SCGT Surprise

Hi guys In early 1999 i was really into PC racing having been jealous of my brothers console racing game for a year. I ventured to my local store to see what might give me the excitement the arcade console games were giving us night after night. I narrowed my choice down to these three games/sims. a-Grand Prix Legends b-Sportscar GT c-Toca 2 Touring. Now I didnt really know what to look for as far as longevity and game satisfaction was concerned so my final choice came down to how good/realistic the screenshots looked on the back of the boxes.(lol) Thus I chose Toca 2. Did the usual offline hotlapping and AI races until I became curious about this 'network' option and what it did. Dug deeper and ended up on Codemasters Toca 2 Chatroom,looking for a race and chatting about the game.One patch install later i was in my first online race......and hooked..!!! I was brilliant at Toca 2..i beat the AI offline in expert mode and i was confident in my own ability.But wait.......how come i was being thrashed online by these racers from all round the world....? I was not brilliant...i was slow...hehe One addicted year later i had risen to be as good as most,only a handful can beat me now and i am a happy man. But the game has gone stale,nobody seems to be able to add any more tracks or cars like other games i had heard about so sadly all the great drivers leave the scene....and its a sad time for all. THEN.....I hear of GPL....or more accurately Vroc.....i buy GPL cheap...add all the extras which make it great and i love it,try to get up to pace but this is no ordinary sim,you cant just give a track 30 or 40 hours and be Top 10 in the world....so i realise maybe i missed the boat and use GPL for fun recreation at night with similar standard drivers....nice close racing...and satisfying. NOW.....I bought a Logitech Wingman wheel in July 2000..had it 3 days,hated it and returned it for a refund.SCGT came with it and i forgot(honest) to put the CD back in the box. So ,one bored day in December 2000 i installed it,was in GTQ and thought it was OK,my time with it was about one week and i never looked at it again. Until last week....!!! I saw a post on here with a few URL's...i explored and did a bit of downloading and trial and error here and there. Well..WOW.... I now have it set up permanently as a GT1 racing sim,sort of a poor mans(but not so poor) WSC.I have 900hp cars only,McClaren F1,Panoz,Bugatti EB110,Ferrari F50,Mercedes CLKGT and a Porsche GT1,using the cheat i get enough money to set them up to the ultimate,i set the graphics to max,AI level to max,race length to 30 minutes and we race.I race the McClaren F1 GTR with the McClaren dashboard,to add to the realism(great driving from the middle,whilst behind a windscreen) I have never had so much fun in my sim life.I have to recommend you try this out with these settings,and if WSC is as much fun as this, i will be happy,but this sure makes a cheap easy alternative to last until the real mcCoy arrives. ....and Hockenheim is a magical track with these beasts...I can lap in the low 1.30's lap after lap...and i come 3rd.....the Bugatti and the F50 lap at 1.28/1.29...and its a real buzz trying to hang on to them. Given a few more hours at it i consider i will be up there. I wrote this just wanting more to experience this as it is forgotten by some in its basic form and many may never have even tried this scenario for racing. Try it.....its great. Morgan Boof p.s You need :- SCGT original 1.55 Patch GT1 cars (from a site) McClaren dash(from a site) cheats enabled(isi-cheeseman,isi-tbone,isi-aardvark) extra tracks(from a site) You are off.....

Where did you get most of the SCGT cars? - I can only ever seem to find GT40's and stuff Doug "Morgan Boof" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:j8iw6.26474$[email hidden]... > Hi guys > > In early 1999 i was really into PC racing having been jealous of mybrothers

Here are a few url's mate....have fun. Morgan Boof http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/Patpainter/scgt/scgtindex.html http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/amtdijk/index.html http://www.nbsimracing.homestead.com/downloads.html http://home.freeuk.net/jrknight/scgt/guide/guide.htm http://www.racesim.net/scgt/index.htm http://www.theuspits.com/fbody/scgt/index.html http://www.nascar-racing-sims.com/directory/Sportscar/Sports_Car_GT/

Hey Morgan... For a little more driving fun, try getting the Advanced Options Editor. It does several things...biggest is increases the the driving feel slightly and allows you to TURN OFF that super sticky grass that SCGT has. re-use it evertime you add new cars or tracks...I did about the same thing as you, but with LeMans Cars. Audi's, BMW, Lola, Caddilace, Chrysler prototypes and Viper & Vette & Porche GTS cars. dave henrie ps... I think WSC will feel more like GPL than SCGT..fyi...

Where will i find this Editor Dave...? Morgan Boof

It is at speedsims.com but there dload menu's are pretty confusing. Find it under scgt/convertors or try this link to the dload page itself... http://scgt.speedsims.com/index.cfm?content=editors&id=1 dave henrie "Morgan Boof" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Nunw6.26583$[email hidden]... > Where will i find this Editor Dave...? > > Morgan Boof > >

is it me or my wheel set up but the throttle response in scgt is either off,half on or full bore, it doesn't seem to have the precision of GPL
