I think the only reason SIM racing may be slow right now (it sure isn't dead) is there hasn't been a REAL Nascar Racing sim on the shelves for going on 4 years now. I honestly believe if they took NR2003, patched the known issues, updated the cars and tracks, and maybe tweaked the physics a bit, it would sell like gangbusters, especially if properly promoted. No, it can never happen, but if it could... I also think it's getting close to possible to have a proper SIM the caliber of NR2003 on xBOX or PS3. I think the horsepower may be there now. There would definitely need to be work done on controllers though. Using thumsticks just would not cut it. In fact, if it ever gets done, I hope there is a host option that says "Wheel Required". Again, we'll never see it though. One can wish  -Larry I think consoles are still a bit behind. It takes a ton of horsepower to |
flight simulations have very complex physics, and get more so with about
every release. The video rendering is about there though, but until the
processor power gets to where the PC is I don't think that a "true"
simulation is possible. 5yrs down the road it probably will happen.

I remember Grand Prix by Activision for my Atari. Hey, I still know of a Viper Racing group that runs most nights. If they come up with the racing game, someone out here will drive it! Merry Christmas! Gil |
