GTR fia sim racing!!

[Gerardrh34]

Hey guys

any of you guys played this game???? because it is awesome!!!

It's been out for a few months in Germany and i think its due to be released here next month, maybe as i have read somewhere else it will not be released here???

I ordered my copy from England and it is the best 68bucks i have spent in a long long time!!!!

this is the link www.gtr-game.com if u wanna check it out.

by the way its for PC

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

[Gerardrh34]

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!!

I played the demo for awhile, great sim but it gets boring fairly quick.

[GTRgeoff]

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.

I've got demo.. The Saleen S7 may be powered by a Ford 7.0ltr V8 but farrkin oath it sounds horn.. But I love the fazza scream of the Ferrari 360 Modena 'NGT'

[PRO-L20]

Ahh could someone please help me.. I need to find out where I can purchase an English version of FIA GTR and their other game GT-Legends.. Yes I mean buying from overseas/internet since it isn't available in Oz.

I did a test night of this software at the High Octane sims in Brisbane.

Found it a bit harder than other sim software - and very challenging & realistic.

and damn the sounds are awesome

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.

Cheers

i beleive i've now seen it on sale at harvey norman.... i think i might go pick up a copy of it today

[GTRgeoff]

Ýep saw it at Hardly Normal today.

Do yourselves a favour and buy. Now if I just get some time to play........

[R2HKS]

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.
