Gerard, my mate and I bought this from England after playing the Addon SimBin developed for the F1 series.

Having played this and GT4...well, GT4 is a con. It is just kiddie platform crap in comparison! I checked with EB and they had no idea the sim existed, let alone plans to sell in Oz.

I have a rig setup with a Logitech MOMO FF wheel, a seat with 2 impulse drivers for vibration feedback and good speakers from Hercules. I didn't bother with the other gameplay levels but went straight to pro. Some who play GT4 have tried and completely fail to control the cars.

Unfortunately I don't get enough time to play online much but that is a lot of fun. Overall I find it a good substitute while the track car is off the road. Now to get my mate online and whup his butt again :D

Awesome stuff... sounds like you got a sweet as setup!!!

One site said a possible release date for aus was may 7th, then i read another site saying it will not be released due to poor market research.

I even asked at a gamestore and had the same answer ( what game is that) they had never heard of it.

I havent tried the online mode yet, deffinately be getting around to it this weekend though!!

It's much more polished in the final release, and even the english release has been improved over the german copy (which I also have).

Online racing leagues are brilliant and dispose of the AI BS that makes them boring with the added advantage of competing toward a goal.

When we get a few with the game I'll set up a small league. We can hook up every couple of weeks for a race.

I've got GTR FIA GT Racing, what can I say but this game is f*ckin awesome. Forget trying to play this game without a wheel. I use a Logitech Momo FF, and went straight to simulation mode with all assists off except traction control (man is it hard to keep straight with it off) Only had it a few days and for the 1st time tonight played it with another mate on a server we setup. What can I say but its kickass

This game is no arcade crap thats for sure, its a pure simulation, the best I have ever played. It has it all, try going hard on the 1st lap with the tyres cold you will spin, tyres go off if you don't treat them right, ie too much wheelspin etc. Do a donut and you'll blow a tyre in no time. Go off line and there is no grip, you understeer off the track etc etc.

The sound in this game is awesome also, you can hear your front tyres scrubbing with too much lock on and you understeer off the track. You really need to feed the throttle on or lookout it will spin. You really have to drive these cars unlike all other race games where they just seem so easy after playing this.

I'd be keen to play in a GTR FIA GT Racing league and I'm sure I can get some Aussie's in from our clan www.r2clan.com to give you guys a run for ya money. Like I said I've only had it a fews days and in between spinning have so far managed a best lap of Spa in 2:13.3s

Anyone who wants to see this game in action, I have made an in game video, racing the Ferrari 550 around Spa, its 100meg (ouch says those poor 56'kers)is in DivX format, with the obligatory huge crash and some donuts/burnouts/fishtales at the end.

Go and get this game now, forget GT4 it pales in comparison to this game, its a true simulation not some acarde kiddies game.

Let me know when some of you guys get it and we'll hook up and have some races on a private server we setup. Just had another game tonight, what can I say but this game is awesome, Go and get in now, right now, but make sure you have a wheel, cause its virtually impossible to play without one. You can play arcade mode, but you may as well not bother buying this game if you play arcade mode only. Its simulation mode where this game comes into its own.

Cheers

I also use a force feed back seat (yep, I'm a nerd) with 2 aura interactor drivers mounted. One behind the small of the backk and one under the seat. Really enhances the experience. I also intend to get the TrackIR to allow mw to use my head to pan the view.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
