Have very much enjoyed Microprose F1 Grand Prix an my Atari for the last 3 years. And have been able to win every race at level 5. Now i'm buying a P100 PC with 16MB RAM; 1.2MB HD; 256 cache; 4x CD Rom; MGA Millenium card;...runing with Windows NT. So...what should I buy? I love F1 and Indy car. I'm a bit disapointed now that i'm mastering what I have. Is there a really difficult racing sim? One that allows for wing adjustment; brake and gear settings; and tyre choices? I have read a few articles here and it sounds like there is. But after looking in PC Magazines "Top 100 CD Roms" article I noticed the 2 (seemingly) good sims were DOS based. :-( Please let me know what you think would be best. :-) I don't know about the rest of you...but i'm dreaming of the day that we can all race each other in sims...over the net! 8^) Thanks! -- --------------------------------------/\-------------------------------------- ----------------------------/\-----<\/>-----/\---------------------------- -------------------/\---<\/>---~</\>~---<\/>---/\------------------- --------------<\/><\/><\/><\/><\/><\/><\/><\/>--------------

is the best platform to launch from. No processing or memory overheads that a windows platform wastes. Anyway, the best sims at the moment are F1GP and Indycar Racing. NASCAR seems to use a lot of processor time and not get much more out of it(although your spec machine will run it quite nicely). Look at the screen shots from F1GP2 at HTTP//WWW.MICROPROSE.COM and you will be wetting yourself with e***ment. I can't wait any longer. I am already dreaming F1GP2.
