On NFSU2 etc i do drive internal for about 90% of the time as otherwise you would be hitting anything and everything. Forza is mainly internal but GT4 I think it depended on the track. The tight ones had to be internal, to give you a real sense of the claustrophobic nature of the track so you didn't just play dodgems with the side rails. > after three tries that > >was the best they could do?

Check that, it was excellent on some > tracks (LS) horrid on others (most fantasy tracks, Road Atlanta). Yeah, i agree, though at least it was more random. It was dirty, and I mean DIRTY, again more like an arcade racer, all that tapping rear ends etc which in real motor sport would probably incur you huge fines and of course the damage they receive is never quite as bad as the pile of mangled tin you end up driving over the line :O) -- Paul (Neurotic to the bone No doubt about it) ------------------------------------------------------ Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |
