That probably is the main problem with GTR for most of us, yes.

OK. Thanks.

Two separate secret codes to be typed in, the aforementioned crap
installed on my computer, and STILL I'm required to have the CD in the
drive to play. Wow, could you make it a little more inconvenient please?

This is the fifth computer that I have built. Every other game works just
fine. Controller issues aside, from what I can tell, GTR is an arcade game,
not a simulator. Back to GPL.
Just maybe, you are a wise ass brit ******.

You say that as if you consider it a bad thing ?

Ouch! gosh that hurt!

My, my, your parents must be so proud?

And if you really must resort to foul language as an alternative to
reasoned argument, then at least try to get your prose correct. If you
insist on using English (British) terms such as ******, then you should
also use "arse" rather than ass (which is an American term).

You are the one who took the first swipe at me. So, kiss my arse.

graycat - I'm not questioning your expertise. But few people have the
problems with GTR that you do. It's far from an arcade game, and the
physics are far superior to GPL, as they should be after all these
years. Among many other things, the modeling of the tracks surface and
the cars realistic response to bumps are awesome compared to GPL's
rough approximations.

So, no offense intended, it appears that you have a systems problem of
some sort. GTR is well worth sorting it out. I've spent many hours
running GPL but I can't run it any more, the errors in the physics
drive me nuts. Unrealistic response to setup changes (particularly the
Lotus), unrealistic responses to too rapid control inputs, fast setups
that are unrealistically low etc. etc. If you run GTR cars too low,
they bottom out and unload the tires over bumps. They even slow down
due to the drag. Responses to setup changes are sensitive and
realistic. Feed the wheel in too fast and you'll jerk one end or the
other loose.

If you've only tried the old GTR demo, maybe that's the problem. You
could try posting your problem he

It's a large and active forum.

And there was me, thinking that I was giving you some constructive
advice?

Hardly anyone else in the sim community is having the same problems you
are, and yet you slate GTR in the same breath that you state you have
just built the pc.

It is obvious that you have some sort of hardware or set-up problem.

It is also obvious that there are no major issues with GTR.

When you calm down, take a minute to look at the situation and work it
all out for yourself.
