Hey, can any of you Germans tell me if the cars actually flip after getting airborn, or do the always land on all fours. How about an honest opinion on how it compares to ICR2 (if you have it).

I have seen screen shots of the cars flipping m8 and they are on my home page. Check em out.

If anyone wants to have a look on the "binaries" group, I will post an AWESOME replay which was sent in by Jan Matthies of CompuServe's F1SA league. He gets into a little fight at Hockenheim about who owns the line into the corner..... Cheers!

I'm British, but I'll answer anyway. I haven't seen one actually flip yet, but they do fly about a bit! When they land, they bounce from wheel to wheel very realistcally. At a guess (although I stand by to be wrong) I would say the physics is up to a true flip, if you hit them hard enough! Soon as I'm done here reading the 'news', I'll drive around the wrong way for a bit, to see what I can do! Paul *********************************************************************** * Paul L.

I just spent about 4 hours with a direct connect to my other machine (P6/200 to a P5/133). I saw some very impressive "stunt" graphics. Cars were totally airborne at times, lots of flipping about, but I did not see a complete loop...yet. You've certainly got to watch out when you do the = old "nudge" trick, I was up on the rear wheel of one CC guy and it was nearly airborne for me. Gotta be more careful with this version and nudges.

When you flip, does the view switch to an outside view as in NFS, or does the view stay in the***pit? -- Regards, -Dirt- ******************************************************************* * Chris Cavin University of Missouri - Rolla * * 101 W 15th St #9 Mechanical Engineering 1996 * * Rolla MO 65401 Go Miners!* *******************************************************************
