Title: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: David M on March 19, 2006, 05:31:22 PM +0000 nKPro's release date has been set at 10th April.
Pre-order is avaliable now avaliable for 30 euros (about £20 according to xe.com @ 1730) Anyone gonna get it? :) Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: fozzmeister on March 19, 2006, 05:43:34 PM +0000 Yeh I'm almost certainly gonna get it.
Update: Bought, you save 20% by pre-ordering. Fozz Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: David M on March 19, 2006, 05:47:26 PM +0000 Likewise, need to get me some money though!
£20 sounds immense, and apparently it runs well on older systems :) Any ideas how well? AthlonXP2000+ 768Mb RAM ATi Radeon 9200SE Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: fozzmeister on March 19, 2006, 05:53:03 PM +0000 Likewise, need to get me some money though! £20 sounds immense, and apparently it runs well on older systems :) Any ideas how well? AthlonXP2000+ 768Mb RAM ATi Radeon 9200SE Immense, as in big/expensive, I'd say its about right for a game. Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: picnic on March 19, 2006, 05:53:57 PM +0000 I'll probably jump, quite liked the previous version

Immense as in great price for game :) Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: fozzmeister on March 19, 2006, 06:46:35 PM +0000 Well if your good at hunting, most games can be got for 20, except those excellent products that are published by EA, which always seem to be more expensive, I wonder if they charge the shops more...
Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: Simon Gymer on March 19, 2006, 07:59:04 PM +0000 I'll wait till you lot have tried it.
I take the stuff in AutoSimSport with a large pinch of salt on this one, not even a demo to try or any real reviews yet. Look forward to hearing what you think about it. Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: David M on March 19, 2006, 10:46:14 PM +0000 Aye, I might wait until release day and give the Demo a go.
Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: popabawa on March 19, 2006, 10:52:04 PM +0000 Wicked! Another pre-order here :)
Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: Rich_A on March 20, 2006, 12:20:37 PM +0000 Looks great will pre-order. Open wheel tastic. ;D
Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: David M on March 20, 2006, 06:10:07 PM +0000 I'm gonna see if I can get my sister to pre-order for me tonight
This was encouraging: Specs (http://forum.rscnet.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=356783&d=1142799140). Apparently (from Kunos) thats the spec required to run everthing full up - so I should be sorted to run it alright even on my old hardware! Cheers, David Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: Truetom on March 20, 2006, 06:38:56 PM +0000 Seems nice and promising, I just don't like the cars. Seem more like a toy to me. :-\
Will wait for some of you to try it. Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: PaulW on March 21, 2006, 05:03:32 PM +0000 I take the stuff in AutoSimSport with a large pinch of salt on this one Amen to that- sorry but you early adopters are going to road test it for me before I splash the hard earned ;)Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: picnic on March 30, 2006, 09:14:48 AM +0100 From this (http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=248783) thread on RSC
Quote TGM: Multiplayer: how is it and which features? M72: multi in netKar PRO is maily studied for championships and leagues instead of pickup races. So there is the possibility to do tests, qualify and race in different days [...] to edit starting grids, add ballasts and so on. Just need them to develop some decent GT cars then ;) Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: Simon Gymer on March 30, 2006, 10:26:35 AM +0100 Jumping the gun a bit. It might be a rubbish game fullstop. Live For Speed has a great dedicated server, but the game itself is pants! :)
Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: picnic on March 30, 2006, 11:09:27 AM +0100 But at least they've thought about it, Simbin have had 2 goes so far without this sort of support and I've seen nothing to say GTR2 will be any better :P
Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: fozzmeister on March 30, 2006, 12:32:34 PM +0100 SimBin: Take ISI code, make some pretty gfx, ff, and sounds, job done, not that's so wrong or anything.
NK: has been taken from the start with some advanced features, but like Shark said, could still be pants... I bought as much to see what innovations are coming (to all racing sims eventually, hopefully) as to how good the game actually is Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: whitham69 on March 30, 2006, 02:01:28 PM +0100 SimBin: Take ISI code, make some pretty gfx, ff, and sounds, job done, not that's so wrong or anything. NK: has been taken from the start with some advanced features, but like Shark said, could still be pants... I bought as much to see what innovations are coming (to all racing sims eventually, hopefully) as to how good the game actually is From what I can gather it seems like it will be a driver/manager game. which will be welcome. Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: fozzmeister on March 30, 2006, 02:09:05 PM +0100 I hope not, from what I've read, your car is like a physical thing, if u smash it, the crew fix it, which takes time. I don't mind the buying cars thing, providing its not too much time earning etc or i can cheat.

I have horrible feeling the GTR2 server will be no different from the GTL one and that would be a massively wasted opportunity. For NetKar though the cars have to feel right like they do for GTR and GTL, that is more important to me than anything else. We shall see soon, not far away now. Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: fozzmeister on March 30, 2006, 03:34:06 PM +0100 define right?
;D Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: picnic on March 30, 2006, 04:01:06 PM +0100 We shall see soon, not far away now. Big day the 10th. Doing another track day round Castle Combe :o, might have to pop home at lunch time to see if the download is up :D Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: fozzmeister on March 30, 2006, 04:16:49 PM +0100 huh, its out on the 3rd.

Always been the 10th... http://www.netkar-pro.com/eng/shop.html Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: picnic on March 30, 2006, 05:23:36 PM +0100 When are you getting rid of that wrong wheel drive car and getting a proper circuit car? :P ;) :angel: You've seen my driving ability in the virtual world. I need all the help I can get in the real one :laugh: Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: fozzmeister on March 30, 2006, 07:14:47 PM +0100 huh, its out on the 3rd. Always been the 10th... http://www.netkar-pro.com/eng/shop.html Arse, distracting me by putting pre-order available till 3rd. Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: whitham69 on March 30, 2006, 10:03:05 PM +0100 Does anyone know what camara views there are to choose from. ie bonnet/incar/swing.
Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: popabawa on April 05, 2006, 04:43:45 PM +0100 Is there any interest in a netkar-Pro fun race on the 10th, assuming we have it in our grubbies at that point?
Might be a laugh to see how we all get on with it on it's first day. Not sure if Mr Picnic's server will be available but I can try to host a race if not :) Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: David M on April 05, 2006, 05:07:43 PM +0100 Does anyone know what camara views there are to choose from. ie bonnet/incar/swing. I think the only view is an incar view :) Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: whitham69 on April 05, 2006, 05:26:30 PM +0100 Does anyone know what camara views there are to choose from. ie bonnet/incar/swing.

Might be a laugh to see how we all get on with it on it's first day. Not sure if Mr Picnic's server will be available but I can try to host a race if not :) Server maybe free ;) I'm on a trackday but should be home by 6. Assuming all goes well a server will be up. Again it will be interesting to see how the server copes, seems the grid size is currently limited to 16. Not a problem for the 10th I suspect but would be for more serious racing later. That is apart from a decent tin-top mod ;D Title: Re: netKar Pro - Release Date Post by: popabawa on April 06, 2006, 10:27:40 AM +0100 Nice one Picnic, I'll deffo be joining you :)
