After many months of honing my skills on GPL, I put RC2000 back onto my
computer. Suddenly it's fun. I don't know if GPL has improved my
reactions, but I am catching problems before they happen. No more bouncing
from one side of the road to the other like a pinball. I find now I am
using the berms here and there (here's a tip - drive in the arcade mode for
a while and you will quickly figure out which berms can be used [to pass the
obnoxious opponents] and which are launching pads). I don't agree that the
car modelling is as horrendous as many claim. Partly it's a question of
which view you select; the bumper cam doesn't properly convey the motion of
the car, whereas the cockpit view is quite good. Still, there's no doubt
it's an "engine" based almost purely on lookup tables, and lacks simple
things like fore-aft weight shift which is even showing up in "arcade"
titles like NFS:Porsche. However, compared to the uninspired Pro Rally 2001
demo I tried on the weekend, the adrenaline rush of RC2000 and the feeling
that one is actually competing on a real rally are unsurpassed. It's also
nice that those sweet graphics manage to fly along at a good rate.
After that lengthy ramble, I'd like to ask which are the "essential" RC2000
downloads? Where is the latest patch?

Patch 6 is available from here :
http://www.simracingnews.com/article.cfm?news_id=1536
and the essential RalWiz program, to get the car feeling exactly the way you
want, you can get from www.bhmotorsports.com .
Enjoy!!!

I re-discovered RC2000 also a month ago. The newest patch makes ik
considerably better, and the ralwiz util is very handy (saves you
messing around with ini files).
This site is very good for all your RC2000 needs:

Are the default setting in the RalWiz program defaults from the game or a
recommended setup change ?
Or put the question diferent can anyone recommend settings to make the cars
feel more realistic on Gravel ??
