But in a completely different way.

I had a blast the other day driving the Alfa on rain. The cars have working vipers an everything. Much better to drive than in GTL.

Cheers, I have to try that

I know nothing about realism or how racing physics really work.

But I've been playing Simbin games for some time now and while I can't comment on a lot of criticism it gets in above areas, a lot of people say they feeld etached from the road while racing, as if they're on rail tracks or floating above the road.

When I'm playing GTR2, Race or GTL I'm always blasted away by how many feedback I get from my steering wheel, making me experience exactly what I see the car doing, allowing me to immedeately correct and adapt.

It's actually exactly this I'm missing when playing LFS.

Anyway, not trying to open a cesspit here because I know it's a high debated subject. but I'm glad people here play it too. Do they still, though, or has it died somewhat?

Edit and off-topic: my first post on these forums, so hi everyone. I'm using a signature and avatar I use at other places too, so if they exceed any boundaries, please let me know; I couldn't find any rules about them.

Welcome Jorri, nice that your first post is in the racing section.

Sim racing is a thorny subject and one man's realism is another man's arcade. You'll have to come and pay us a visit on dMr and we can see if you're as handy with a car as you are with an AK47!

Hello and welcome to the brotherhood.

There are some guidelines for signature sizes HERE. Yours does fall outside the guidelines but major kudos to you for actually thinking about it :thumbsup2:.

I've a feeling your going to fit right in

Aren't my welcomes formal enough? :sad:

Oh Ron I'm sorry I didn't mean that lol.

I mean that lots of people who don't race wouldn't read this whereas many more would in the hello thread.

I think you need to read my book: How to disguise humour. By Rudolph Hucker.

Oh alright then, I'll resize my sig, but I'm only gonnna put more guns in it :narnar:.

Thanks for the welcome, I'll be sure to say hello to a wider audience. As I've understood, it's quite big..

Most racing I do is offline, usually going head to head with a friend, so I don't think I'll be joining your online rankings just yet. Currently playing Colin McRae 2005.

So I'll just go creeping to the CSS board now. Cheers.
