REQ: Superbike resources

I just got this game, and want to take it as far as I can - kinda like to find a forum or two, and I'm eagerly awaiting the SBK2001 update to BHMotorsports. Any fellow bikers out there wanna lend a hand? Thanks guys...

Im keenish. I was a bit dissapointed with the game because of the way the bike wheelspins. Its like F1RS.. either it has full wheelspin or no wheelspin which is totally unrealistic. What update is coming for it.. it should be could either way. Also the vtr1000 needs to have the rc45 sound changed Luke -=87=- Brian Pettett <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I just got this game, and want to take it as far as I can - kinda like to > find a forum or two, and I'm eagerly awaiting the SBK2001 update to > BHMotorsports.

A few questions to add to this, for anyone who knows. I've so far only used the SBK 2000 demo. I like it. What does 2001 add besides new names and faces (Fogarty's the only one I know anyway, as I am a car guy... until now)? OK, umbrella girls as well, I've heard. Is the driving model improved? Graphics? Is the 2001 edition more hardware intensive? I get a good framerate on my PIII-500 notebook (using a graphics chip about on par with an old 8Mb VooDoo2) in SBK2000. cheers Stephen Luke Phillips <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:39ffdd2e$0$28151$[email hidden]...

Season update (inclusing 2001 tracks?), graphics tweaked (still mindblowingly amazing), driving no easier, but controllability and response improved. I get a little slowdown at the start with 25 bikes and nearly everything on @ 640x480 (PIII-450 2xV2 SLI). But otherwise I'd say there was a slight improvement from SBK2000, Rain doesn't really slow procedings either, which is really reamarkable (I think the extra graphic load is catered for by cleverly reducing view depth). AI is exemplary, considering the inherent difficulties. Try the SBK2001 demo and see for yourself. I too would like to know about online resources for this one. Great fun for off line. But for the subject matter and rather poor multiplayer GPL challenging material, IMO. Jan. =--- Stephen Ferguson wrote... > A few questions to add to this, for anyone who knows. > <snip>

Thanks. I didn't know there was a 2001 demo. Stephen Jan Verschueren <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Season update (inclusing 2001 tracks?), graphics tweaked (still > mindblowingly amazing), driving no easier, but controllability andresponse
