    Re: FIA GTR, racing simulation pc game

    Thanx Alex

    I have tried the first demo for this game and it is pretty cool. Very realistic (as in difficult) driving, nice graphics, and most important - excellent sound.

    This game has the best/most realistic sound I have ever heard in a simulation game. The sound of the Morgan Aero 8 approaching 8.000 rpm or rumbling at low rpm gives me goosebumps and is worth the price alone! I can't imagine what the Porsche's and Ferrari's will sound like...

    I'm gonna buy this game as soon as I'm "tired" of thrashing around the Nurburgring in GT4

    Re: FIA GTR, racing simulation pc game

    Thanks you guys,
    Yes temm yesterday I downloaded the demo version and the game is absolutely awesome, it is very very realistic,IMO it has a 9.9/10....

    And the interior is completely perfect, even the steering wheel of the f360NGT, has the little yellow logo of ferrari, and with a touch of "alcantara".a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

    Re: FIA GTR, racing simulation pc game

    Hi all!
    I've done bit over 700 laps so far in GTR, and YES, it definately is the best sim available (IMHO)!!! Extremely realistic, but - as you said - also very difficult. Still after hundreds of laps, when I try a new track or car, I spin at least once every other lap To get the most out of this sim, you'll need a good force feedback wheel, such as Logitech MOMO Racing etc., no joystick can do this game justice!

    The sounds of the engines are magnificent - all of them are actual recordings of the real things. Have to say though, the 996GT3 sound was a bit disappointing. Somehow it just doesn't sound right, too "zzinggy" maybe Then again, I havent heard the real things live going round a track, let alone been passanger in one, so maybe that's how it sounds. The 993GT2 on the other hand sounds very delicious

    Anyway, what I think is the most amazing thing in GTR, is how every car manages to FEEL different (using FFB wheel of course). For example, the 911s steering's noticeably lighter than the middle- and front-engined machines'. But that's not all. It's difficult to explain, really, but they all do somehow feel different.

    I've also read many comments/interviews of real FIA GT -drivers and others who've driven some of these cars, and invariably they've stated that the cars behave very much like in real life! Also, the tracks seem to be modelled with extreme accuracy.

    There's some interesting interviews and info of GTR in, for example, the 2005 issues of autosimsport netmagazine:
    http://www.autosimsport.com/

    One of my personal favourites is this bit of interview with Ian Bell (Head of Studio at SimBin Studios AB, developer of GTR) in january issue of autosimsport (page 21):

    Interviewer: "During the development of GTR, did a time ever come when all of a sudden you just felt... an 'epiphany' of sorts with GTR - that is, one of those 'ooh, ahh' moments that told the team they had something 'really special'?"

    Ian Bell: "When we sat watching a FIA GT racing driver being dragged out of the simulator as he was late for qualifying, the team dragged him out and he had to sprint to the pit box. He was back 30 minutes later after doing his stint, in the queue behind the other drivers."

    Re: FIA GTR, racing simulation pc game

    I have this game for the PC and it blows GT4 out of the water in terms of driver involvement. Much more intense and the steering feedback is more realistic. This would be a great way to learn a track layout before visiting in real life.

    Highly recommended if you are into this sort of thing.

    Re: FIA GTR, racing simulation pc game

    I have the demo and played the hell out of Spa. Then when I went to play an F1 racing sim I already knew the track. So what Justin says is very true even if the proportions arent 100%

    Yes it does. It even has a slightly different feedback algorithms (it seems anyway) for different Logitech and Microsoft wheels.

    I have the full version which for now is only available in German, but there are English translation patches available on the net. I think they might release the full version in the U.S. eventually.

    Re: FIA GTR, racing simulation pc game

    Hi Guys,

    I have this game alredy since 2 months, the german version.
    I play always online, this game is really awesome as many of you reported. The game itself doesn't offer to many tracks, but you can download many other trucks and add it on. (for free) I have already about 50 tracks. for those who are interested check http://www.gtr4u.de

    Driving the car is at the begining difficult but it also depends if you use helps, like traction control, ABS etc. With this helps ist much easier to drive the cars.
    Anyway maybe we could meet ones online and have some Rennteam Members Race ;-).

    Re: FIA GTR, racing simulation pc game

    No I haven't tried Forza, I'd like to but don't have much time. I also need to get a good force feedback wheel. Anybody know of any sets that come with a clutch pedal? I haven't seen anything.
    I mentioned NFS-Porsche Unleased simply because it has a lot of porsches straight up from the 356 to 996tt including 550 spyder, 935 moby dick, and GT1.

    Forza is terrible in comparison. Reminded me a lot of an old game for Dreamcast called Test Drive Le Mans.
