Returning reader asks what happened to new sims

Bart Brown returned after a long absence and asked whether the West brothers had released anything and whether there had been new sims since NASCAR Heat. Replies listed NR2002, F1 2002, Rally Trophy and the Live for Speed demo, and explained that World Sports Cars had been cancelled and the Wests were now working on Racing Legends. Old regulars welcomed him back with banter.

Well, me buckos, I've been away from RMS for quite some time (no, not prison....). Am I to understand that: A. The West brothers have STILL not laid their golden egg? B. There are essentially no new sims since NASCAR Heat? What in the wide, wide world of sports is a-goin' on here? Bart Brown

Papy released NASCAR Racing Season 2002 in February. There is a big difference between N4 and N2002, particularly in tyre management. The car handling feels a lot better too. IMO N2002 is currently the best sim available. EA released F1 2002 which is the best modern F1 sim available. There are also a number of mods available for F1 2002,. See http://www.simmods.com for more details. GP4 was also released but you don't want to go there. Live for Speed has been released as an early beta.

Thanks to all for the answers. So WSC, as gorgeous-looking as it was (screenshots, anyway), is Tango Uniform? Pity. Hello to all my ex-correspondents... Bart Brown
Add in Rally Trophy too as a new sim post NH. -Tim "Phil Lee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:amsjno$8ubjb$[email hidden]...

Hey Doug, at least you are finally admitting that there is no such thing. :-) Hell, I'm trying to become the best sim racer there ever was, but I seriously doubt that's going to happen... "Doug Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:AUok9.10478$J47.872032@stones...

Nice to see that you still remember how to get online, we've heard from Bruce K in the not too distant past, hell even Byron Forbes dropped in on us a couple of months ago, with a bit of luck you guys will drop in at approximately the same time and we can get some decent discussions going on, you can handle the grammar and spelling, Byron can be in charge of the verbal abuse and Bruce can be in charge of the sheep dip Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "A man is only as old as the woman he feels" --Groucho Marx--

LOLOL We have a very good TV show over here which translated would be called something like "The news again", which is a panel of 5 people with the gift of gab who "analyzes" recent news, one of which said that he thought that GWB could wage a war against any county he felt like as far as he was conscerned......as long as he could find it on a map......not very nice of course, but pretty funny :-) I'm glad I'm not in the news much with people like that around :-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "A man is only as old as the woman he feels" --Groucho Marx--

I thought Teddy Bears were required to make some eggs :)
>"Bart Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote > I've been away from RMS for quite some time r *M* s???? ;) > A. The West brothers have STILL not laid their golden egg? Yes they will now, with the soon release of their Teddy Bears. Awwwwww they are so cute!! > B. There are essentially no new sims since NASCAR Heat? Papyrus released two Nascar simulations using the GPL game engine. Nascar Racing 2002 being the last one and probably the most solid racing sim on the market.
