Title: Gtr 2002
Post by: funkedup on June 21, 2003, 07:33:04 PM: OK it's pretty cool. I haven't had this much fun with a single player racing sim since Papyrus IndyCar Racing.

The cars felt kind of numb to me at first but I played with some steering settings and got it how I liked it. I maxed out the FFB and turned off the speed sensitivity, and now I can get a real good feel for slip angles and where my tires are.

Gonna have to do some multiplayer. My Red Bull 550 will pwn j00. :)

Post by: funkedup on June 21, 2003, 07:36:33 PM: So far I only have tried Spa, Laguna Seca and the beta Nordschleife. I know most of the F1 circuits from my World Circuit (F1GP) days but it will be interesting to learn the new tracks from the GT series.

Post by: Revvin on June 22, 2003, 03:42:55 AM: It's the most polished and well presented mod I've seen for any game and a MUST for anyone who has F12002. The Simbin guys have recently announced they are looking at three possible game enginesto license to work full time on and release a commercial product.

Post by: Nash on June 22, 2003, 05:33:51 AM: Is F1 2002 brand spankin' new or something? I've called *everywhere*.....*nobody* has it. Either it hasn't come out here yet, or is flying off the shelves, or is on the oldish side maybe? I dunno what the deal is with this bloody game.

NASCAR 2003 and GPL have been a blast tho... And live for speed online races are a hoot too (except for the sumsqueakes who refuse to use their brakes on turn one #@$^).

Post by: Revvin on June 22, 2003, 05:37:24 AM: It's been out about a year now, EA's new F1 (and unfortunately their last) will be out on June 23rd (someone mentioned that date in a newsgroup), it covers the F1 seasons from 99-02 so you can play a kind of career mode. It's still worth getting F12002 just for the GT2002 add-on though.
Title: Gtr 2002
Post by: Nash on June 22, 2003, 05:46:22 AM: Ah gotcha. So why is it going to be their last? Surely it's a successful title for them, no?

Post by: Monk on June 22, 2003, 06:23:29 AM: F1CC could be a Modders dream. Looking forward to the GTX mod, ProC mod, HTCC, and Classic Lemans.

With a little Luck a good "Manners" MOD....... CanAm baby CanAm.

Post by: Dowding on June 22, 2003, 06:34:38 AM: The multiplayer of F12002 isn't very good. I was hoping for 12 cars, but I think it's only 6 and the net code is shoddy compared to GPL. I so want a modern era game that has 24 cars and is stable. That would be worth playing.
Title: Gtr 2002
Post by: Revvin on June 22, 2003, 08:35:25 AM: Nash> I read a few different reasons, one being the F1 series was not as popular as EA's other sports titles compared to how much they had to lay out for the license from the FIA, another is that the team behind the F1 series ISI are tired of making the series and want to do something else. The last sim in the series 'F1 Challenge 99-02' will be even more open to modding according to an interview with ISI as well as much improved multiplayer, even hinting at a full grid so perhaps ISI are planning to end the series in style. I've checked a few online stores here in the UK and they all quote the 27th of June for release, I'll definately be buying this although I may wait until my upgrade is done. With all the cars and tracks from 99-02 and such a large modding community around this F1 series I think it's going to be well worth it.

Post by: Revvin on June 22, 2003, 08:45:09 AM: Hmm or perhaps this (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/driving/formulaone2003/news_6030084.html) is the most likely reason :( Sony signed an exclusive four year deal with the FIA. Looks like it's going to be a lean spell for PC F1 fans.

F12002 is old. Get it online, Amazon or eBay etc.

LFS turn one problems: If you switch to spectator mode briefly before the start, when you come back it will put you at the back of the grid. Then you don't have to worry about some newbie rear ending you. :)

I bought F1 2002 yesterday, downloaced the GTR mod, and the patched everything. This is so freakin awesome. I can't wait till they get around to modeling the 2003 season. I want that T400R lol.

Post by: SKurj on June 22, 2003, 09:00:34 PM: Just fired up GTR once again, but just the F360 cup, love that car!

Trying the Racer Driver multiplayer demo brought me back to driving, even if just for a little bit.

Race driver is pretty but GTR is still much better IMO

I've been doing the rsdg.net mods for F1 2001 (I love the Sebring track) and have F1 2002. I tried to d/l the simbin GTR mod on Friday but the connection timed out. I'll give it another shot tonight. We've been having heavy rains and that may have contributed to my problems (i.e. - everybody else in the neighborhood was bored out of their minds, too, so they also decided to try and surf the 'net and the cable company couldn't handle the traffic).

Download connection from the Hungarian site timed out twice. All of the other links seem to require registration. Is the software worth the spam?

Been lapping Barcelona Spain at 1.23 best lap in Mclaren and Monoca in a Mclaren Turbo mp4-2C at 1.30 best lap. That car is a frikin handfull. I've seen lap times in the 1.18 for Spain and 1.21 range for monaco in the modern cars at the various websites.

Be sure to put your hotlaps here: http://www.findthelimit.com/gtr2002/

I'm on there as "FunkedUp". My only legal hotlaps so far are for Spa in GT class, so rank is kinda high:
(http://www.findthelimit.com/gtr2002/drivers/rank_2259.png)

I drove Spa until I could beat the AI at 35% distance, so now I am contesting the championship. Magny Cours is first, always a hard track for me. Also I switched to the Prodrive 550. :)

Post by: Mark Luper on June 24, 2003, 04:42:04 PM: I have a question, when you drive these cars are you able to drive from "inside" the car like NASCAR Racing and GPL? If so I need to get it too. If not...well I just don't car for driving from outside the car :).
Title: Gtr 2002
Post by: SKurj on June 24, 2003, 06:17:06 PM: Hmmm now why would you ask a question like that Mark?

And there are hunreds and mebbe tousands of screenshots on the web showing lots of cockpit shots... Oops if you click the link in my sig you can see the custom cockpit views I did for GTR2002 v 1.0 (not sure if they work in 1.2 or 1.3). (all i did was adjust the driver position so you got a better view from in the car. SBDT guys took my views and tweaked slightly I believe for the 1.2 patch.

Think we would be going on and on about some console arcade racer? +)

Post by: Mark Luper on June 24, 2003, 07:06:14 PM: Well Skurj, it's like this...I went to one of the sites and didn't peruse it much and only saw exterior views. My bad, I suppose I should have given it a lot more research.

Post by: Dowding on June 25, 2003, 03:22:30 AM: We both found it unstable on my machine (which is better than swoopy's, hence why he plays it on mine). Don't know why.
