Well, I found it not bad for a quick blast, but I wouldn't reccomend it as a decent sim - perhaps in a few years, yes. I think i'm right in saying its being developed by 1 person, so they've done a remarkable job considering the task.  |

Thought this article from the developer was quite interesting; http://www.drivingitalia.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=24201Some new screenshots here; http://www.multiplayer.it/galleria.php?id=1852(Looks a lot like rfactor to me) I think an article in the last AutoSimSport said they were aiming for a release this year (might be wrong about that) but hopefully soon, I think it's looking pretty promising. |

Well the interview made it sound amazing. Whether its amazing coz it tries lots of new stuff (these thigns often come from the little guy), or its amazing coz its a good game, I dunno.

Well said Fozz. Agree entirely.
There's some nice looking stuff though, the tyre wear model looks very well done.

Sounds very promising. I did enjoy MP netKar a couple of years ago so will have to try it out.

Aye, the v1.0 is looking good.
Didn't like the way 0.99 worked with regards to setting up a session and suchlike

Looks like NetKar Pro is pretty close to release. The website has gone live (not much on there at present though); http://www.netkar-pro.com/It was previewed at some Italian event over the weekend, some vids from the event; http://www.drivingitalia.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=26287I think it looks like it might be very good |

Yes, I'm interested in seeing what it is too, they are promising some pretty good stuff. It'd be nice to see a good non ISI engine.

As NetKar Pro is pretty much multiplayer only, I'm expecting / hoping the netcode will be rock solid. It'd be nice to have a racing sim that 'just works' |
