OT : MotoGP 2 Cheap - Worth Getting?
I realize this is rec. AUTOS. simulators but I don't think there is a RMS.
Anyway I'm an Auto kinda guy so that's the link. Anywhoo, never tried a Bike sim before but I saw MotoGP 2 for $10.00 CDN in a bargain bin today. I'm a guy who likes his motorsports (and Sims) with four wheels. The only MotoGP I see are the highlights on SpeedNews Sunday, but I do know who Valentino Rossi, Max Biaggi, & Sete Gibernau are. I thought it would be interesting to get as a quick diversion. So my questions a 1. Is MotoGP 2 a good title? (I realize it's out of date but did it play and look good?) 2. MotoGP 3 is already out for PC? Is it much better? Is it selling cheap too? 3. I believe MotoGP 4 is coming out. Is it already? Is it for PC? Is it quantumly better than MotoGP 2? 4. Are there many mods, additions to MotoGP 2? Tobacco patches? 2005 Updates? Tracks? Thanks Rudeboy |

To categorize it, I'd say it's similar to NFS: Porsche Unleashed -an arcade/action racer with enough sim to make it convincing. Also has very cool graphic touches, vision blurring as speeds increase and absolutely gorgeous special effects filters that you can apply to the races. Tim |

Well it might be good. But I'm not sure I'll ever know.
Worst. Controller. Configuration. Ever. Can't get it to work with Axis Pad. Wingman Extreme. Or Momo Wheel. I can never ride or drive with a key board. Remnants of growing up with a consol I guess. Do you guys use controllers? How did you get them to work? Are there any patches? Very frustrating. Rudeboy > > Worth it. It plays well and the graphics stand up especially in the replay > mode.

No problems either with my previous Wingman Rumbler. I assume your pad is available on the 'Configure Controllers' menu (choose between pad, mouse and kb), then you just assign controls to individual buttons and axis. What are you seeing on this menu? ++ Fillyourboots |

Its been a while since I've played the game, but I think I do remember the configuration screen being a bit confusing until I figured it out. |

OK got it.
Although in the Controller Configuration screen it had different tabs for each controller (i.e..keyboard, Axis Pad & MOMO wheel) in the game when I was using the Axis pad it was also receiving input from the MOMO wheel simultaneously. Unplugging the MOMO and only having one game controller plugged in solved the issue. Not sure if that's an issue with my USB setup or with the game. Anyway solved. As for the game. I like it. Interesting. A little arcadey and you can tell it's a straight port but fun. A number of tracks I've never driven which is always nice. I play from the chase view which I guess makes it feel a little bit more arcadey but from the "Cockpit" view I can't tell what gear I'm in and can barely read the Tach. Is that right? Is that what you guys see? Is there a workaround for that? Actually the "Cockpit" view makes me nauseas so maybe I'll just stick to what I've got. I know I'm getting ahead of myself but any good sites for add-ons, tracks etc.? Thanks Rudeboy "Tim O" > wrote in message ... > > I was playing it with a Logitech dual stick gamepad.
