Had a little fun today... and a thought

[yoshimura]

Today I installed again ePSXe, finally bothered to search for the zlib error in 1.7.0, dlded some newer plugins and voila - GT2 looks a lot more eyecandy than last time I ran it. So had a little fun with some of my "tuned" cars and decided to share a screen or two. This isn't the best I can manage, just had really good time and wanted to share :

I just couldn't believe how I shaved 2-3 seconds or even more of my lap times and driving this Skyline became so pleasing by adjusting the camber by just a few 0. of degree (before adj. the car was all over the place, no grip, front and back). So what do you think, is my "hot" lap hot at all, or even close to warm

And the thought - I always loved Autumn ring, it's a great track and together with Apricot Hill feels closest to real life track. So - Autumn ring Challenge anyone? I'm thinking loads of classes, NA and FI, at like 50hp increments, so everybody could take a shot with their favorite car, from Kei cars to Skylines and Cobras. What do you think?

If you make a challenge (any cars, any type of race) - count me in

I'm thinking time attack, all sorts of mods allowed, except race mod and hybrids, the Midfield challenge did pretty well, but I think there should be more classes so everybody could use their best grip tuned car. It'll make it a lot more pleasurable I think.
So A.A.Z. is in, come on people, let's make it happen, anybody else interested? Let's do some driving, stop talking about hidden things in the game, which Skyline is n and which isn't, etc. etc. ...

The trouble is, there are not many people left here And even less of those who could sign in to have a couple of races...

Could you clarify the rules - Just so I know for sure whether I'll be eligable to compete.

And is it a competition or just showing our times - what we can do within a set number of laps or something?

 

[yoshimura]

I'll think about all the rules and make a separate thread especially for the challenge. And yes, it'll be a competition, with leaderboard, the fastest in any class receives... well, I guess respect for being a good driver/tuner

 

[GBWH1991]

Ok, sounds good.

Do we have to enter every round, or can we forfeit a round - I may be unavalible or very late entering due to spending time with family over easter.

What exactly is this ePSXe? Does it allow you to play your PS1 games on your PC by just popping in the disc?

 

[A.A.Z.]

Sort of, yeah.
