Rich Hilleman, EA employee 39, introduces the hosts of Computer Chronicles to his Ferrari F1 simulator. A year later, he would sign Papyrus' Indianapolis 500: The Simulation to a publishing deal. #simracing #retrogaming #computerchronicles #ferrarif1 Posting sponsored by simcraft.com #ad

Tomorrow I will try to make a video about the adaptive AI, and why I hope every serious racing sim steals the implementation to improve the offline experience in racing sims.

You can wishlist Lowside on Steam now. (This is the bike racing game I have occasionally been posting videos of). store.steampowered.com/app/5493460/... #bikeracing #lowside Thank you for the support, simcraft.com #ad

It might be 26 years old, but The Real Car Simulator R - Nissan Edition (2000) still has amazing physics, and I wish we'd seen more of this engine and these developers. #simracing #retrogaming Post sponsored by simcraft.com #ad

GTR (2004) featured a Spa 24hrs that ran in stages of static lighting because it didn't have a dynamic day-to-night. People forget that GTR, based on rFactor (that did feature day-to-night), released before rFactor itself. #simracing #retrogaming #gtr #rfactor Posting sponsored by simcraft.com #ad

NASCAR Racing 3 (1999) Trailer focused on making sure you understood that despite having an older physics base, it really did pack some great new features. #simracing #retrogaming #nascar Posting sponsored by simcraft.com #ad

The bike game I am making that I recently shared a video of, the tracks are made up of a plain CSV file (less than 300kb) that generates into the 3D model when loading. Here is a quick look at their editor, which does the same. #gamedev #lowside Post sponsored by simcraft.com #ad

I love that someone at Papyrus had to create unique ways to describe driving every oval and then, especially, an oval where you are flat-out the entire lap. Video guide from NASCAR Racing 2003 Season. #simracing #retrogaming #nascar #yellawood500 Sponsored by simcraft.com - give 'em a visit. #ad

I ask for $2 on Facebook if people like what I post. This was a response on a Rennsport DLC news post. Don't do this kind of thing to any creator. I am LITERALLY the person who first publicized that Rennsport were trashing other studios having a 20 year old physics engine - while using one.

I think I'm going to have to commit to a low poly look on this one. I don't have the skill or time to do more and, honestly, it's probably a better way for me to actually get the game done.

Bike racing game (alpha 0.4g). Loosely based on the things I liked about No Second Prize (1992) on the Amiga. This is an early version of a second track. #bikeracinggame #retrogaming #nosecondprize #gamedev Post sponsored by simcraft.com #ad

Before Discord or Forums, was Usenet. rec.autos.simulators newsgroup was where we talked racing sims. I am currently putting together an improved archive that spans its entire lifetime and pulls masses of data in the process. #simracing #retrogaming #usenet This post sponsored by simcraft.com #ad

Some different versions of Grand Prix 2 in my collection, including one UK version signed by Geoff Crammond and an Australian release that has a limited edition poster signed by "12 F1 drivers". #simracing #retrogaming #gp2 #gcr2 This post sponsored by simcraft.com #ad

As someone who worked in licensing for some time, always interesting to see regional differences. I originally owned the green one on the left, a sim I played before I even knew NASCAR was real. #simracing #retrogaming #nascar This post sponsored by simcraft.com #ad

I'm anti data centers as they are currently being built, but find "AI" fascinating (there is no intelligence to be had here, this is machine learning and a weighted choice, no human-like intelligence there), so I have an adapted model based on the largest fully offline model I can fit across two...

We've had flying cars since the 90s. Here is the 1967 Ferrari 312 taking on the Flugplatz in Grand Prix Legends (1998) #simracing #retrogaming #nurburgring #nordschleife Video sponsored by simcraft.com #ad

F1 just announced a 10-year deal to race in Rwanda. This is the first time F1 will race in Africa since 1993 at Kyalami. Here is a lap of Kyalami in Grand Prix Legends, based on the 1967 layout. #simracing #retrogaming #f1 #f1africa This post sponsored by simcraft.com #ad

US and British releases of NASCAR Racing 4 (2001) side by side. The US version released February, 2001, while the British version came out a few months later with notable changes. #simracing #retrogaming #nascar
