Perhaps I misunderstood your "Yawn/Boring" comments immediately following JohnW's post, I interpreted that as personal given it's context. And I don't remember getting personal, I
do recall making a correlation between you calling someone "boring" and your unimaginative use of "QWERTY" as an alias, but that's just me being a smart ass, simply recognizing the irony and not really meant to be offensive.
As far as the "stupid" thing, I wasn't refering to you, that's why I started another paragraph. I was refering to other forum members [Mika] who have childishly called JohnW "stupid" for being upset that a game he is commited to has not delivered what it should. He too is a loyal GP3 user but doesn't want to get stuck in a hole, he wants to advance, he wants to be challenged, and GP4 does not deliver. Call it frustration, but don't call it stupidity.
I don't know if you've played F1 2002, but it
does deliver what he is looking for. The graphics may not be quite as good as GP4, but they're damn close and certainly better than GP3. I haven't driven a GPx game so I can't really comment on it's physics engine but from what I've read, all cars are modeled identically both visually (other than livery, of course) and dynamically... A Minardi is just as fast as a Williams. The very term SIM refers to a simulation of the actual event and I think that any developer who strives to increase the realism not just visually but dynamically as well has done a service to those of us in the SIM racing community and those who don't, don't.
Again, I apologize if I misunderstood you but I hate to see someone who is only trying to learn get ridiculed for asking a legitimate question. Mika pissed me off earlier in the thread and I was a hair trigger by the time I got to your post.
