Anybody decide if we're going to use banked or flat version?
We're going to just go ahead with the flat track. David G Fisher "jon" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7ZVrb.59121$[email hidden]... > Anybody decide if we're going to use banked or flat version? > >
Then it's settled. The flat track it is. And I am glad. Let me tell you why. I believe the flat Homestead is one of the finest tests of endurance, and lends itself well to exciting racing, due in no small part to the complexities of turn 4. So many different lines through it. Little rivers of speed run through it, you just have to find them and swim for all you are worth. The banked version I tried I wasn't to impressed with. Not so much with the track but the car.

I agree, I hate flat homestead, but have had some awsome battles there. I don't think we should run banked hs until PWF releases it. As I understand it, there are several versions of banked homestead out there. Plus, is there a fixed fast or expert setup specifically for banked homestead yet?

Why specifically PWF? THe uspits already have a version out and I think most here will agree they usually are top notch with Papyrus tracks. Gilles' version of St Jovite is one of my favorite sim tracks. The first version I tried, Banked_Homestead, did seem a little off, 70mph pit speeds and the grip was pretty strong. I tried the pit's Homestead2003 online and ended up spinning repeatedly.(ok, I also seem to have strange responses with my pedals<time to go shopping again>) But again...what is PWF bringing to the table? dave henrie

Well, whatever version turns out to be the accepted one as the best or most widely used. PWF just seems to be the most widely accepted standard for new tracks right now. I don't see how anyone could have made a realistic track w/o seeing a single race on the new config. Brian Oster On Fri, 14 Nov 2003 00:27:04 -0600, Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote:
