Game Forum / Simulators / Car Simulators / March 2005GTR worth getting?
It's just arrived on the shelves here in South Africa. Is it worth getting, have sim and 'arcady' mode settings, run without problems, FUN? yes > It's just arrived on the shelves here in South Africa.

ISI engined sims can take a bit of tweaking to get right with your wheel. Invest the time with the demo. I've long failed miserably with ISI based sims. Finally got it working well with the GTR demo and rushed out to buy the game. Now I am hooked :) Cheers Tony Isn't flightless the same guy who said GTP wasn't worth the effort with GTR being around? ;) YES! ABSOLUTELY! > It's just arrived on the shelves here in South Africa.

It has three levels: Arcade (with, I think, 4 or 5 Sublevels) Semi Simulation Simulation Rolf > in Beitrag d2ar12$1910$1@newsreader02.ops.uunet.co.za schrieb > Doug_Dread@eskom.co.za unter Doug_Dread@eskom.co.za am 29.03.2005 8:02 Uhr: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Rolf Thanks for the comments, will get it. :) Has 3 levels (most of the effort has gone into the hardcore; I haven't bothered w. the others and neither should you - otherwise get Gran Turismo 4). Huge fun! Drives more like a real car (mass, suspension, tires, road feel) than any other sim. Big multiplayer probs, mostly league stuff (pickup races are fine). Fabulous hot-lapping, decent AI; deep, satisfying immersion. Still confused? Wait for Forza. > It's just arrived on the shelves here in South Africa.

I believed what they put on the box in the German version ("98SE recommended", haha), and was genuinely bitten in the proverbial arse by the marketing blurb. Esp. the online part was worthless with earlier patches, but I doubt they've put any money or effort into improving the 98SE support. Meanwhile I've stuffed about 500 Eus worth of hardware in the box and "upgraded" to winxp pro SP2 (company license). Was it worth it? Every cent ;-) All the best, uwe SignatureGPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61 First Tony tells us he likes GTR, now Uwe runs XP.... Whats next?

A Company XP License does not a *free* copy of Windows make, eh? You should ask was it worth it for the owner of said license that will have to eventually pay for your usage? I use MS licenses daily and its VERY easy for techs to forget that it will be paid for by someone when that number is generated. Its become a major issue, sadly.

And the prices of Microsoft products are not based on costs, they're based on how much they can charge before numbers go down. It gets harder and harder to get the loyalty and moral of customers with time that way. How someone in his right mind can buy Office2003 for 1099 Euros while M$ reap huge revenues is totally beyond me. It is laughable, really. Ridiculous. And Microsoft are concerned about piracy? How hard can it be to understand, I say... ---A--- > Work at home rights? A Company XP License does not a *free* copy of Windows > make, eh?

You really think that I, linux evangelist that I am, would bow down and *pirate* Microsoft stuff??? I asked your windows support and they told me that our company contract states that a license for home use is included. Counting the number of windows machines I have formatted here that only run Linux and nothing else I'd say I still have a few xp licences to share ;-) uwe SignatureGPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61 Yes it is possible for corporates to include home use of it's purchased MS products. We had it for a while, the only constraint was that the copy of the license had to come from a PC being 'mostly' used by the employee. In other words if you have a PC at work that you are the main user you can use the MS products at home. However that did change where I worked some time later. SignatureAndi.

Jo?o Gonzalez > It seems so yes, says so in the box. Just wondering: did they leave that statement on the box for the international release? Some bloke here pretending to be a simbin dev or at least someone close to their circles said something to the effect that this notice would be removed for the international release (you might want to ask google groups about it). Cheers, uwe SignatureGPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61 Yes, '98 is NOT on the International box where on the German release it is. SignatureAndi.

It'll give you something to do instead of watching Super12 LOL. Helps a lot if you can throw high end hardware at it. Ðeon >> It's just arrived on the shelves here in South Africa.

AAAARRRRGGHH ;) Worse than the cricket and that's saying something. LOL. Haven't finished NFSU2 yet, picked up GTR and Silent Hunter 3 from the shelf Saturday and had to choose.... GTR or Silent Hunter 3.... GTR or Silent Hunter 3.... GTR or Silent Hunter 3.... put GTR back. But soon, very soon. :) |
