FGaveourite F1 game besides the GPx series
Posted by Spike02
oh i remember that. how i mastered that game ( i didnt have a pc back then, well i had one but i was shite)

F1 97 was good, but Martin seemed odd. He would either talk bout bout 5min non-stop, or shut up for bout an hour and just say "your right there Murray" whenever Murray spoke!
F1 99, cos it had a saftey car.
Racing Is Life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting

Of course Ubi-Softs F1 Racing sim and Racing Simulation 2 (also MGPRS2). Even if the latter didn't have the official FIA license, with all the mods around it was (and probably still is, if you forgive the nowadays inadequate graphics) a great game.

I found GPL very...boring? I dont like odl racing.
Its hard but i didnt like it much, altho i could hold me own in some online races

its got to be GPL, actually its got to be GPL including the Gpx series, I really like some aspects of F1 2001 and 2002 as well, though the AI leaves a lot to be desired.
F1 97 was far too much of an arcade game, not anything close to the first two Ubi Soft sims. Yes, on my Miro Highscore 6MB Voodoo card it looked breathtaking back then, but
- the cockpit perspective was unplayable
- there were no mirrors, the handling was crap,
. you couldn't make a proper setup
- the pitstops were ridicolous
- commentary is a load of bollocks anyway.
If I have to listen to these morons on TV every fortnight or so, I want my peace when playing on a PC. Besides, the driver does not hear commentary at all, so what does it have to do in a racing sim?

we could soon be saying racing legends by west bros.
they are going to release updates for different seasons like the pre turbo era's of F1 and they are being helped with the physics & handling by the games guru who was responsible for gpl.
The Concept
Racing Legends is a new concept in the world of motorsport simulation. It is not a single product but a racing system that expands and evolves with you, your interests and your computer.
All existing motor racing simulations conform to a standard format i.e. you have a choice from a set number of cars, a set number of tracks and the feature list is set. Racing Legends has no such limitations. It has been designed as an expandable and evolutionary product. You choose what cars, tracks and features you want to include.
As well as being expandable Racing Legends has been conceived and designed as a sophisticated racing simulation and will appeal to racing professionals and racing enthusiasts alike.
Buying Racing Legends is only the beginning, the possibilities for it after that are endless.
One of the key features to the hopeful success of Racing Legends will be its expandability. The core of the simulator has been designed to allow it to be added to very easily. Over time Racing Legends will expand to include all forms of motor sport and beyond. Whatever your preferred form of motor sport we are confident you will find something to satisfy you and allow you to customise Racing Legends to your own taste.

LS's Tip of the week

The Cars
Probably the most obvious feature of Racing Legends is the detail and quality of the cars. A lot of time and effort is spent ensuring that the cars are as accurate as possible. We work from the cars blueprints and, where possible, from the actual cars themselves where every part of the car is measured and photographed to ensure the best possible reproduction.
How We Make The Cars
After a car has been chosen we gather every piece of information we can about that car. Normally we will have access to the car and from this we can measure and photograph every component.
We start modeling with the chassis and attach each new component to this. Even parts of the car that, normally, would never be seen are modelled, such as fuel tanks and the internal components of the engine, the reason being that the cars and engines can be dismantled and every part checked for wear and damage. Each system of the car can be examined independently to locate problem areas and then dismantled for closer examination.
The parts of the car are then 'wired' together so that they function properly e.g. turning the steering wheel turns the front wheels, pressing the accelerator adjusts the carburetor, touching the brake pedal activates the brake lights etc.
If there is an adjustment that can be made on the real car then it can be made on our models. If you wanted to change the front anti roll bar or change the camber or caster of the suspension then you can do so and each of these changes will affect the way the car behaves. It is therefore possible to be able to use Racing Legends as a tool to test suspension set-ups away from the track.
With Racing Legends it is possible to learn a lot about how these cars work and how they are put together.
Driver or Mechanic?
It is also possible to swap components between cars. So you could try a new carburetor or indeed even change the engine for a whole new one. This makes it possible for those who prefer preparing and fixing cars to driving them to enjoy using Racing Legends.
Damage
A later expansion pack is a sophisticated damage model that will see your car bend and break if you have an accident. However each component of the car, although not visible, can be damaged and worn out. Damage and wear can be caused by accidents or by heavy or prolonged driving. For the first time in a driving simulator a driver who is kind on his car and tyres will benefit later in a race. This is always overlooked and usually means that drivers who over rev their engines, flat spot their tyres, ride the kerbs or who regularly make contact with other drivers may no longer do so well.
It is also important that your cars be regularly examined and checked for damage and wear. For those drivers who don't want to have to concern themselves with maintaining their cars they can either find a friendly mechanic or get the computer to check the car for them, although some online leagues may not permit computer checking.
Real Cockpits
The level of detail also extends into the cockpit of the cars. Every switch, knob and lever of the real cars cockpit is re-created and can be operated using either the keyboard or mouse.
Likewise all the gauges, dials and warning lights are fully functioning and during racing, other than listening to your engine, are your only means of knowing the condition of your car.

