Virtual Grand Prix 3 - Monza & Demo Added
Monza has been added to the lineup of tracks for Virtual Grand Prix 3, making this a good time to take a little closer look at the simulation.
Developed by Paolo Cattani, Virtual Grand Prix 3 brings a full field of open-wheel cars which can be raced on real life tracks such as Monza, Imola and Indianapolis. The simulation comes with realistic physics and an advanced tire model, another prime feature of VGP3 is the challenging AI that continuously improves by learning the tracks.
Virtual Grand Prix 3 is available for a very fair price of 14,90€, including five tracks, one year of updates and the comprehensive track editor. If you´re unsure if this sim is for you, make sure to give the available demo a try. If you´re already a VGP3 user, you can now download Monza, giving you another great track to race these cars on.
So are the physics as good as say, nKp? :crosses fingers:

It’s pretty good for a free sim, but no where near netKar Pro.

With the demo you can find the answer for yourself. ;)
There still is a lot of work to do, but the base is good, imho. :)

VGP3 is an amazing sim even in its current stage of development.
The car and especially the tyre physics are one of the best i’ve seen in an open wheel simulation. On par or little bit more advanced than NetKar Pro, much more advanced than any ISI Gmotor based sim, IMO.
The FFB reminds me of NetKar Pro or LFS, but more informative. You can even feel the vibrations from flatspotted tyres! For a better FFB feeling in the low speed corners, you can reduce the FF Linearity slider, BTW.
The AI is very good and puts up a good fight. It reminds me of GP4 excellent AI, and its better than GTREvo, IMO.
Graphics are good (not best, but good). If you force antialiasing and anisotropic filtering from the graphic card control panel, VGP3 looks on par with GTREvo, IMO.
Currently in development are changeable weather effects and full car damage AFAIK.
The best thing its open for modding, as rFactor. They even released a track editing tool TrackDesigner3.
AutoSimSport has very good review of VGP3 in vol.4 iss.4.
