Re: Dave Kaemmer interview on High Gear

Thanks for the link. My favorite part of the interview: F1F: Well how about Papy doing some other type of Formula 1 project? DK: I can't really comment on that. [smiles] F1F: Oh!!!

No, actually I can't wait for the N4 hack that lets us drive on the GPL tracks... at the same time as the GPL cars (I don't ask for much <g> :-) > 'high-downforce car' test <sound of flesh splitting to make way for ear to ear grin> Aww, now look what you've gone and done. I was just settling back into a nice, comfortable flightsim-inspired melancholy about the future. But now I've got all optimistic again. Damn you, damn Kaemmer, and damn Papyrus! <vbg> Andrew "more grin than a clown convention" McP PS I've been wondering about the philosophical validity of the statement: "Kaemmer is the GPL of sim designers". I've a feeling it might contravene several laws of metaphysics, but I'm dying to use it.

Today we have posted F1Filter's world-exclusive interview with Dave Kaemmer, creator of Grand Prix Legends, NASCAR Racing 4, etc. They talk about the development of NASCAR Racing 4, physics in racing sims, Grand Prix Legends and...oh...race accidents. Always interesting...Anyway, here's the obligatory quote. Of course, it doesn't help you much, but that's because you need to check out the interview yourself: "The Godfather of Auto Racing Simulations", as Steve Smith calls him in the GPL Strategy Guide. This was the first thing that popped into my mind as I was following David behind the display booths, trying to find a quiet situation where this interview could be conducted. It's easy to be overwhelmed by the fact that you are about to interview someone that is so highly regarded in the sim racing community. But at that time, my mind was inundated with literally hundreds of questions that I could ask him. My decision was to touch on as many topics as time would allow. Since the N4 project has a bit of development to go, I decided that any specific questions about this upcoming sim (i.e. aerodynamic advantages of a particular car) would have to wait until a later date; as Dave has already agreed to do another interview when N4 nears it's completion." Make sure to especially check out the last couple of pages, but of course the complete interview is really worth reading as well. 9-pages chockful of info.

A little tip to the Interviewer. You have to think on your feet man. DK was about to comment on what I think could be the most important topic in simulator programming and you let him change the subject. For years Ive been hoping for someone like DK to make a race sim with the adaptability of Quake, just a basic engine that could be manipulated to make whatever race type desired. I really would like to have heard DK's thoughts on it too. <snip from interview> DK: It would help a lot. If you look at the GPL community. Reverse engineering the track format. Building tracks, and shipping new cockpit artwork, sounds, and everything else. I think that's important. I think that would be a direction that I would very much like to go. Making it so that, uh, people would really be able to get in and do more with the elements of the sim. But, uh. I didn't see that as your question really. F1F: No, that's basically it. It's an open ended question. You can tackle it however you want. (This is where I would have said "I dont give a shit about the last question tell me everything you can about this direction that you would very much like to go") DK: [visibly intrigued] No really. Your other question about 'what would it take'. I mean. Is it really the case with the flight simulator market that people can rate a game on a scale from 1 to 10. '10' being something that the military would use to train pilots. And '1' is, you know..

Wow, thanks a lot - that's one of the most interesting interviews I've ever read on the web. Great job, you really asked all the right questions! Joe McGinn _____________________ Radical Entertainment

The main question I wanted an answer to is WHERE IS THE RS SHIFTER SUPPORT FOR GPL? Kaemmer claims that he thinks GPL may well ultimately be his favorite sim. I just think that when something is a labor of love that GPL was, it wouldn't kill them to give us the ability to use the same H-Pattern shifter. Heck even the ability to go directly from 5th to 1st or Reverse after spinning out would be worth it alone! The ability to drop 2 gears under braking without having to work down through them would also be huge. Kenneth didn't touch this AT ALL, so alas we still have NO idea why Papy has not done its fanatic followers the small favor of getting us Shifter support. If it's a difficult thing to do, then just say so, Dave! At least then we'd know what's going on.
