Look BigBen why dont you stick your unrequested opinions on users, to RSC? Who knows maybe you get some promotion there.

Wow, usually Kid waits until I've posted to start exploding, I guess he's gotten more proactive since the last time we crossed paths?

Way late to the game here, but I've been really enjoying R2P, and wishing LFS was a part of it. I get a grin out of the conversations about who turns a profit.....I've paid cash to LFS twice, and to R2P zero times.

LFS is my favorite sim, but it's also the one I drive the least. The barriers to entry are too high for me to join a league (a criticism of me, not league workaholics!), the pick up races aren't what I'm after, and the single player doesn't do it for me at all. but the feeling of driving the cars....ahhhhhh, bliss.

Race2Play streamlines or removes all the barriers to entry that I'm confronted with. The one race I've been a part of was simply brilliant. I signed up with a click, had a populated server for doing online practice for a few days, and race day was slick and smooth, with track marshels ensuring that everybody knew what they were doing (a big issue for me, since I often find I don't know what I'm doing, and I'm terrified of screwing other folks up because of my ignorance).

So now I'm in an odd position. I'm eagerly awaiting the next series that starts in my time slot, even though it's not a sim I really like to play. I really wish it was LFS.

when i bought the ORIGINAL logitech force feedback wheel it came with a pretty good sim racer. i don't remember the exact name........GT racing perhaps, no, that's not it........ damn......... it had real tracks and real cars. i think there were 3 levels of cars to progress through. though i don't rememebr how much set up you could do to the car.

Sports Car GT (SCGT) I bet.




ISI has produced a long line of modable sims that started with SCGT (although it's physics aren't exactly hard core sim) and currently ends at rFactor.

I'll file that away for when someone says "you should all be interested in NASCAR". I didn't see anyone say it in this thread though. ;D

forgive my ignorance, but what is N2003? oh, wait a minute, nascar 2003? if it's nascar (isn't nascar already an acronym? heheheh) that you're saying has such wonderful physics then it doesn't interest me. i NEED NEED NEED to turn right and do some hard braking from time to time.
