I'm particularly peeved by the fact that the rev-counter is not the
"tick-flick" type....which it should be modelled as! Most annoying and
I'm considering taking out a summons!!

I too would of liked a little more feedback from the tyres when braking. As it
is now in the demo it seems as if I can hear if I brake to hard, but not if I
brake to soft. I have the feeling that you get the best braking power if you
dont hear any tyre squelling at all, which means keeping the pressure just a
little bit short of where the tyre squelling kicks in. This would mean that you
either memorize your foot angle for each corner (which seems to be the case with
me) or you pump your brake to keep it near the threshold. Neither of these two
techniques feels very realistic to me. I would rather prefer what Dan suggests,
that the tyre squelling kicks in before I reach maximum traction, thus I could
feel the car through the sound. This would replace the feeling of g-forces very
well in my humble opinion :o).
/Christer, am I way off on this one or what???

From my point of view, Quake is great for what it is, but it's far from
the end all and be all of its genre. If you're simply referring to its
end-user programmability, I'd argue that GPL should *not* suffer the
same tweaking. Tires make sound as they slip across the road surface;
either Papyrus gets this right, or they resolve to fix it. Another way
of looking at it: I'd be more inclined to ask the Goodyear rep for more
grip, even at the expense of sonic warning. (They already did decades
ago that with radials.)
I'm waiting for a good force-feedback wheel to go along with GPL. If
Papyrus did their homework and got this right, we should all be able to
feel the fronts go light and funny just before we run off the track. I'd
build a force-feedback tilting seat cushion if I wasn't so absolutely
certain the Lounge Lizard Larry genre would find better use for it than
racing sims. :) It should be a real kick in the butt, though, if someone
were to allow our lower-body gyroscopes to get into the action. (I don't
dread the slippery streets of winter as much as most.)

Will GPL support force feedback? I'm not so sure that it will...

No.

Didn't think so... thanks for confirming.

(Having fun with headers ^^^ heh).
Actually, in the GPL Manual, you will have an explanation from David Kaemmer
about why there isn't any Force-Feedback option for GPL.
(I actually think that present FF is just not enough old/advanced for what
Papyrus would like to model, as wet weather is also).
