Pikes Peak Racing Sim

I am thinking of doing a Pikes Peak Sim, does this sound good to anybody 800hp cars going up the side of the mountain? watch out for the edge? its along way down win the race win money for upgrade with modem and Internet Play

800 hp??? > I am thinking of doing a Pikes Peak Sim, does this sound good to anybody > 800hp cars going up the side of the mountain? > watch out for the edge? its along way down > win the race win money for upgrade > with modem and Internet Play

Millens Toyota Has 900+hp at bottom of hill and is lucky to make 500 hp at the top. Also since the hill climb is a timed event and you race the clock how woulc you make online play like the real thing, and how do you simulate the effect of altitiude on horsepower.

I know it will be a lot of work, but I feel it can be done, just the way you simulate in flight sims the performace of the airplane at higher altitude, and for the modem play you would just have to wait your turn like the real thing, or if you feel brave challenge someone to a head to head race.

I'm at the Long Beach Grand Prix this weekend. In the Expo, Toyota has Rod Millin's Pikes Peak winning truck on display, an I use the word truck loosly. The***pit looks like a Champ Car and if you lowered the ride height a bit and slapped on some slicks, the thing could run Le Mans<g>. A sim of the Peak would be a blast, how 'bout Pikes Peak Legends, I'd love to drive an old Miller up the hill! -don

I think this would be GREAT! You could have different classes, just like in real life -- the variety of entries is almost limitless (including old Indy cars with absurd wing and wheel combinations!).

A challenge, yes, but it would be a blast -- like drag racing uphill with turns! <G> -- JB On Sun, 18 Apr 1999 01:23:01 GMT, Morris Jones Jr

Does anyone now of a video of a run up Pikes Peak I can D/L anywhere Joe_Blow Icq 6712911

It sounds great but just remember of the quality of Gpl. Accept nothing less. > I am thinking of doing a Pikes Peak Sim, does this sound good to anybody > 800hp cars going up the side of the mountain? > watch out for the edge? its along way down > win the race win money for upgrade > with modem and Internet Play no_spam.n2rif1.vcf < 1K Download

Hi Morris, I hate turn based games. Instead of waiting your turn, you could all race at the same time, but alone. You could put ghosts of the other cars on everyones screen. This way one hill climb takes 10 minutes not 50 minutes with 5 drivers. I know the ghosts aren't relistic, but it would be an appropriate trade off. Even GPL has trade offs like double-clutching for us. Come to think of it, lag would not longer be an issue! Very interesting.

The ghost car is a good idea,Thanks, Thanks for all the feed back, any other ideas would be appreciated. I know it will be a lot of work and research to make it as accurate as possible, but hey, thats how all software companies start. I have a lot of ideas for this and future sims as well. Imagine 4 wheel drift in the dirt on the edge, its going to be fun. I hope to put up a web page in a month or so when things get going. Anyone got ideas for a name for this. I was thinking of Pikes Peak the Challenge
