Yeah, I agree, I will buy the game for the formula fords alone, it's great fun. After playing online tonight I would say this definately needs mirrors though. (promised in a patch by codies) And there were the usual idiots who thought driving the wrong way was fun :-<

If anyone is interested there is also an Xbox TRD2 demo on the cover disk for the current Official Xbox Magazine. The demo has Laguna Seca and supports both single player and multiplayer on Xbox Live.

By chance have you got your controller setup ok? I can't get it to recognize my Momo wheel. Also is there a cockpit view? I honestly don't have ANY faith that codemasters has ANY clue about sims. I hope I'm wrong cause it does look pretty. Mitch "AD" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:c5mr1p$spd$[email hidden]... > http://www.bhmotorsports.com/RDRIV2/downloads/2900 > > AD > >

Of sorts, no steering wheel, arms/hands or working gauges but there is a first person viewpoint. Hit "C" to change the camera, I think. > I honestly don't have ANY faith that codemasters has ANY > clue about sims. I hope I'm wrong cause it does look > pretty.

I'm not sold on PRD2, probably not getting it until we see if the mirror patch ends up being vaporware, but it is a vast improvement over their other titles. The controls still suck ass - why can't every sim just have a simple menu where you assign controls, select driving aids, and choose a linearity between 0 and 100 for the wheel. It's so simple, and it works flawlessly. Jason

It's not hardcore, but it's fun. Once they add mirrors it's basically LFS with real cars/tracks, which isn't bad. The netcode seems solid, altho 12 cars is a serious limitation. Also the collision detection seems kinda iffy. Jason

That's one thing that is backwards with say F1C -- to change options you must leave the track, make the change, and reload the track. And F1C doesn't load tracks quickly at all... jess curious... -bpb

The graphics are absolutely jaw-dropping on Xbox - haven't seen the PC version. There's still no realism in the physics...e.g. the cars still get wildly airborne at Bathurst but it's a good, fun game and a massive improvement over the first one.

You can't honestly tell me the physics are on a par with LFS.

It isn't on par. It has it's good moments, but there's something wrong about it. The Formula Fords are the most convincing ones. The V8 cars, I can't honestly tell if their FWD or RWD in the game. And the same problem as in F1C in low speed corners extists too; ie drive slow in a corner and turn the wheel fully and you'll spin out at least 180. It's like the game decides that you don't have any contact with your rear tires and the asphalt anymore. What more? Well, you can drive around and rub in the Formula Fords. Imo that should end in disaster as the wheel touches, but it doesn't. Maybe it will be better, but it doesn't feel not totally convincing as it is.

Wow - after waiting in line for 98 minutes and a 34 minute download. I wasn't impressed. The graphics were awesome, but game play felt like I was playing a ps2 game.

lol Yeah i went back in and changed the settings to PRO. Felt alot better. There were also a few bugs: 1 I couldn't use my current game spy ID. Had to create a new one. 2. The wheel settings do not save when the game is shut down. So every time I start the demo I have to set up my wheel. 3 When thumbimg through the Quick Game menu the game usually crashed after the 4th or 5th click. (when clicking on next race) "J�rgen Sundvor Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Mon, 19 Apr 2004 00:12:58 GMT, "news.verizon.net" > <[email hidden]> wrote: > > >The graphics were awesome, but game play felt like I was playing a ps2game.
