Re: F1 2K or RC2K????

get RC2K, you won't regret it - it's a good game and it even works on simulation level - by the way, the final version of RC2K is much better than the demo they released some time ago, so don't judge the game from the demo experience. Forget F1-2000 - it's a really bad sim and i'm sure that there will be no support for it, EA is happy that so many people buy their unfinished crap and now will move on to F1-2001. cheers, Alex

I feel like buying a new game/sim today which of the above mentioned should I have a go at? Pro for F1 2K: Formula 1, new, F1, AI patch soon Con for F1 2K: Heavy on CPU, crappy AI, Pro for RC2K: Grafix, RS Shifter support Con for RC2K: Steering, Rally Which would you recommend? My system is: Pentium II 450 @ 450 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 256 MB PC100 Ram Act Labs Force RS Act Labs RS shifter -- BR Thomas Soerensen GPL Enthusiast of Denmark http://www.geocities.com/thomas180573/index.html Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

I had almost decided on RC2K - I�m joining this MGPRS2 Lan league - we are 6 guys racing on lan about once a month. So I thought I�d concentrate on that (MGPRS2) untill GP3 comes out. I really like the grafix of RC2K and the support for the RS Shifter - GOD - why did I put myself in this dilemma? I am a rally fan - but more of a F1 fan. I�m not helping myself here - S**T Should I discard the heating bill and get them both? AAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!! In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] (Remco Moedt) wrote:

Hey Thomas, Get them both! <g> Seriously though...since you're a GPL enthusiast I think you'll have more fun driving F1-2000. As a simulation I believe RC2000 is more fun, because F1-2000 doesn't have a F1 feel to me. But it seems you're not a rally fan.... Your system is almost the same as mine (well, I've more RAM :-P), and both will run well, but you've to turn down a lot of options in F1-2000. Remco Thomas Soerensen <[email hidden]> wrote:

Sure, just overclock your system - that takes care of the heating bill and leaves more cash for games! ...Colin French Thomas Soerensen wrote: > Should I discard the heating bill and get them both? >

Yeah nice advice you gave him, French. I think that was just the type of the reply he didn't want to get. Anyway I wouldn't really know cause it's been about 6 months since I've been away from car simulations but I still enjoy playing Sports Car GT a lot.

I ended up getting RC2K Damn what a fine game - the sense of speed is IMHO the best - it even surpasses GPL in this department. And the graphics - WOW. I�m glad I got this one since it seems to run ok on my system. Does anyone know what feature to turn off that gives the biggest leap in FPS - I currently have 15 - 22 fps when driving.

Alex, Although I agree that it is very unfinished, I really dont think its a bad sim, its the best modern GP game about. We have been playing MGPRS2 on LAN since it came out and its handling is appauling compared to F12K. I really think people are being too hard on it, for 9 months work it is an incredible achievment and a very playable game....the physics are excellent. I really can't wait until F1 2001, I think that it will be an absolute corker! Ash PS. Its not a patch on GPL though...lets make that clear ;) Alexander Marx <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8c00up$5k5ir$[email hidden]... | get RC2K, you won't regret it - it's a good game and it even works on | simulation level - by the way, the final version of RC2K is much betterthan | the demo they released some time ago, so don't judge the game from thedemo

Did you get the latest patch? You could reduce the drawing distance with a value in the RAL.CFG.... Remco

I got the patch - and I have made a ral.cfg - what is the line for the draw distance? BR Thomas * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!

patchmaxdrawdistance=xx where xx is a number from 4 to 12.... Don't forget that the RAL.CFG must be in the VAR folder... Remco On Fri, 31 Mar 2000 02:46:45 -0800, Thomas Soerensen <[email hidden]> wrote:
