First drive of CPR trial.

you mean the physics of GP2 not ICR2

says... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Look in the menus...remove all of the helps like braking shifting, etc. ther is also another box for more realistic driving... -- -- Mike's Nascar World http://www.gate.net/~mpete/ Stop on by, what can it hurt? (remove nospam to reply)

Hi,

>>Well so far I am less than impressed. I was hoping for a sim with the >>graphics of Moto racer and the physics of ICR2. CPR seems to be the exact >>opposite. Using D3D at 640x480 I see less track detail than in ICR2. If this >>program is accelerated , then it is only just. >> Todd. >you mean the physics of GP2 not ICR2 Don't ya think if he meant gp2, he would have said gp2? Maybe it was a typo. <g> As for Cpr, i think it has great potential. The sound, interface, and garage options are excellent imo. But the driving model makes it too twitchy at speed, and too unresponsive at low speed imo. I spent the whole day yesterday trying to hone a setup that would get me thru the corkscrew without the car feeling like a mac truck, all to no avail. I was still of the mind that it was a setup problem till i read John Wallace's review of it elsewhere on the ng, which i think nails it.... Oh well, just when I thought M$ was gunna pay me back for all the "blue screen's of death" <g>.....But the good news is i pick up my p233-tx2 m/b tomorrow,<bg> then it's back to dos for me. <g> Phil

Abels you might want to check out The APEX at http://www.quiknet.com/~joja/ It has lots of setups for Laguna Seca which make the car feel great and fast. I would especially recommend Sasa's setup for Laguna. He has a fast time and the car turns in very well at the corkscrew and turn 11. You might want to also make sure that you are not trail braking into these corners. Sometimes staying on the brakes into these corners will cause the car to push real bad. There are also recommended configurations for steering wheels to make the steering feel better. John snip

Just a reminder - the <default> setups for each track are very average - we recommend you develop your own, use the <sample> file(s) included in the garage drop-down list or go to some of the superb sites now supporting CPR:- http://www.quiknet.com/~joja/ or http://members.home.net/getzen/ Just like the real thing, a good setup makes all the difference. There are some great articles on steering setups too. <snip>
