	That's strange... I bought my copy at Fry's Electronics in Phoenix last Saturday (4/16/2005). Just happened to see it on the shelf and picked it right up. What did I get? The British version? Is there a British version? Do I need to return it and get the new US version? -Gary Robinson On Wed, 20 Apr 2005 21:51:38 GMT, "Steve Smith" <blowbackNOSPAM@rochester.rr.com> wrote: From 10tacle:> *****************> New York, NEW YORK - April 20th, 2005 - Viva Media and 10tacle studios>announced today that GTR - FIA GT Racing Game is ready to release in the>United States and will ship to major retail locations on May 3rd, 2005.

From what I have read, and that is not a guarentee, there will be NO difference between the two versions. There could be some minor content variation like you may get the Simbin Ovals included with the USA disk, while owners of the Brit disk may have to dload instead. But the functionality of the two programs 'should' be identical. We'd have to get Eden or some of the other Simbin connected simmers to chime in and verify this. I for one have been waiting for this release for a long time. I don't even know if I will have the time needed to really dig into the sim properly. But the fact that Simbin share our roots, they are simmers, and modders and grown up kids just like us. I have heard they still have some of the ISI problems that all the ISI coded sims seem to share, but I also have heard they have stepped beyond the limits of the orignal code by a goodly margin. My poor weary depleted checkbook is standing by, I'd far rather give back to those who have been amongst us than some faceless crew of code monkeys. dave henrie

	What little I have had time to try GTR.... I find the most frustrating to be finding the right tweak for my TSW. I use an Audigy2 ZS game port and just haven't found a good setting. My setup works perfect on Papy sims. You have to hand it to Papy.. they still seemed to have had the best in game controller setup and calibrate routine. And, with my limited experience, the GTR online play has a way to go yet. Pray for a patch. I haven't tried all the cars yet, but the little Lotus GT3 is tons of fun to drive. When my TSW is "just right". -Gary Robinson On Wed, 20 Apr 2005 20:46:43 -0500, Dave Henrie <daveBITEMEhenrie@comcast.net> wrote: Gary Robinson <nospam@nospam.com> wrote in >news:j0td61h1301ibm84l0cfbvskfk85fsdv60@4ax.com:> That's strange...>> I bought my copy at Fry's Electronics in Phoenix last Saturday>> (4/16/2005).

	I would think Viva Media would have its name somewhere on the box if it's an official U.S. release - they're the new element. I've never heard of them, but they're apparently a well-known publisher of children's titles (like "Fritz 8," a chess game). From their site: "Viva Media, LLC is a privately owned New York company dedicated to publishing a wide array of interactive content of the highest standards. The company's collection of more than 40 multimedia titles tout more than 35 awards for excellence in publishing."

	Well, Gary has an Audigy ZS, so he isn't a total Luddite. Maybe he could spring for a clean one-owner ver of SE, only used on weekends.

	The only "names" on the box are Atari, Simbin and 10Tacle Studios. So I guess Fry's somehow got the Euro version? Like I said, I just happened to see it on the shelf and was a little surprised. But I haven't kept up a close watch on the GTR world so I just thought "here it is, I'll grab it". -Gary Robinson On Thu, 21 Apr 2005 10:46:28 GMT, "Steve Smith" <blowbackNOSPAM@rochester.rr.com> wrote: I would think Viva Media would have its name somewhere on the box if it's an>official U.S. release - they're the new element.

Gary Robinson 21 April 2005 18:45:49 [ permanent link ]
	LOL! Well, I had an old Rockfire USB/Gameport converter that I was using before. Finally just gave up on it. The gameport has MUCH better precision control than does the Rockfire, at least in Papy sims like NR2003 and GPL. I actually bought (recently) the Audigy FOR it's gameport. The old SoundBlaster Live was giving WindowsXP fits. But, I would certainly entertain the idea of installing the new TSW USB kit if I was certain it performed better than the Rockfire and at least as well as the gameport. I've only been back in sims a few months now after about a 3 year layoff. Then I was running 98SE and using gameports and sometimes the Rockfire. WindowsXP seems to be a little more finicky about the gameports so I realize I am a fossil in this regard. I miss my old PDPI L4 digital game port. Now THAT was precision! Alas, only if ISA slots still walked with us trogs -Gary Robinson On Thu, 21 Apr 2005 10:48:52 GMT, "Steve Smith" <blowbackNOSPAM@rochester.rr.com> wrote: C'mon, Gary, nobody but pre-Jurassic trogdolytes uses a game port anymore.>Contact TSW in re a USB conversion kit.

	I kept my PDPI for years (up to and including a 1.3-GHz Athlon mobo), but it doesn't work w. XP, so...poof! I have a Momo Force (red) w. TSW pedals (the Momo pedals bolt right onto the stalks!), all USB. Works like crazy!

	There have been rumors that the International (American) release would contain a) a 1.4 patch (the Fry's copy oughtta have at least 1.3), b) the oval-track pack, or c) both.
