Re: Mobil1 Rally Championship

Try it, it's the best rally game since CMR. Forget the arcade mode, the AI is so stupid (why not ghost cars, magnetic Fields ??) The championship mode is great, the graphics are photo-realistics, the FF are very good. Trust me: when i drive a 25 kms (16 miles) run at an average of 140 kmh (95 mph) between rocks and trees, i have a lot more of sensations than drive at 200 mph in a F1 game.

BTW, for all the Rally 2000 owner (Mobil 1): When i select and race in the "Time trial" mode, after i did my best lap at a track, when i re-run on it, i don't know the time difference at every point compared to my best lap. In others games, time trial mode means to fight himself against a ghost car or see the time difference (+ or -) vs your best lap. Is it just me or every version of the game miss this feature ???

It was the first time I had actually the feeling of driving hard through a real landscape while sitting behind my PC. A FF-wheel is almost mandatory, though. Get it, Top-10 stuff.

Only thing - I could never *quite* get the car to feel right....The slightest of turns on the wheel made it turn 90 degrees, it seems, and cornering I found, was too slow. I'm sure it's my fault in incorrect settings of the wheel, so if any of you bright sparks has any suggestions, I'm all ears. -- Colin Harris Bomber Racing: Http://fullspeed.to/Bomber ICQ 25485061 Erwan <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MEdt5.1092$[email hidden]... > Try it, it's the best rally game since CMR.

I was very disgusted wtih the way the wheel affects the car. It seems the car is too sensitive in the middle. And not sensitive enough on the out edges of the wheel. I tried everything 2)Some of the physics feel unreal. 3) The cars just seem too arcadish. ----------- http://surf.to/speedyfast26

>True, the full game is much better than the demo. It nealy made me not buy >it... I nearly passed up on this excellent sim also, due to the overly sensitive controls in the demo. But , I bought it anyways, and I really like it. The graphics are about the most colorful and scenic ever in any racing game. The physics are pretty good, especially considering how much more complex off road terrain is than smooth road courses are, it must be pretty difficult to simulate from a programmers standpoit without doing a little fudging on the physics modeling. It is basically solo racing, so you have to get used to that in order to enjoy it. I usually race against my self in two player alternating mode, and I use 2 different classes of cars to see if I can do as well with a slower car.

Download and install the patch which fixes this (and many other things)? 8-) *Peter* - http://www.cix.co.uk/~peterpc/home.html

Cheers, Peter, but I have the patch and still the turning seems "wrong"....as I said, if there's any fiddling or twiddling to be done I can't wait to hear what it is. I really, really want to play this game lots, but can't get over the too-sensitive steering. -- Colin Harris Bomber Racing: Http://fullspeed.to/Bomber ICQ 25485061 > > > Only thing - I could never *quite* get the car to feel right... > Download and install the patch which fixes this (and many other things)? > > 8-) > > *Peter* - http://www.cix.co.uk/~peterpc/home.html

Hey! I used to do that in GP2! Running both cars in a team to get the constructors champioship... Cool! Thomas BTW: Does anyone know how to change the Re: prefix Outlook Express applies when responding?

I don't know if that will help you, but in the "setup area", before a run, there are a "steering sensivity" option. Just try a value near the "low" corner. When i do that, the car is hard to steer. Colin Harris <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : xVyt5.7622$[email hidden]...

>True, the full game is much better than the demo. It nearly made me not buy > it... Ditto!!! I held off because the demo was un-driveable, but the full game is a blast... The only downside is that their all circuits in England.. No variety like games such as CMR and Rally Masters... Still the best graphics of ANY rally game I've seen, and a LOT of features..
