What's new?

I have been away from RAS for a while.. But i can't find an F1 Sim passed F12002, I have read the EA storys.. Papy are no more, I have Nascar 2003, is there is 2004? And of course GPL...... Where did my life go when GPL came out... So is there anything out or on the horrizon? I tried the Race Driver 2 demo and hated it.... Sim racing looks to be in a sorry state at the moment.... Maybe I should dig out ICR2? Or GP2.. As GP4 was also bad.. Scott Green Flag Racing www.green-flag.com scott at Green-Flag.com

F1 Challenge '99-'02 is the latest F1 sim. I guess it's about a year or so old. Pretty good. Better than F1 2002. Includes four complete seasons from 1999 to 2002 and a 2003 season is available online. 2004 should be out "soon". I think EA lost the rights to the F1 license so there'll be no more EA Sports F1 sims. NASCAR Racing 2003 is the lastest and last Papy sim. Sierra lost the NASCAR license to EA and it seems some of the Papy staff have defected to EA for development of their next NASCAR game/sim. Plenty of life left in NR2K3, though. CTS, Busch, Trans-Am, The Pits Touring Cars, Winston Cup 1988 mods are all available and more are on the way. GTR is the next big thing in sim racing. Download the Press Demo and see for yourself. Includes Spa and two cars: the Lister Storm and the Morgan Aero8, in an unlimited test session. No AI or multiplayer though. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =---

"it seems some of the Papy staff have defected to EA for development of their next NASCAR game/sim." Pure speculation, but if it's true lets hope they make it better. "GTR is the next big thing in sim racing. No AI or multiplayer though." Will the finished product have multiplayer. If not, not much good. "Morgan V. Wooten" <[email hidden]> wrote

I don't know how Nascar Thunder 2004 performed online, but it was supposed to have dedicated server support so I would assume that GTR's online capability is some derivative of that. I wonder what the reaction of F1 and Nascar fans will be when they first bring a GTR car in for a pitstop? The average stop for fuel and tires is approximentally 30 to 45 seconds with even more time taken for driver changes. Can you imagine the number of messages we'll see about how Joe-Bob Briggs bought GTR and it's got a bug. He drove into the pits and they crew just stood there till all the fuel was in. :) dave henrie

I thought Racing Legends was the next big thing. Isn't the demo due to be released in 2 weeks? ;)

I'd hope that most of the people buying GTR actually know what GT racing is how and how it differs from NASCAR and other American series. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =---

[snip] I've read in an interview w/SBDT that they've actually completely redone the multiplayer code, including reasonable support for 56k'ers. Could be very good news if it pans out. I'll see if I can find the URL. Kendt
