RBR CD or DVD

I ordered RBR from www.sendit.com and the website says it's PC-CDROM but I've only heard of it being on DVD. I was wondering if anybody knows if RBR is available on PC-CDROM or not so I can buy a DVD drive before it arrives. --------------------------------------- Thanks, Aaron Markham *RATE MY CAR AT CARDOMAIN.COM* http://www.cardomain.com/id/amarkham *RIP AYRTON SENNA & DALE EARNHARDT*

The official web site seems to suggest that both CD and DVD versions may be available. Be safe buy a DVD drive.

Hi Aaron, I think it's DVD only (the box shot on amazon.de said PC-CDROM, but it turned out to be a DVD-ROM). DVD-only goes along with the min space requirements of 3,2 Gigs nicely, too ;-) Cheers & good luck, uwe -- mail replies to Uwe at schuerkamp dot de ( yahoo address is spambox) Uwe Schuerkamp //////////////////////////// http://www.schuerkamp.de/ Herford, Germany \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ (52.0N/8.5E) GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

Damn, I wanna play that sim NOW, so I'm gonna cancel. But before I buy the German release, I'd like to know if it's multi-language (incl. English) or is it just in German? greetings ronny

Hi Ronny, Installation offers three languages: english, french and german. Make sure you don't have a SiS 735 based mobo or a TSW2 wheel though as there seem to be known problems in those circumstances.

Thanks for the answer, but too late. I just HAD to rush to Mediamarkt and grab it with my sweaty little hands... and it runs on my PC! I hope you get it working on your PC soon, as it's really the GPL of rally sims. And this is not teasing you, just my first impression. ;) l8er ronny

It really is a nice sim with a high fun factor, and I really like the fact that you can choose english navigator language in a german install. Just sounds "righter" than having him waffling away in german ;-) cheers, uwe -- mail replies to Uwe at schuerkamp dot de ( yahoo address is spambox) Uwe Schuerkamp //////////////////////////// http://www.schuerkamp.de/ Herford, Germany \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ (52.0N/8.5E) GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

Good news minus controller config. Why the hell do they always have problems with that? It's really not rocket science, esp. using DirectX. A few axis and a couple of buttons... ;) Well, as most Motorsports, Rally is international -> everybody speaks English. And just remembering the "fine" translations I "enjoyed" over the years in flight sims: yikes! l8er ronny
