I followed thru on one of those just to see what the catch was - after much BS they claim to be broke and need you to forward them money for the legal expenses (for anyone that wondered) |

Mind you, why should someone who gets to do the real thing worry about sims? I thought it was interesting to read, just the other day, that both Williams and McLaren both have simulators for their drivers. As a way of raising money, I wouldn't be surprised to see these teams get into the racing simulator (for the masses) business in the not too distant future. I suppose atm it's a matter of not giving it to the other teams, but as other teams end up with effectively the same thing, we might see some fruit from this. Maybe even one that combines the best elements of them all released by the FIA? Dream on..................... I'd imagine the track modelling must be literally inch perfect! Bet the sim isn't half bad either! |

Also realize, Almost all f1 teams simulate the race dozens of times between each event to finalize strategies and produce baseline setups before they get to the track. But these simulations are all done in a non graphical way. You might as well be looking at a heart monitor. Everything is traces and text...no 3d car zooming around a bumpy or not-bumpy 3d circuit. |

Oh, I highly disagree.
I highly enjoyed SCGT. The others were a waste of my time. -Larry "jason moyer" > wrote in message ups.com... > Larry wrote: >> Re-Issue of SCGT?

Sims aren't as effective in teaching you how to drive, given the differences in visual vs. visceral inputs, etc. Their strength is providing an environment to improve one's racecraft, strategy, etc., IMHO. -jde |

Hmmmm, in an article at Williams in the news section titled "Good preparation is crucial" it specifically says the drivers are learning the lines via this sim. It says atm only Williams and McLaren have such a system. It is still there - if you hurry you might catch it b4 it is snipped. |
