some 20 mins later, was in relation to the current best sims. Once again you are the lone voice repeatedly touting EA's NSR as the best thing since sliced bread whilst the jury seems firmly out as to whether this will be patched into something half decent. Hence the irony of repeating your previous post...

Hence the irony of > repeating your previous post... So what are you saying exactly? Is it a crime for me to think that NSR is currently the best race sim out there at the moment?

Certainly not but that is somewhat different to stating it as "The current king of racing simulations without any shadow of a doubt." having just taken a swipe at someone for suggesting GPL has a place in the annuals of sim history...
