GTR Evo Arrived...
It's a DVD in a DVD case, with a single sheet controller guide. I just love
the first 4 commands: Up Arrow - Accellerate Brake - Down Arrow Steer Left - Left Arrow Steer Right - Right Arrow And folks wonder why I just can't get into ISI based sims LOL They could do a lot worse than to get rid of all this mouse/keyboard driving crap, erradicate all the useless "digital" settings in the setup, etc... No One races with a keyboard. Or at least I sure hope not. Anyone at this level races on a console! Now, the next step is to see if I like it at all. This is very much an $18 experiment for me and yes, I'm going in expecting the worst. |

"John Doe" > wrote in message ... WOW... Love how you newbs (jdoe) find a newsgroup, that has been around for uh um oh about 20 years, and many of us on it been around here that long as well, yet act like none of us have a clue why we read or post... when you been around long enough, and have reached the aged and respected role of ridiculous moderaterous. Fact is, John! You aint been here long enough to get half the innuendos, let alone the outright jokes, so sit back and nip it... I want to point out that the name of the news group is rec.autos.SIMULATORS. Which is pretty self explanatory. It is a newsgroup (aka public bulletin board) Wherein we talk about the latest automotive SIMULATORS, with mostly like minded people. Yep, that simple. Yeah sometimes the topic might stray, but I guarantee you, This aint REC.AUTOS.$hittySet top "games" you play with tiddley wink controllers or keyboards. If you think your gonna get ****ed everyone posts about your favorite game that lets you race as realistic as late 60's era AFX/Tyco slot cars can, then you might need to go find the rec.games.play station-xbox-Nintendo(or whatever group, you call it.) newsgroup where you kids can argue about how freaking 'cool' the latest Need for speed/EA nascar/Driver/Turismo/burnout games make you all tingly... as far as Larry, well he goes and buys stupid $hit every so often, just to get a 'rag' on about it... but he's relatively harmless, although opinionated...

If you are a programmer, it is like bitching about Microsoft's visual C/basic/foxpro etc just because someone's Slot machine game or tax wizard software they built from that compiler, is buggy or not to your liking.

You've been around USENET that long PlowBoy and you still don't know enough to post in context. Do you top post so that someone has to read your meaningless grandstanding chest thumping bully wannabe crap before they get to the answer they are looking for? > Fact is, John!

If you think you are smarter than I, Peter, explain how someone who might temporarily use something other than a wheel necessarily should be racing on a console. > What was that Abraham Lincoln saying about 'better to be quiet and > make people think you're a fool?' You need to either finish the saying or at least include an ellipses, Peter. Aren't you the guy that said Richard Burns Rally is "not even close to arcadish"? In your opinion, is it a better simulation than the GTR series? I get the impression some think a game must be tedious as a programming language. But in fact tedium has nothing to do with driving realism. That's one reason I bought GTR first, my definition of fun doesn't include programming tasks and I've read enough about the others. > -- > Pete Ives > Remove All_stRESS before sending me an email > > > Path: nlpi102-int.nbdc.sbc.com!nlpi062.nbdc.sbc.com!prodigy.com! nlpi057.nbdc.sbc.com!prodigy.net!feeder.erje.net!n ewsfeed0.kamp.net!newsfeed.kamp.net!feeder.news-service.com!69.16.177.246.MISMATCH!cyclone03.ams.h ighwinds-media.com!news.highwinds-media.com!npeersf01.ams.highwinds-media.com!newsfe27.ams2.POSTED!7564ea0f!not-for-mail > From: Peter <pete.ivesAll_stRESS blueyonder.co.uk> > Newsgroups: rec.autos.simulators > Subject: GTR Evo Arrived... > Message-ID: <MPG.2332c19c1fab7b289898ea news.virginmedia.com> > References: <ooWxk.455$_u2.43 newsfe08.iad> <d_Wxk.20962$cW3.15418 nlpi064.nbdc.sbc.com> > Organization: Home > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-15" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > User-Agent: MicroPlanet-Gravity/2.70.2067 > Lines: 33 > NNTP-Posting-Host: 82.34.212.190 > X-Complaints-To: http://netreport.virginmedia.com > X-Trace: newsfe27.ams2 1221111815 82.34.212.190 (Thu, 11 Sep 2008 05:43:35 UTC) > NNTP-Posting-Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2008 05:43:35 UTC > Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2008 06:48:53 +0100 > Xref: prodigy.net rec.autos.simulators:560740 > X-Received-Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:43:36 EDT (nlpi102-int.nbdc.sbc.com) > |

Shut it, you ****. Larry shouldn't speak in code, in public and then moan

> No One races with a keyboard.
"No One" must be an LFS fan, since a lot of them race with a keyboard, and LFS has a reputation for being an elitist group. |
