Oh there's the update!!! Why is www.west-racing.NET not updated??seems like I've missed quite a few things... maybe other people have too, thinking that they TOTALLY abandoned the project like I did because they went to the .NET site, not the .COM one..

I really, really hope that these guys actually get something out sometime. I keep thinking that the project has finally died but no. Honestly! It's beginning to remind me of Jason. ;o) Elrikk

Yes I agree... I haven't OVERLY been following this project like some people, but this is the first I've heard of them mentioning a physics model and optimization of it. The chassis flex thing sounds amazing, and if implemented, it would definately make things like GPL finally seem quite outdated.

Yes the chassis flex sounds great, but chassis (especially racing chassis) are so stiff that it will need to sample at an extremely high frequency (too high for a realtime racing sim running on a PC). Look at it this way, there has never been an F1 sim with stiff enough suspension and a high enough sampling rate to be realistic. The GPx series used a hack 'em up crappy suspension model to get around the problem, the F1200x series uses artificially soft suspension. And chassis are *much* stiffer than even F1 suspension. It sounds like that's another feature (like the area sourced lighting in the screenshot) which they're developing, and will later have to abandon if they're in any way serious about selling this thing to guys like us.
