Peter Cox Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 "Sad and lonely old b******d"...because I have been known to play TOCA 2 race driver online against other IP addresses on the odd occasion. Not that it's anything like the real thing but does anyone else do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhawkins Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 That's not one I've played online...been thinking of getting it. Trouble with online racing is you always seem to get the odd A*** who things it's great to pile into everyone on purpose at the start...

S8ight Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 must admit after finally finishing futurama i have been playing vice city a bit lately, but i do find it a bit sad to play against other people on line. theres a real world out ther dont forget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 For on line race sims, it doesn't get much better than Grand Prix Legends, IMHO. Sure, it takes a bit of setting up, and the occasional alteration to a file or two in the game, but the cars and tracks.... ooooh baby... If only I had the time and money to get a new wheel....

GPL did have great graphics but was always a bit of a faff (sp?) for me (especially as my last HDD went SNAFU uith all the GPL config clanges I'd painstakingly made). However, now tlat I have a new machine, your post has inspired me to try again. I've got a MS FF Sidewinder wheel and pedal set that has a gameport plug. My new machine only has USB ports. I've tried to install a game port on a 3rd party sound card but the machine still won't run the game port. Any way of converting a game port peripheral to USB? Failing that, do you need a MS FF Sidewinder wheel and pedal set (with software) - only drawback is that the wheel works off a serial port, rather than USB...offers?

DickieB Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I used TOCA2 to learn all the tracks at the beginning of last season - not tried it online though. I now have broadband so could give it a go..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Peter. My machine only has USB ports free. I have *no idea* what a game port even looks like. I'm not a serious gamer, but I do like to dabble when I have a quiet moment... which is not often these days. My wheel has been U/S for over a year.....
