What, you're not a buddhist?! ;) About those microswitches, I needa builda sequential shifter like yours. Got a few lying about the shop Goy? /Matt -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

Hmm..it's not bad. Very vague handling though. Certainly no GTR2002.....

Nope, but I'll ask my brother if he can "misplace" a set like the one I got :-) Btw, you wouldn't happen to have a Holden Commodore lying about would you, I need to take some measurements for a project :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

Yea but when it boils down to it its still a crappy engine. I'll take a halfass mod on a papy engine over a great mod on the isi engine any day (not that tptcc is halfass; its awesome) "jason moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

If you put a higher priority on controller setup and multiplayer then there's no question that a Papy engine is preferred but physics are the key to realism in my book. Bottom line is that TPTCC doesn't simulate the physics of a touring car as well as GTR 2002 or Netkar or LFS.

No plans, my brother have them in his head :-), I'll try to see if I can get a few good pics though, but it's dead simple to make since it's a "sequential" shifter and not an H-pattern It's nothing more than a block of nylon as the base, a "stick" and two micro switches, the stick pivots around an axle about 2/3 rd's into the block and the switches are attached to the very bottom of the block where the end of the stick protrudes by .5", we put the pivot of the stick relatively low so that the "hand end" was longer then the "switch end" to give it a little bit of travel It's one of them constructions that make you go "Doh" when you see it as you realize how simple it can be done, I bought myself an Act-Labs shifter to compliment it as somehow it doesn't feel right to run Cup cars, T/A cars and AussieV8's with a Seq. shifter :-), we'll see how it works out when I get settled into the new place Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

Steve... LFS has touring cars now? (and I mean the v8 powered mustangs and and vettes?) or does LFS just emulate hopped up Street Vehicles? How can you compare the 2? "Steve Simpson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bqo9tm$24599q$[email hidden]...

The single biggest weakness of the Papyrus mods is also the single biggest strength of the ISI mods. With Papyrus, you can have several different body styles but underneath they all drive and sound the same. This is NOT a problem with series like Nascar or Aussie V8's where you just don't have much variety. But the Sportscar classes are nothing but variety, and there the ISI mods trounce the Papyrus releases. If you built a Porche 993 and an Audi R8 and put them in the Papyrus model, the two cars would sound and drive the same. (that kinda has a novel appeal tho...imagine blasting down the Mulsaane in your 993 and passing the R8!) The ISI mods can have almost any number of different sounding, and different driving vehicles on track together. But here too there is a weakness in the ISI mods...I'm not aware if F1 C can track multiple groupings of cars in the same race for Scoring purposes. By that can you run a GTR type event with two separate classes of vehicles and have the computer keep track of points and finishes for both groups...Most likely you'd have to save the results screen and award points manually. Don't get me started about night lights, brake lights, etc etc. Having said all that...guess which mod I'm drivng right now and which series I'm rejoining starting this Friday...:) dave henrie
