Does it install starforce? The last GTR demo I installed killed my DVD drive and I had to format my HD and re-install windows just so I could burn DVDs again.

This one does not.

Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that.

A steering wheel for those types of racing games is a have to, otherwise all those TCS/ABS/stability/braking helps revert the driving experience to a Need for Speed clone. Kind of like going from AH to Crimson Skies. The fun is really coming from mastering the car and the track, not the track alone.

I wished I had a fancy pedal setting that would allow me to do some real footwork such as blimping/trailbraking. I can do it with disabling the autoclutch, but then I get stuck if I spin in a kitty litter.

Eagler, they got rid of starforce for GTR2.

Thx. Maybe I'll give it a shot. I liked GTR so I might really like GTR2 if it doesn't trash my computer.

Come on, you rebuilt your '73, but can't make yourself custom pedals?

Question: If you use pedals for it, does the clutch work like a real clutch? Such as, you have to give a little gas as you let out the clutch, or is it like other games and all you do is shove the clutch in and drop it and it shifts perfectly?

I got so frustrated this morning from driving with Cougar that now I have a brand new Logitech MOMO in front of me. :-D

I noticed that too....is there a way to turn off just that...because 'stiffness', which I assume is part of FF, helps a lot!

Yes, I have. I assume you use manual, right? .....with video I'm not sure how to turn on speed-o-meter and line....but it looks nice.

Yeah, everything off except autoclutch. By whatching someone else's video, I learned I could actually brake much later. Vids are helpfull

I did notice that you were breaking later than I usually do. You can do that because of manual transmission, right?

Probably more because of the brake repartition, when u use manual transmission make sure you blip the throttle a bit to avoid rear end lock on hard downshifts. (But I think autoclutch does that for u).
