Cheers Martin. The link to buy the game doesn't work, so I am I going to download the trial version of GTR 2. If I like it, I might join in on the SIDC online event, should it ever happen.

I have a Logitech DF II but don't use it that much (might sell it if anyone's interested - works with the PC and PS2).

Anyway - Live for Speed is the one for me. Play that more than anything else. The car physics are just superb. Car skinning is popular - this is my current trusty stead [] (dons flame suit and waits ...)

I'll get a hold of GTR 2 as well and see how that goes but would recommend LFS to everyone.

P.S.  martin, see on that gtr2, is there an option to view the circuit on the screen while racing, just like to see the trake while racing.

fuzzy

[STi_Bandit]

Its a proper simulator GTR like live for speed :-)

Bandit

[scoobyfuzzy]

[RA Dunk]

so who all playes these games on the pc then and who all use other things to play online?

[craig mac]

Folks

Which wheels would you recommend?

I would like one that works on the PS2 and the PC if there is such a thing?

Not really a big gamer on the PC, But if there is Online racing to be had i might be up for a bit of that

However i bought that Tom Clancy Splinter Cell Double Agent the other day, Had to then buy a Bigger LCD for the "Den" (toy room) Now i canna put it down.[:$][]

[STi_Bandit]

Hey craig,

iam very sad but iam very tempted by this one, also PS2 compatabile must justify the price lol.

Martin

There is buying a wheel to play games with and there is throwing money away for fun, I think that one falls in to the second area, Dont you[]

So any other suggestions?

[STi_Bandit]

Craig,

Least with that id be able to keep up with you on track, well in the online world hhehhe. different story in real life lol.

Think Neilster suggested one he uses above that works with both pc and mac. (Logitech DF II)

Bandit

[craig mac]

LOL

Cool i see that in his post, Will drop hiom a PM as he said he may be selling it []

You will pee pee all over me at Online driving games, No question. [:$]

Next i will need to check my graphics card is fit for purpose, The board and Processor are fit no problems there, but not sure about the gc.[*-)]

[RA Dunk]

with the lonngggggg winter nights comming in a decent game is more than worth it`s weight in money, would be a good laugh if we all had the same one though, only prob is some use the pc while others use xboxes or the likes, got a question if somebody has a pc can they play in the same servers as someone using a xbox or the likes?

[STi_Bandit]

Yeah think i need to get a new graphics card currently have a radeaon x300 pci-express and all the fans inside the machine go mad after about 10mins of game play, unless its the processor over heating.

Bandit

[4Hero]

what you need is a dual core pentium, with 2 gig ram and a 512meg Nvidia martin, oh and 5.1 surround headphones []

p.s. the Logitech® Formula Vibration Feedback Wheel is fairly decent for 30 quid []

[craig mac]

So an AMD 64 3800, 2.5gb ram and my 512 card should cope[8-|]

Does that wheel also work with the PS2 ?

[RA Dunk]

Bandit , you could pick up an nvidia 6800 ultra or GT for cheap enough nowadays, i have one of them and can run everygame i have flat out with graphics maxed out as well, or you could go for one of the newer models think its the 7800 series now?

[4Hero]

you should be fine with that pc Craig []

ah dinnae ken aboot the ps2 though
