Terminal Reality with a new sim ?

Hello, For some strange reason, probably to check out what all the fuss with Nocturne is about, i checked the news section on the Terminal Reality web site. As probably everyone know this is the guys who made the _almost_ very good CART Precision Racing. In the news section there was something about an new ground based sim soon to be announced. But nothing more than that. Do anyone know anything more ? -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

Not sure when we will announce it but when we do you can be sure that it will also be posted here. I'm always lurking on this site reading it every day. :-) Best Regards, John O'Keefe Terminal Reality

Will it be as good as Fly!

Good. Even if C:PR was a disappointment for me, I still think the game engine actually can be modified in a good way. Any hint on what it could be ? Arcade-style, simulator ? And it will still use the game engine or a new one? -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

Despite CART Precision Racing's problems, I still think it's got the best sensation of speed in any racing sim, as well as the most accurate engine sounds. The sound of the gears shifting is right on. Also, the horsepower/weight ratio is very close, as these cars accellerate just like their big brothers. The AI is the weakest link, but for test drives and hot laps, it's really an excellent sim. I'm sure if there were a CPR II where the shortcomings were all addressed, it could be very close to GPL overall and perhaps even surpass it in some aspects. <remove 7of9 for e-mail replies> -- Bill Jones e-mail addresses: (860) 701-1201 WWW: http://pages.cthome.net/billj

So very true, but I also find the steering very difficult. Even with the MSFF the car does not want to go in a straight line. The brakes have too little travel too. Apart from that, a very good hotlapping sim. I think it was one of the first that modelled the wheels individually, so the car actually steered with the front wheels, not around a z-axis through the middle of the car. -- Olav K.
