Yea, good point. All current, major sims have code based in the US.

Isn’t Need for Speed American? But I’m not taking sides – Simbin use an American graphics engine.

Lol, way to go Trebor. Guess you forgot that iRacing is very American, just as all the praised NASCAR simulation games? That in general the racinggames made about American racing series have always tended to be aimed at realism, while the European titles get more and more arcadey?

But i suppose if you’re a sim racer then you’ll know the Simbin name and know that they generally make great games.

what? it wasnt having a go at american people its just the way it is. Look at any american game or games that have been made for the american market and then brought to europe, the graphics are always better than the gameplay.

“sureley if it was gonna be ALMS they would want to put it onto the Lizard engine as all most American gamers care about is graphics.”

Was that really necessary?

Could be an acronym for “Our graphics engine is Too Old And Dated”?

I do like their sims, but the phrase flogging a dead horse comes to mind when it comes to their butchered Gmotor2 engine.

TOAD? Lizard?

If it is ALMS then they’ve had a quite serious injection of capital from somewhere… the licence is big money. TOAD could be some kind of acronym, though :P

if not , it might be it … if so , you will deserve a price when its anounced. come to think of it .. ALMS might just be the thing. would be great for the american market.
