Sounds good smile

I'm really too old for F1, even though it is my favorite sport and about the only one I really keep up with.
I may buy it sometime though, just to play around.

Well,
An update. After tweeking with the detail settings, I can now have the cars go by me without the jagged graphics glitch. So far, i still must use one of the drivers to not have it crash to desktop in 08-09 season, but i can deal with it.

I can see why Plainsmen likes this over Gp4, it does have that twitchy feel of a F1 car. The sim is more in depth that GP4, so its learning curve will be stiff. I need alot of practice... Im using Interlagos as my test bed, as its a more flowing course than the others to me.

I still highly recommend this Full Updated Sim. Very well done and supported.

ISI were the originally developers; EA was just the publisher. ISI is why F1C was (and is) so great. That "twitchy F1 feel" is awesome, ain't it? smile But I have the original with the Ralph Hummerich updates for '03 - '04. Can't say what this newer "modder" has done to it.

I suggest trying it out. Its worth the $20 to have 3 seasons and he will be working on 2010 as well.

I did not know ISI was the original developers.
