James......open minds have nothing to do with it. You are talking about something which appeals to the senses and each of us is different in what we like and dislike. If you like F12K, that's fine; you won't find me trying to convince you not to like it. So it has to be a two-way street and you should appreciate that there are those who *won't* like it, for whatever reason. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- James Pickard <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:23XA4.35407$[email hidden]... > I would consider myself a sim racing expert.

I would consider myself a sim racing expert. I have raced every single sim that has come out and tried to give them all a chance. Yes, GPL is still the king and it will be a while before somthing knocks it off (watch out for World Sports Car). But I think most ppl aren't giving F12000 enough of a try. There are numerous things that aren't perfect and could be improved, but overall I like this sim a lot. Once I started to change the cars setup I really started to be impressed with the cars handling and physics engine. OK, the AI suck.. but online code is pretty good (more than what can be said for GP3). I believe GP3 will be more realistic, but if you give F1 2000 a chance, you will find a very rewarding driving experience. Don't just write it off from what some perfectionists say here. They have valid points, but just take it too the extreme. I won't go into details, but I believe most ppl can work it out for themselves.... Like I've said before: If you are open minded about Sim racing and can appreciate other things not being absolutely and totally perfect, than F1 2000 is for you. If you believe that nothing will ever beat GPL and you don't even want to give anything else a chance if it has a few flaws, then give this a miss. Up to you James Pickard Melbourne, AUSTRALIA
