MGPRS2, am I really bad?

Maybe a stupid question, but is it possible to do a quick lap without the sliding sound in every corner? Its like driving in GPL (not really,but almost). I have just had this game a few days so maybe it is me how are bad. I can drive Silverstone in 1 27 but then its a terrible sliding through many curves.

I have the same problem. I can't get within about 7-8 secs of the lap record I have only had it 1 week but I think it's a ***game. GP2 is much better It doesn't feel right. Like I'm driving a hovercraft Maybe Ubisoft should do a hovercraft racing sim Tony >Maybe a stupid question, but is it possible to do a quick lap without the >sliding sound in every corner? >Its like driving in GPL (not really,but almost). >I have just had this game a few days so maybe it is me how are bad. >I can drive Silverstone in 1 27 but then its a terrible sliding through >many curves.

MGPRS2 is not a ***game, it just seems like sour grapes to me as you can't seem to do very well in it! I mean, 7-8 secs ... you need some serious practice my friend. Iain >I have the same problem. I can't get within about 7-8 secs of the lap record

I agree Iain, it's a fantastic game with awesome graphics. This game is an improvement over F1RS. It's funny that the included editors since they couldn't get the F1 license. -Rod >MGPRS2 is not a ***game, it just seems like sour grapes to me as you can't

I didn't know that, Interesting. No doubt, it takes a lot of "Pounds"....err "Euros" for that license. It's pretty amusing that in the License Agreement they mentioned not altering the game like F1RS..i.e. teams, use of logos etc., then they provide us with editors. I kind of laughed when I saw that. Iain i'm having a problem with sound cutting out. Are you having sound problems? Thanks, -Rod

I'm using the Creative Labs PCI 128 sound card. It has the latest drivers. I now know when the problem happens. If I switch to external views the sound cuts out. If I stay with the in car view the sound never cuts out. Thanks, -Rod

I haven't tried GPL yet. I've heard both good and bad. I'll probably get it pretty soon. My problem is the ERA of the game 60's cars. You know i've been reading a lot of post regarding the different current F1 games. It's amazing to me how some find fault with some games and others will find fault with another. I know GP2 was pretty good for it's time. It did some things pretty good and it did some things not so good. I've found in life there never will be the perfect game, automobile etc.. -Rod

I agree with you Ronald. One mans game is another mans sim. I think MGPR2 is quite enjoyable, with great graphics and I only paid $19.95US. I liked F1RS and MGPR2 is an improvement over the first. I remember the reviews of the first game. How F1RS was the new F1Racing King, and move over GP2. That;s why I bought the game. Sure it wasn't perfect but it was fun. One of the nice things about the game is how can bring it up to date. [link lost in import] -Rod >> I have the same problem.

True. I've tried F1RS and MGPRS2 and I -still- think GP2 is the best. It's interesting to note on the GPL box that there is a quote which goes "The finest racing sim since GP2" or somesuch. I guess Papy never rated F1RS either! Cheers! -- Graeme Nash http://www.karisma1.demon.co.uk ICQ# 11257824

One of my problems with GP2 were the flat tracks. The visuals in F1RS and MGPR2 are quite nice. Another problem I have with some of these "ultra realistic" games is the lack of feedback you get. This is not a knock against them just reality. Trying to drive a computer car on a screen without the feedback of wind, noise, engine vibration, and actual g-force placed on the body, makes these games hard to get into. I feel the same way about flight sims. One game that is really fun to play is F1 World Grand Prix for the N64. -Rod

Yes Iain, please let me know, how to disable it. Also can you help me with importing new sound files using Rene Smit v1.5 sound editor? All the sound files say to set to "external". When I do this I can't get the sound in the ***pit, in external view it works just fine. If I use the "bank" option the game takes me back to the desktop.

You missed the point Tommy. Your right it's a game like GP2, F1RS, Nascar 99, GPL, Viper etc, etc. They are all games, based on entertainment. It's not like any of these games will turn you into Michael Schumacher just by playing them. I have yet to see a top GP2 gamer turn pro just by playing the game.
