Grand Prix 4 was announced, developed, demoed to press, reviewed and advertised for both PC and original XBOX, but only got released on PC due to the closure of the studio, layoffs and a tax writeoff. Sound familiar? #simracing #retrogaming #f1 #redbullring

Grand Prix 3, released in 1998, featured software rendering that is stunning in its own way. This meant people could still play GP3 with only a basic display adapter and no hardware acceleration if their CPU was powerful enough to run it. #simracing #retrogaming #f1 #redbullring

NASCAR Racing 3 released in 1999, when most of us were rocking either a 3DFX or had just launched NVIDIA to the moon by picking up their GeForce 256. #simracing #retrogaming #3dfx #nvidia #nascar

Last week I rebuilt an 8088 system that runs this sim on its 10MHz CPU. To this day, it's still arguably the 'most complete' Indy 500 experience. Indy 500 (1989) vs Real Life. #simracing #retrogaming #indy500 #indycar

Raced in 1990 and 1991, the Phoenix street circuit has actually been preserved with reasonable accuracy by Geoff Crammond's Fomrula One Grand Prix. Real footage speed adjusted as it was a practice lap of variable speed. #simracing #retrogaming #f1 #senna

Reminder that Pikes Peak license is exclusive to Sony for about a decade even though they’ve not used it. Yay. 🎉

@bsky.app is there a reason why you are using 300mb as the notified limit for uploading, but refusing a 284mb video? Is it because you're using 300,000,000 bytes for 300mb? FYI, 300mb is not 300,000,000 bytes. Can you fix this? It's been like this for every size you have limited to.

It might not be a Naval Base, but it is pretty flat, crazy, and by the water. Cleveland Airport in IndyCar Racing II. Wish the series would bring it back, too. #simracing #retrogaming #indycar

Donington real-life vs a 1985 racing simulation. How's that for track accuracy? Revs (1985) by Geoff Crammond. Donington was available on the track addon pack. Real footage has been slowed to match the Ralt F3 car in the sim. #simracing #retrogaming #revs

In 1994 Spain had two races, both the #SpanishGP and European Grand Prix. Here is Jerez in Grand Prix 2. #simracing #retrogaming #gp2 #f1

Grand Prix Legends helped widen my perspective on racing beyond the modern series of the time. I learned to appreciate retired or (especially in the case of those who raced during this era) those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the sport. #simracing #retrogaming #f1

Ok, lets hear it. How many of you tried NASCAR Racing (1994) setups in NASCAR Racing 2 (1996)? #simracing #retrogaming #nascar

Road America is the venue for this weekend's IndyCar race. The track hasn't really changed since it was presented in IndyCar Racing 2 (1995). #simracing #retrogaming #indycar

NASCAR Racing 2 intro movie. Did you love these as much as me? #simracing #retrogaming #nascar #n2

Could you have used a sim from 1985 for training? Yes. Revs (1985) clearly displays the correct direction, radius and (despite Silverstone being very flat) major elevation changes. Real footage has been speed adjusted because it is an F1 car (sim is a 1984 Ralt F3 car). #simracing #retrogaming #revs

NASCAR Racing (1994) was notable for the absence of the Dale Earnhardt car. With the 1996 release on Mac they had reached an agreement for licensing. #simracing #retrogaming #nascar #earnhardt

This chunky guy still works. 😳 Floppy for scale.

I'm working through the process of getting an old PC up and running. It's so old that the bios is actually on a floppy and it just saves the config to the rom chip. But it came with an upgrade to a 486... After replacing the battery I realize I need a 386 to initialize the system first.

Just how accurate were the tracks in Geoff Crammond's Formula One Grand Prix (released 1991 and 1992 depending on format)? Here's a side by side comparison between F1GP (Amiga version) and real-life. The real lap has been adjusted to match speed only. #simracing #retrogaming #f1 #senna #monza

Sports Car GT was originally a licensed Professional Sports Car Racing (what became ALMS and IMSA) game and was one of only a couple of titles not cancelled when EA purchased Westwood Studios (the creators of Command & Conquer). #simracing #retrogaming #sportscargt

Add tape, lets go for a qualifying run at Pocono in NASCAR Racing 2003 Season. #simracing #retrogaming #nr2003 #nascar #pocono400

Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 2 (1996). Though GP2 was based on the 1994 season it did not feature the temporary track safety measures that were there in real-life. #simracing #retrogaming #f1 #gp2 #spanishgp

Bobby Labonte knows you don't know enough about camber. From the NASCAR Racing 2 video guide. #simracing #retrogaming #nascar

When I did coaching one of the hardest things to explain to some sim racers is that there is space between full throttle and braking. This clip of the Noiker (Japan) stage in Richard Burns Rally does a decent job of showcasing that. #simracing #retrogaming #richardburnsrally #japanrally

My first video game is out now on Steam. Tremendous learning experience, to the point where a lot of it I would already do differently if I started over. It's got it's quirks, but I love it for what it is. It's $9.99, which feels about right. store.steampowered.com/app/4634590/... #bluefury #gamedev

Changes since last update: - Fixed pitting positions. - Added pit board in team colors that lifts to race side if not pitting, pit side if pitting. - Added team color placeholders for pit crew area. - Added clouds that orient to wind direction. ...(cont) youtu.be/5B8b2xQJixM #gamedev

youtu.be/CnDgZdNwHeU #gamedev Changes since last video: - Added sound. Different engine samples for each engine, varied pitch within those samples.

There's a number of features on display here. #gamedev

I'll try to get another progress video up soon, but here's a taste. #gamedev

Super challenging to take the code based race simulation and generate a 3D version of it, but I am getting there! #gamedev youtu.be/5CpQ0Yf9Y6A

The background simulation (and issues) hasn't changed since the last video, but I do have a 3D track model and all the cars now represented in 3D, which felt like a big enough step to post. youtu.be/BQ2hKCrFSd4 #gamedev

Flat color grass or my trademark quads? Cycling crowd color (watcht he crowd closely) quads, or naa? I should probably add walls and stuff, but I was distracted by getting cars on track. #gamedev

My first game, Blue Fury (helicopter action game) releases this month. Working on something slightly more on topic for a future game. Lots of talking in this one, and it's a LONG way out. Enjoy. youtu.be/mixAzCJPY2E

Here is the trailer for Blue Fury, my first video game. I made everything, even the trailer, but I did license the music. I'm no musician. :) Search "Blue Fury" on Steam and wishlist. youtu.be/Q0cmmEJsCyg #gamedev #newgame #indiegames

My game has been approved for sale (and played by) Steam. Approved for sale on or after May 6 (not sure what the exact date will be, I need to get the word out a bit more first). I need to do a trailer, etc. You can wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/4634590/... #gamedev

I made a game, and it's nearly finished.

Went into this a complete novice. - I've done all the models (learning blender and making mistakes as I went). - Procedurally generated terrain inspired by Zeewolf (1994) built on launch from a seed. - Procedurally placed trees within generated terrain. - Easy arcade flight model. - (cont...)

Haven’t been in a place where RSC has been a focus. We had to say goodbye to two of our ailing and elderly dogs just over a week ago. I wanted something to take my mind off things and, of all things, started making a game. The pace towards a single level tech demo is pretty good…

Fixed the box scans (oops, didn't see they were broken for a while) and made them links instead of embeds. racesimcentral.net/indycar-raci...
