GTR2002 confirmed as a mod for EA's F1 2002

Dunk checked that GTR2002 required EA's F1 2002, and posters confirmed it was better than the original game. They praised the Brands Hatch track textures as the most realistic yet and credited ISI's open engine. Its poor netcode was noted.

because I've got EA's F1 2002. Or there another game of the same name by another publisher ? I'm pretty sure GTR2002 is for EA F1 2002 but I don't really want to download the huuuge GTR2002 mod for nothing. thnaks

Yes, it is :-) It is better than the original too! You really should download it. /Carl "Dunk" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Thanks but that's not what I asked. I wanted to know if GTR2002 was a mod for *EA SPORTS* F1 2002

I always assumed the game engine was the reason the F1 cars were modelled so poorly, but seeing what can be done by people who are attentive to detail and have some real race engineering experience has me very impressed. I'm already thinking about uninstalling N2002 now since I may not play it again. If Doug does the physics for the F1 77 mod and they include enough historic tracks, I may end up uninstalling GPL as well. Jason
But it still has poor net code correct so it doesn't solve all the issues. "Jason Moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I've given up on F1 sims after F12K1... always disappointing. EA's programmers must be having a sob and group hug about now... when a bunch of "amateurs" can improve on what they spent months working on. Hah! Wife's out tonight so I'll reserve judgement on this add-on when I have time to try it. Dale.

I was on Brands tonight....and without a shadow of a doubt it is the most relalistic looking sim ever. My three mates,and two parents were watching and kept saying it looks real....and the parents are not computer people. I had everything on FULL and was running 1280 x 960 x 32bit.

The programming of the mod probably has a lot to do with it looking so real but your system specs are probably really helping too. ;-) (OH Santa please bring me a 9700 this year !!!) "Aidee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ash3a1$k8o$[email hidden]...

Oh the humanity!! :) :( I deleted all of the tracks that weren't used in the championship for the GT mod (well, and the rest of the F1 content...). That leaves 7 stunning tracks that are pretty accurately modelled, and 3 of the lesser flawed original tracks. Silverstone and Spa aren't too bad, and Magny Cours is ok except for the second set of esses (which, for some reason, are completely flat) and the incredibly odd pit entrance/last turn. Just did some laps at Spa in the Lister. Eau Rouge flat-out is properly scary and a very nice threading the needle moment, even with the neutral/tight default setup. Of course, if you set up the car so it actually turns everywhere else on the track, you can kiss the backend goodbye coming over the hill. =) Jason

It's not "I won't race there it's so bad like the A1-Ring" bad, but ISI should really put some efforts. How hard can it be? :( Spa is average, yeah. It's just that the track builders give themselves too much freedom, and start putting stuff or changing stuff to their free willing. They see an empty spot, and try to "fill it" so that it doesn't look empty even if it's really empty in real life (well empty as in, a forest or an elevation that looks into the sky for the most part). They change the layout because they think it will fit the filling space they aren't sure of. ISI seriously only has the track to do and the multi for the most part. It's pretty much put down now. We can edit everything else (including the physics). But there is ABSOLUTELY no connection between them and us. No communication whatsoever :( > and Magny Cours is ok except for the second set of esses (which, for > some reason, are completely flat) and the incredibly odd pit > entrance/last turn. The track camber is really off, but that's a problem with about every sim that tries to model Magny-Cours.

I think they are proud that their physics engine are capable of doing this, and that the system is open and can be edited. EA did share technical information about the new formats with simbin even before F1 2002 was released. And the F1 cars might not be as good as we wish because of limited time, or the ones that makes decisions at EA might have been thinking that F1 2002 would not sell more if the car modeling was refined, so why spend more man-hours? That doesn't mean that the individual programmer should feel ashamed, they delivered a fine product. The physics model is probably good because the programmers take pride in their work, and because their bosses don't have full insight into what exactly they are doing and what's necessary (for good sales) and not, early in the process. :) I think it's outstanding that they have made such a fine sim. After all the market is kids, grandparents (gift for kids), a few grown up's that drive a few laps twice a year, and a tiny group of serious simracers. But netcode would be fine..... Jone.
No ADSL - what do I do??????? (They haven't fitted out my exchange yet, it's not that I haven't bought ADSL!) I'm sure as hell not tieing the phone line up for a day or so to d'load - is anyone offering a CD burn of the mod to ship in the UK? I'll pay........ Matt
Ditto on this one; GTR2002 is good because the game engine allows it to be, and you have ISI to thank for that. Commercial developers and publishers have a lot more on the line than groups like SBDT, and have a lot broader market to serve. All you really need to do is compare NT2003 to GTR2002 to see the result. Kudo's to ISI as well as SBDT.
