Wow. I just got this thing its damn impressive and good handling for
once. I only played for 5 min or so so far but wanted to let everyone
know about it. I'll post more soon.
Its 20mb.
Go get it(gp500.zip) at:
http://www.ascaron.com/german/products/gp500/startgp.htm
or www.3dfiles.com has it too

Yes it's pretty good. I was surprised.
The only bad point is the controller issue. You can't remap any functions.
If Ascaron doesn't think that many of us have pedals on Joystick 2 I won't
buy it.
How can companies like Microsoft, Codemaster and now them do that, it's out
of my mind.

On one hand, it isn't
extremely arcadey like most motorcycle games are, but on the other
hand, the physics modeling is so forgiving you'd think it was fly-by-wire.
After all, you wouldn't take an F1 sim very seriously if there were no
consequences for flooring the gas too early coming out of a turn or slamming
on the brakes going into one, right? Likewise, I can't take this game
seriously either. One of the most important skills a real-world racer has
(both in an F1 car and on a GP bike) is throttle modulation, and unless
there's an option I'm missing somewhere, you can be just as reckless
throwing the joystick around to the stops in GP500 as in Psygnosis F198
(maybe more!) without any consequence more serious than understeer.
What I wouldn't give to see Papyrus do a WSB sim with the Nascar3/GPL
engine adapted to two wheels... <sigh>

newsgroup, my apologies - I just want to see a real motorbike SIM : )
