EA's Sports Car GT Website up

www.sportscargt.com They tease by having a link to the 21MB demo, but it isn't there yet. However, you can dl the 8.5MB video. Reports on other websites indicates the playable demo may be out by this weekend (hoping).

April 7th according to EB World.EA has the final gold copy,www.imagespaceinc.com,the developers site says it's finished.I can't wait!!!!

Hopefully, this won't be the piece of ***that NASCAR Revolution was. -- Brendan =========================================== If you think you have all the answers, you haven't thought of all the questions... =========================================== >>Thanks!

I played the Demo. No in-car view (why do companies insist on not giving us a realistic in-car view?). I just can't get into this 'bumper-cam' arcade stuff... -Larry > April 7th according to EB World.EA has the final gold > copy,www.imagespaceinc.com,the developers site says it's finished.I can't > wait!!!!

From EA? Are you kidding? I played the Demo. I'ts MUCH, MUCH better than NasRev, but it's no Viper. Also, no in-car view. That sucks. -Larry > What I am dreaming of is that it will have an - option - for a physics > model that rivals Viper Racing.

>Also, no in-car view. That sucks. RTFRM! :-) Bumper view, 2x F4 for incar view. Remco

>Press F4 twice. Voila,***pit! You mean "Voila, a picture of a***pit pasted onto your screen". ;-) Joe

>Joe, I have a -moving- picture of a***pit. It has gauges -moving- >and stuff. Maybe you got a bad download. How about the***pit itself? On my system it just sits there, no hint of suspension or cornering forces. I'm kind of disappointed in SCGT overall. It doesn't seem to do anything really badly, nor anything really well. Graphics, physics model, gameplay, force feedback support - all are adequate. I would be more impressed if it really shined in at least one area. Maybe I'm missing something? Joe

Does your chasis flex *that* much? So, what's yer point? :-) Do you mean raise the max rpm to be at least as high as that of the cars in the game or increase the size physically? Obviously, I think they need to do the former, and would like to see the latter too. Plus, a gear indicator. Heck, a larger spedo while I'm asking.

Well, i see car leaning into corners and also the rear end wag when you are at limit. Tho it may just be me. The Panoz does not lean too much but the M3 and trainer do. Dave

Try the M3, it has pretty pronounced body roll, also try looking at the car from one of the TV views when you are close to the camera. The physics are pretty accurate, I've been involved in racing for over 15 years and I think part of what we're experiencing is the dramatic difference in technology from GPL to SCGT. These cars DO stick, however if you heat the tires too much they will go away on you. Having said that, I agree the***pit and the graphics need some work but that should be cleaned-up by the time it goes gold. I also hope they will give us the ability to view replays from inside the game (at least in pratice mode).

It's there buddy, hit number 1 on the main keyboard that will put you "inside" the hit F4 twice to bring-up the dash.

You never saw the GP2***pit move...?! Cheers! John

>I'm kind of disappointed in SCGT overall. It doesn't seem to do >anything really badly, nor anything really well. Graphics, physics >model, gameplay, force feedback support - all are adequate. That, for me, sums up SCGT in a nutshell. It's...."nice", but at a time when "nice" isn't that impressive anymore. What I'd really like to see is something akin to Gran Turismo, a bit tougher, more emphasis on realism, and with the GPL driving engine. Then I could race my 900hp Skyline online :-) Cheers! John

Pretty sure I did this, but I will check again. Thanks! -Larry > RTFRM! :-) Bumper view, 2x F4 for incar view.

I will try this. Thanks! -Larry > It's there buddy, hit number 1 on the main keyboard that will put you > "inside" the hit F4 twice to bring-up the dash.

Again, thanks for the tip. I'll try that. Thanks! -Larry > Press F4 twice. Voila,***pit!

What I mean is that they are static 2d images, but they can move in their environment. Per example in N2 the "3d engine" behind the***pit will move depending on the acceleration/braking. The same goes for Grand Prix 2 I think, no ? -= Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -= NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -= SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -= Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -= May the Downforce be with you...

>What I'd really like to see is something akin to Gran Turismo, a bit >tougher, more emphasis on realism, and with the GPL driving engine. >Then I could race my 900hp Skyline online :-) Hell, I'd just like to see it excel in ONE area (graphics being the least important). For example, if it had great physics or great force feedback I would probably get it. Joe
