Today, i tried this sim and.........oh my god, all in this game is great: The physics (very close to GPL), the 3D model, the textures, ..... What do you think of this sim ?? It's weird that all the best physics are in the "exotics" games: GPL, Mercedes Truck, GP 500, Nascar 4. I love Rally and F1 but none of the rally and F1 games have such good physics.
MBTR is good until a certain point. If you drive a truck on the limit it shows a bit arcadey-kindda physics sometimes. "Erwan" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Since the point of racing sims is to be on the limit, I don't see your point? I see nothing but great simulation, on top of a game engine that is second only to the one by Papyrus. Almost every aspect of it is top-notch. What you call "arcadey-kindda" is simply limitation of a game engine, but it's anything BUT arcade. It's just it's limitation, which even in it's limitation is superior to 100% of the arcade games, and a vast majority of racing sims. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...
Wanted to add that track modelling is quite bad. You never get the impression that you actually drive an a wide track, more on a small road, "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NLau6.501999$[email hidden]...

Maybe because trucks are a "little"!?! wider, longer and higher. (ok, ok they are a LOT BIGGER) then an F1 or a Sports Car :-) A friend of mine guive me a ride some time ago in one of those big rig and let me say that you see the road from quite another perspective from the seat of those monster.

Since I have the luck to make MANY laps in racetrucks i can tell you the track is VERY narrow when you start to hear the squealing of the tires, not to mention coming into the first chicane in Most with Albacete on the outside....

Where do you find it? I've been looking for it for a month and no one has it on the shelf. -Larry "Erwan" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
