Classic British Flight Sim

Well, I thought I would try my hand at something a bit different, Grand Prix Legends. WOW, how difficult this is!!!

Not like your usual driving games, these cars HAVE to be driven, when cornering careful balance of the throttle is essential to get the blighter round, not to mention steering control!!

Tried my very first race and.........Well, will let you be the judge of it!!

Keep trying you'll get it right and get the Isle of Man course add on, it's excellent.

Doing better than I could Nigel

Cheers for that

Some of those drivers were nutters! John Surtees always seemed intent in taking me out

I put mine back in the box after it told me I needed a Voodoo2 to play it I'm sure Rick told me there was a patch to drag it into the late 20th Century but I never got that far

Dave, if the urge is with you download the auto-installe just scroll down the page, it will upgrade GPL to what you saw but read the instruction!!

If setting up the car drives you mad like it did me then go here and scroll to the bottom of the page or even try some of the other setups from the menu, I actually got into the top 4 at Silverstone!!

Hello Nige

I never got to see the vid either mate. It says it requires Flash 8 to work and checking my version, I appear to have v10 so why it was warning me I needed v8, I've no idea. I lost interest at that point.. sri

I don't really do driving stuff anymore. If I feel the urge for something different, I either go and look at FSX or shoot something in CoD

I've always wanted to do driving games, but 99% of them I turn off after not very long for one reason - unrealistic expectations. Why is it that none of these programmers can put in a friggin' Virtual Crew Chief/Engineer? I want to drive and I do want to learn to do the setups, but until I do, why can't there be an option to have things work like they do in the real world - your Crew Chief/Engineer sets up the car with a "baseline" and then you tell him if it's working or not and what you're getting then he makes the appropriate changes. It's annoying as hell to try and scroll through 4 windows of options while still driving the car to make all the changes I need instead of just being able to just "say" what is wrong (i.e. understeer/tight going into the turns, neutral through the center, and oversteer/loose coming off) and then have the "Virtual CC/CE" make the required changes.

What would be even better would be for them to allow a real person to be your crew chief/engineer and have them direct that part of the race with you.

There's a lot of truth in that Chris

Just managed to see the vid Nige.. (an online bike shop wanted to install Flash10.. even though I thought I'd got it, I let it and hey presto)

It's amusing but begs the question.. why would anyone want to publish footage of themselves driving like that
