You've obviously found ONE kindred spirit here, NOS. Two of you is more than enough, BTW. ;-) JoH ------- The best way to accelerate a Mac is 9.81 m/s2 -------- --------------------------------------------------------------

So... Who has taken the time to check out the latest "F1 Sim" from Edios....a follow up to Officially 'Bad' Formula 1 Racing. The new demo is available at http://www.avault.com/pcrl/ ,but I just can't bring myself to waste my time (60mb) without having heard a single breath about it online anyplace??? Which is really odd because if nothing else I would expect several GPL fanatics to be raking it over the coals...unless - its not even worth that ???

I'll download it and let you know. Should only take about a minute or two. L_NiN0 wrote:

I stand corrected! Their ftp site is VERY slow. Graphics: good, especially in 800x600x32 Sound: good Effects: good But it really is just an arcade game trying to be a sim. Bryon Lape wrote:

I told people it was crap when the demo first came out and then got flamed for not giving it a full review or more than five minutes of my time. F1WGP doesn't need more than five minutes to evaluate. -- Nos

Tried the demo - couldn't get it to feel right no matter how hard I tried. I didn't even think it looked that good. I did actually enjoy OF1GP for a little while but this seems like a step backwards to me. I did quite like the interface though (well, it was a huge improvement over their last effort), and the "in helmet" view was a scream! bod

So true but it does have one thing that makes it interesting,if you cycle through the views you will one from "inside the helmet", using the G forces, kinda fun
