Hi folks, I guess you won`t see much of me on LFS in the next few days since I`m busy playing the brandnew RACE game from SimBin. It`s a GTR2 clone with great tracks (MACAU anyone?) and intense racing. I am no good at GTR 2 so I usually end up losing 7 sec. / lap! Online racing is brilliant, the whole thing has just one (huge big tremendous) drawback: It`s a STEAM title, so no way this is going to be modded or skinned or ripped. It`s a pity, I was looking forward to doing the blue Huff Chevrolet in a nice dark Jag green ...
Still, if you have money to burn, test it, it`s f... brilliant.

I'll have a look. I don't have any problem with Steam, it's the SimBin tag that frightens the life out of me.

I'm DLing the demo. A quick look at the website shows that this is yet another game with ingame advertising supplied based on your location.:sideways:

Oh and you have to buy the game to get the dedicated server. Huh?

I hate to be a miserable git, no really, I do! But this is more of the same SimBin/10tacle/ISI stuff and I just can't get along with it. I've resisted GTR2 and I'm going to resist this one as well. Pretty though. :)

OK, ripped - fair enough (Insofar as some people consider being able to rip a game to b a good thing), but why should it being a Steam title prevent it being modded or skinned? (looks to HL2 and others).

well, as far as I can see (and I´m a tech nightmare) there are no car files on my harddrive it`s all flown in from cyberspace every time you hook up to the net, the only files in the RACE folder are the uninstall files! So how on earth am I going to do a skin? as for ripping and modding, that is way beyond my capabilities I just picked up online lament, trying to make you folks believe I played in another league ... Doing skins is as far as it goes.

Well, I guess that`s down to personal taste, isn`t it? As for me, I rather fancy the balancing act required to get your simbin cars round the track. It`s a pity though, without your own skins I was racing ten Andy Priaulx`s in Macau (before I crashed, that is) and that certainly is bizarre.:D
