Well I've been playing what I consider the best driving simulation ever,(it is just my opinion so don't get all upset about it) Sports Car GT for a while now. Then just today I decided to download the lastest patch, even if I thought it wasn't necessary. The new patch improves the AI so much that I think that SCGT with the patch is almost a new game. There are also a lot of other new features, and fixes to bugs that I haven't notice but to see the main improvement you have to race with other cars, and after u ahve done that with the new patch u will be thinking you are playing SCGT2 Schumacher
Which patch did you download? Is it the one that models car damage?
. Then just today I decided to download the lastest patch, even if This is not an so-called official patch from EA or ISI. It is an independent project so I wouldn't really call it a patch of that kind. The only thing the fix does is enable visual damage. From what the readme says it does nothing else. It doesn't mess with the AI, nor does it add "a lot of other new features", etc. In other words it is the same SCGT (a good game nevertheless) with one feature added, nothing more. To say it is like playing SCGT2 is absurd. Alanb

From the contents of his post, it is readily apparent that the "latest" patch that he used was 1.551 and not the visual damage.

Consider this, if you will. First, the patch has been out for a long time now. Second, his post came right on the heels of the visual damage patch. One would think that if someone is so found of SCGT (as I am, to be sure) then the long-ago released patch would've been downloaded when released and not a month or so later. So I don't see how you can say it is "readily apparent" that what the original poster was talking about was the patch and not the visual damage hack. I think that something like "I downloaded the 1.551 patch and what a difference it makes" would have been clearer. No big deal: imprecice posts lead to confusion. I just wanted to clarify just exactly what the person was referring to with the mention of release of the "newest" patch, which was released some time ago. Alanb
