It shows how far up Papy's backside most of the ppl here were. Papy
die, so does this group. Sims like GTR and Richard Burns Rally don't interest most of the ppl here because a) they simulate proper motorsports with right turns, and b) don't have 'Papyrus' written on the box. Well, it's their loss. Someone said that the reason the group is dying is that everybody's holding out on rFactor, and not enough ppl have GTR. WTF??? GTR is one of the best sims released in the last few years and not enough ppl have it in rec.autos.simulators? Call yourselves sim fans?!? |

Call yourselves sim fans?!? > GTR is one of the best sims released in the last few years - yes. And that's why SFA people are posting here. GTR stinks - just another money spinner that abused the genre. 7 years since GPL was released - the last road racing sim worthy of purchase. The mods for NR2003 being the only thing saving us all from total devastation! Before people jump on the fanatical anti FIRST (iRacing) bandwagon, they should remember this. There was no need for them to even give us pta and cts at all. Not that I think there is a need for the mod bashing they're doing atm though. Sad times really. |

> to pursue, you'd be a moron to discount the effect they had on sim > racing. Oh for sure, and perhaps the most important thing Papy did was to show publishers that you could make money making simulators. Without that knowledge, would we have Richard Burns Rally, for example? > GTR is plagued with bugs and online racing problems (from what > I hear) You don't have it?! This is rec.autos.simulators, not rec.nascar.simulators!! Isn't it worth =A320 to find out? Wouldn't there be more people in this newsgroup discussing simulators, if everybody here actually bothered to go out and buy them? If we (the sim community) don't buy sims, we are telling the publishers that the market isn't there, so that means less sims in the future. > Richard Burns Rally probably doesn't appeal to very many people > (me, for instance). I think this is the major problem. NASCAR the 'sport' to me is extremely boring. Driving round in circles takes a bit of a struggle for me to even understand why people would want to do it, let alone watch it. But Papy's NASCAR sims actually got me interested in watching NASCAR for a bit, last year when it was on Eurosport over here in the UK. Even that utterly stupid Chase thing in the last 10 races still kept me watching the highlight shows. But this season, NASCAR moved to NASN (a subscription service) and I don't miss it. In other words, Papy got me interested in NASCAR for a bit. The only reason I am kinda watching the IRL at the moment is because of Wheldon and Franchitti keeping the British end up ;-) Richard Burns Rally is a phenomenal sim. It requires some driving skills (like left-foot braking) that no other sim has been able to replicate. My argument is: this is a newsgroup for people who like sims, not people who like NASCAR. If you don't like rallying, you should still like RBR on a sim level. It may even provoke your interest in the best motorsport in the world (imo). Just like Papy got me watching a motor'sport' that I wouldn't have touched with a barge pole otherwise. To paraphrase your first comment, "Regardless of how you feel about the style of racing that RBR simulates, you'd be a moron not to at least try it for yourself." |

Great multi, great physics, great graphics/sound...it demonstrates pretty well how far n2003 is ahead of every other engine while also showing what can happen when a skilled mod group works with software that isn't a POS to begin with. |
