Has anyone gave the new SIMBIN demo a whirl yet?

http://www.race-game.org/raceon/


I'll be giving it a go when I get home from visiting the folks for Thanksgiving this weekend but I'm wondering if it's a serious upgrade or just another iteration of Race '07. The graphics look pretty impressive but that might just be my eyes playing tricks on me.
 
I think it's pretty much another addon perse' of the race '07 game... i own race 07 and GTR evo, Race on is my next planned sim purchase, i though it was already out judging by amazon.com but gamestop doesn't even show it on their upcoming games list... i'll have to try out the demo
 
Yeah, I read on Shacknews that it's already released in North America but doesn't come to Steam (or Europe in general) until the 22nd of October.
 
first time ive seen anything about this. thanks op!

im d/ling the demo now and will give it a try in the next few days
 
I was wondering about this as well - specifically, I was wondering about the formula mode. Why can't one of these developers just give us a full fledged F1 mode. Okay, I realize that the license has been difficult to get, and that actually Codemasters has it now, but it would be pretty simple to mock something up. Just give us a full F1 season - that's all I want.

Man, am I ever getting impatient over the F1 game being produced by Codemasters - they had better not screw this thing up.
 
Codemasters makes fun games, but I don't think they will be able to really do the F1 license justice, though I hope they do, because I am a huge F1 fan. I did hear that an officially licensed WRC game will be coming out, but I forgot who is making it, maybe there will finally be a modern replacement for Richard Burns Rally.

As for the Race On demo, I am having trouble getting it to look good, mainly because I don't think that anti-aliasing is working. Maybe there is a problem with Windows 7/Vista x64 and anti-aliasing. I am having the same problem with the Race 07 demo on steam.

Has anyone else had this problem with demos on steam? Only to buy the full game and have AA working?
 
Been playing the Steam demo online with a friend. Real fun... but damn I suck! :c(

Edit: Wish there were more people playing online. Noticed my shift skills are alot better after playing this sim. :c)

I had the same problem with AntiAliasing running Steam version of Racer 07 running windows 7 x64. I think is a problem with Nvidia Drivers. In game antialiasing doesn't work (no difference between disabled and max setting). Overriding settings in Nvidia control panel for this particular program (race_steam.exe) doesn't work either. The only solution that does the trick of antialiasing Race games is changing global settings in nVidia Control Panel. It has the inconvenience of having to change the global settings each time you will run the program, and restore defaults to run other games, but I have not find any other way to have AA working.
 
I am not interested in this at all having all other expansions. It cost to much for some american muscle cars and three tracks. Though I loved the Camaro in STCC but I promised myself not to supporting Simbin on yet another update on this outdated engine.
 
My friend ended up buying Race On for me as a steam gift.

I must say it is really fun. 25 players online is a blast! Formula racing is sex. I also like how people try to play seriously and not bumper cars like NFS Shift. Also, force feedback on the wheel is AMAZING compared to Shift. Although I still play both games, simply because both are fun in their own way. :c)
