Decisions, decisions. All 3 of these are looking to be great but I can't get all 3. GTR is out now and I'm tempted to get it cause I'd really like a new racer to add to RBR but the racing in that game is very specific and has high end 'on the edge' cars. Any word on when rFactor or S2 might be out for purchase?

Well, I do have a PS2 but I'm a bit pissed off at GT4 right now cause they specifically programed the game to NOT allow the PC Momo wheel to work. I'll just have to wait for a real racer.

Yeah, if GT4 supported a momo I'd buy it but I think I'll give it a miss. It still seems to suffer from all the problems of the previous games in the series anyway

" Really flightless? That doesn't seem to be what you have been saying. Let's review: 1. "You want an apology from EA for producing the finest Nascar simulaton to date?" - Feb 19 2. "...for producing the finest, all encompassing and most comprehensive NASCAR racing simulation to date." - Feb 22 Now, admittedly your comments were in regard to NSR. However, your use of superlatives (absolute best & without question) leave little room to wiggle. So, is it NSR or GT4?

Ooops! I missed this gem from our resident expert: "There is simply no comparison, EA's new title sets the standard in every area imaginable and is the new definitive Nascar simulation. Go and read some of the 90%+ reviews which are overflowing with praise." - Feb 21

How come you pick the WORST Sims to tout as the best thing on the planet? They really don't need your help :) -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > If you want the absolute best racer out there right now then it is GT4 > without question. >
Flightless seems to have never experienced Papy's 2 year old NR2003 and it's many mods. Even at 2 years old it's very hard to beat with all the after market development and continuing community involvement. NSR is a toy compared to it. Darus wrote:

I'm saving my money for rFactor because it won't use Starforce.

And what kind of immersive single player racing experience does NR2003 deliver Niles?

Well, one in which I can lap cars without being black flagged at the first caution. One in which current car models/paint schemes are being used. One that offers me trouble free and FPS friendly gaming with little file manipulation. One that offers a COMPLETE race schedule including ALL the NNC/NBS/CTS tracks correctly displayed thru the end of last season and some even up to LV this week. NSR offers nothing but PROMISE or POTENTIAL or HOPE. It is an unrealized dream. LFS and GTR both are more polished right now.