Some of your questions answered.
Some of the more frequent questions that we are asked are answered below. If you have a query, which is not covered here or in the rest of this information pack, then please email us and we shall do our best to help.
What is Racing Legends?
Racing Legends is a Motor Sport simulator for the IBM PC. It is a high-end professional quality simulator designed for racing professionals as well as serious motor sport and simulation racing enthusiasts.
Why is it different?
Racing Legends has been designed from the start to be a serious simulator for racing professionals and serious enthusiasts. Being a totally independent company we do not have a publisher trying to shape the product for the mass market and can therefore include any features we like.
Racing Legends has been designed to be expandable and to evolve. This allows the user to tailor the simulator to their own personal taste.
What is an 'evolutionary' product?
An evolutionary software title is one that develops over time, being the subject of a continual program of reviews and updates. This means that you do not have to worry about your investment becoming outdated (a common problem in the software industry!)
Why is Racing Legends evolutionary?
Normally, when you buy a racing simulator you get a limited set of features, cars and tracks. This is all well and good but you may never drive some of the included cars, or race some of the tracks and some of the features may not even be desirable to you. Unfortunately, you do not get a choice. This is not the case with Racing Legends.
When you purchase Racing Legends you will get a backbone, a central hub, to this you can choose to purchase more features, tracks, cars and a range of complimentary products. This allows you to customise the product to your own personal taste.
What motor sport does it simulate?
As the simulator can be expanded it will eventually evolve to simulate all forms of motor racing. You simply purchase the appropriate expansion pack when it is available.
Where can I buy it?
You will not find Racing Legends in the shops. You will be able to purchase it from this website directly, by mail order or at selected motor sport events and venues.
When will it be ready?
We expect to launch our first product later this year. We will be introducing a beta test programme for all those who cannot wait for the finished article. More information on this will be available on our website.
How much will it cost?
The price has not yet been finalised. It will be more expensive than titles available in stores. Racing Legends is a specialist product that will not attract the same number of sales as a mass-market product. It is also a very sophisticated title and this will be reflected in its price.
Can I create my own cars and tracks?
Yes. We will be making available all the information needed to be able to create your own cars and tracks as well as some resources and tutorials to make it easier for you.
Will there be a demo available?
Yes we hope to make a limited demo after our beta test programme is complete. More information about how you can become part of the beta test programme will be available on this web site in the near future.
personally i don't care how much its costs, if its going to be the same kinda quality as GPL and has the same sort of attention to detail with the physics and handling then i expect the modern f1 add-on will be the best F1 yet.
i remember when WSC was in development and west bros said the attention to detail was at a maximum, they said at the begining of a race weekend you even had to drive the car off the back of the transporter
i know this does'nt happen in F1 but you get the idea
i can't wait
hopefully this will give crammond a much needed kick up the backside

yep racing legends looks really promising. But its likely to cost at least £70 for the initial version which will just be the core of the simulation. some updates (damage, weather etc..) will be free but different track packs and carsets (not just F1, they are planning reallying and other series as well) will cost money. Its mainly becuase they're not actually releasing the game into the mainstream (it'll only be available online) as no publisher is interested as its considered too hardcore for most of the public
here's the only picture of a car released at the moment:
ok why didn't that work, here;s the only in game shot anyway (this probably won't work, just paste it to your browser)
careful matthewp you'll get I-max accusing you of spamming to boost your post tally
