I would argue physics about GTL and GTR with you all day compared to rFactor
which is based on what? GTL and Simbin have access to all of the "real
world" data and use it to build the physics engine. Why would Simbin use an
older physics model when they paid to use the new one? Multi with GTR I
would agree was poor, but based on the older engine it was as good as any of
the ISI games from the old version. I have heard nothing but positive
reviews about the multi and rfactor also has 16 as a recommended limit
although it can be tweaked(as can GTL).
The level of detail in the Simbin games/sims blows rFactor out of the
water(not trying to knock it, I bought it). I hold out hope for good mods,
but most of those modders won't have close to the access that simbin has
with the FIA. As for patches, I haven't heard of a great need yet, although
I see a couple of the Bliimey guys on RSC helping with tips now. Who really
knows how that will work out, I sure don't.
