Complete Zoom 2022: What shall it be gents?

[DaleTona]

this feels like going from NR03 to EA's Nascar games

Funny thing is AMS2 and the Madness engine is a extensively reworked and upgraded version of the isimotor used in the EA PC and XBOX360/PS3 NASCAR games.

Actually, outside of iRacing, which uses thier own engine dating back to GPL, and AC/ACC, which dates pack to NetKarPro, almost every other major sim on the market is some form of evolution of the original isiMotor used in Sports Car GT (RF2, SMS , and R3E each used/made their own developments on top of the original architecture.)

Ultimately AMS2, RF2, and R3E are as much SCGT as iRacing is Grand Prix Legends. Much evolved, modernized, improved and changed in almost all aspects but you can still track certain tendencies and underlying structural elements to the original source.

I guess it goes to show just how influential ISI's work really was. At this point isimotor based sims and offshoots are easily well in the double digits. SCGT, The EA PC NASCAR games, The EA PC F1 games, The various SimBin titles, the Madness engine titles(PCars1/2 AMS2, NFS Shift 1/2), RF1 and RF2, AMS1, ASR/ASRX, R3E, NASCAR 21: Ignition and those are the ones I can recall off the top of my head. That's excluding teams using the engine as a basis for real life simulator work.

True, true.. These newer sims are beautiful and sound amazing, but still not even close to the online experience that regular AC offers. I got them -mostly- to turn a couple good laps, then look at the replay. lol

 

[Highbank]

Ya, it's not like we weren't having fun, you know?

 

[Highbank]

BUT we've come this far and folks have spent money, we need to see it thru, it could be awesome

 

[Highbank]

I need to put up something incredible instead of the basic sim stuff, Angry will just have to catch up...or not

I agree, Actually I think this will make the racing closer possibly as we are all learning together. It is for me a totally different feel that i have to get used too. it's still a racing sim after all and I will race anything,

 

[Highbank]

Yes sir...cause that's what we do!

You better believe it! Ya'll gonna have to deal with me sober for the foreseeable future as it is!

 

[Highbank]

UH OH! John without the recipe, I don't know 'bout that...

 

[Andle]

And just FYI.. Weather be damned, ya'll don't want no part of me in that Mini!

oh I think I do... as long as I get a dpi

 

[Blitzman]

Angry & I were doing some laps in the Mini's, was working well.
got used to them a bit now too :0)

 

[Highbank]

Turned it up a notch, GT4 @ Laguna Seca, I'd love a Road America or Road Atlanta for these, or hell a Riverside would be a blast...

I haven't even tried them but I hope they're better than the AC versions/

Also, I'm going to start a new thread for the AMS2 testing stuff that is more to the point, I feel like we've made the call...
