Hi all, I have seen several posts wanting Papyrus to create graphical hands and a steering wheel. I for one would think that would take away from the realism of the game, since many people invest in a wheel and pedal system. Who wants to be driving with two wheels and 4 hands?!?!? If this IS implemented, it better be an option, I don't see the thrill of driving a car with a joystick anyways. Just my .02. l8r Todd

Oh yeah!!! I agree! Besides, if you look at a real Winston Cup Car, the wheel is chucked right up in your chest so you can use lotsa shoulder strength on it. NO! I like My hands and My wheel just fine. (unless of course the hands had: E L W O O D enscribed on the knuckles!) ;> -- |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| | Later! | | Markmc #35 | | (Closed Beta 8/95) | | http://www.katt.com/mmcars.html | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I also DO NOT want to see a steering wheel on the screen with or without hands on any future driving/racing sims. As best as I can remember, the Indy 500 sim was the first driving sim that did not have a steering wheel on the screen. Why? Becasue it didn't need one. In other sims the wheel is there to show you where your wheels are pointed. With modern day "good" simulations you get that information by the way the car is moving. This is true of all the Papyrus products. I also feel that GP1 didn't need that steering wheel graphic. You could tell what was going on without it. One other point is that having a wheel on the screen is on more graphic that will need to be updated. That will take away from the frame rate without adding any value to the driving experience. Sorry for butting in but I feel strongly about this issue. --
I don,t agree with no steering whell and/or hands as I don,t consider my steering and pedals controls pluged into the PC as a intricate part of the my car on screen.... just a decent means of controlling it... I want as much detail on screen as possible. Your idea for making it an option is best, that way we are all happy. -- Nigel of Lakewood Racing Lakewood Computers New Zealand
