GP Bikes ALPHA 1 RELEASED!!

I don't see whats so difficult about it. I'm on keyboard and turned off all the aides. Turned a 56 second lap after just a few minutes of play. The bike holds itself up with fake forces. I guess I'm just used to mxsimulator.com where the bike will fall over if you arent steering properly at slow speeds. It's certainly got a ways to go before I'm convinced to pay any money for it.
wow we have a sauvant here with us ^

Different strokes for different folks.
damn, this aint workin for me. when i press the starter i can see text GB Bikes over a carbon bacground but than the game crashes. anyone else haves this? i have reinstalled 2 times but i just cant get it workin
Certainly a VERY good Alpha demo, with a bit more time on it, I could be persuaded to shell out for the license.

It's probably the most realistic bike sim this side of Tourist Trophy on the PS2, which isn't saying a huge amount, but it's certainly got potential.

As for the physics, and realism, personally I think bike physics are MUCH harder to convey in a sim than car physics, I don't think we will ever get the sort of immersion you can feel from a car sim, simply because riding a bike is a much more visceral experiance IMO.

you mean those gyroscopic forces some religious people believe in?
Quote from MR_B :Just a heads up...

*.pkz files can be opened within WinRAR. Although if you edit files within them (e.g. noale_r250_07.ini) the game will boot but the bike won't. Perhaps something to do with not being licenced?


Use a wheel!

wheel? bike-sim? nooo thanks.. tried that before.. didn't like it.. i rather buy a xbox pad to use

Congrats on being the comedian. And no, I wasn't talking about gyroscopic force.
Okay

Question

I tried to edit the tracks.pkz to try to get the Monterrey track to work in the demo in place of Lime Rock, it wouldn't start
Answer:
Dont try to cheat the demo.

If people who talk about cracking LFS get banned why do you think it's OK for any other game?

Just tilt your wheel back and fix a bit of wood to hold across it

@Sean:...says the guy who said he was going to teach the mods/forum a lesson on MSN to me.

Now. Where did I put my marshmallows

@garph: Because this isn't the official GpBikes forum. I'm not THAT dumb. (Despite trying to prove it...see my last few posts :P)

Any forum that wants any sort of official reputation or is moderated and run well, for any game, will not tolerate talk of cracking or illegal threads at all (unless that why and what the forum is about) and YES you are that dumb.

Im inocent till proven guilty. Prove it was me? What ya gonna do? Get the logs off msn? OMG, Im so scared. Prove it was me on msn? It could have been hacked?

I also have wireless, So the I.P is no proof. Someone can easly hack wireless with a laptop/psp.

Dont start shit. Im not thick you know.
I haven't even tried it yet but if it doesn't support Trackir for leaning the bike into corners and adjusting body position then it's a massive fail.

Still, good to see a decent bike sim rearing its head for the wheelnuts among us.

The fact that you had to offer up possible scenarios to cover up your actions pretty much makes you 'guilty', as for you being thick, well I think this post as with a few others you have posted lately sort of answers that.

So you better run along now and plan for operation 'Take revenge on the lfsforum, because it made me look like a spacko'

I will buy it

I'm using Ps3 Sixaxis and Pedals

Time after 30 Minutes: 53.1
What tracks are in the full version?
Just spent an extended session with it, using an xbox360 pad, and WOW, what a sim, it does an excellent job of representing riding a bike, as well as can be expected from a PC sim anyway, really impressed.
Really good fun, seems surprisingly natural to ride with a wheel and four pedal setup. Got it down to fairly consistent 56s but I can't yet hold a lap together going any faster. This is definitely going to have a step learning curve, still finding myself trying to brake at the 50m point and applying opposite lock on a bike leads to some interesting results when you don't know what you're doing

Any evidence of said forces/details on the physics engine or is this just some bullshit you made up?

Oh and mcgas go and shove your flag up your arse. It's not expensive, little more than an S1 license, and this is a specialist product from a small development team, just like LFS so expect no sympathy here.
