firesoldier845 Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 I am not a big racing sim fan but I am in a squad where we play WWIIOL and we used to also have Nascar 2003 racing league one night a week. Well, Nascar 2003 is sorta getting a bit old now and we are talking about branching out to a new racing game GTR2, rFactor, netkar Pro, etc, etc. The only problem is we can't all go out and buy copies of all 3 games so we are trying to decide which one is the best for us to start up our league with? any recommendations? anything arcadish is definitley out of the question cause these guys are pretty hard core for physics and realism when it comes to racing. cheers and thanks
504Goon Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Ive just really got back into race sims this last week (taking a bit of a break from flying atm) Ive got GTR-2 and rFactor (CTDP F1 2005 mod and the F1 1979 demo installed) and Im loving them! And you didn't like F1...:D 504th CO http://www.vvs504.co.uk
Gunja Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 I'm one of that kind as well. Love those race sims and i'm racing along with flying since i can remember. Curently GTR2 has my heart (i have every sim mentioned in this post and more), it is a beautiful racing sim. Name is the same where ever i am, cant miss me ;)
Stealth_HR Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Turncoats, all of you. Traded in the 3rd dimension for a hot rod with spinners and 200+BHP engines. :P Seriously, though, why not? I don't think I've ever played anything more realistic than Juiced (which is still pretty much an arcade), but if it floats your boats, rock on, people. Good to see you're not bolted to one genre. :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Real men fly ground attack :pilotfly: where EVERYTHING wants a piece of you :D
theGozr Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 Never got into GTR it's a bit too cartoonish, I'm 100% for Rfactor also because i know some makers and they are very good in physics for sure :) Fly it like you stole it..

504bigtonka Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 The only problem is we can't all go out and buy copies of all 3 games so we are trying to decide which one is the best for us to start up our league with? any recommendations? rFactor is a good choice because there are so many great mods out for it - if you decide to drive f1, karts, touring cars, or whatever theres probably a free mod out there that does it and does it well. Buy one product, get 15 or 20 sims essentially....and theres more in the pipeline... Physics and graphics are top notch too - it definitely wont feel like an arcade game :) That being said, Im not knocking GTR-2 either its awesome and (imho) better in some respects... but you buy GTR-2, you get GTR-2.

TucksonSonny Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 How about an air race at HL with 2 (or more) fighter jets of the same type (or not) Mission: Sukhumi-Razdolnoye (374 nm) Take-off together at Sukhumi and the first who land on Razdolnoye is the winner! You can make intermediate landings if you think you will need it :D ! Sukhumi (farthest base left on the map) Razdolnoye (farthest base right on the map) BTW, there is one rule: You can’t shoot down your opponent :D .

Thank you very much for responding to my question. I will pass this information onto my squad. cheers
theGozr Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 I loaded the Porcshe one on Rfactor this is a total blast :) I recommend rfactor 200 % over any other.. :) Fly it like you stole it..
