Any idea what the protection will be? Or will it just use username and pass, and the lap times will be linked to username?


I don't know, there isn't even an official forum or some kind of community..

Even if he is doing it for 10$ per trailer, he still would be rich Laughing

In the era of ripped games, DLCs and "premium" material, that could even sound reasonable Laughing

game engine is a slightly modified version of netkar pro (so it can use trackir).

some videos :






pricey? sure.
good? probably. especially if ure in the hotlap kind of competition.



ah, looking for videos and impressions ive found also this:


my reaction : Shocked Shocked Shocked

look how the engine reacts well to the tracks imperfections (tracks are laser scanned, btw).

The bad news is that Ferrari Academy is based on a 100% simulative physics engine (the Netkar Pro's one as Andrea correctly said) while Codie's F1 2010 will probably show a semi-sim driving model (even though rather satisfying with the aids off).

It's needless to say that a hypotetical F1 2010 completely based on the Netkar Pro engine would be literally mindblowing! Razz

And will have a target buying audience of less than 10. Which is why it'll never be done.

Reviews are saying that this car is reasonably easy to drive and predictable
so just because you see sim as the word describing a race game dont assume that you need to be a race driver to play it.

I bought this and it feels just like nkPRo but with a Formula1 car Very Happy
Tha bad thing is that I'm using an old Driving Force EX without FF(lightning fried the power supply) so the lack of FF and the turning degree of 90 to the left and right makes the steering too sensitive and there aren't enough settings fro configuring my wheel to make it feel better.

My current best laptime is a 59.8 so I'm 2 secods behind Massa, hehe.

I'm using a G25 and the FFB from the track is pretty much non-existent unless you go over curbs, so I don't think it's you, it's the game. They say they laser scanned it but I don't think it's laser scanned the bumps (or they didn't actually use that data) because it feels completely flat - it's as if they laser scanned only the dimensions and painted in the track.

My wheel is definately F'ed up so there's noway around that. No FF means no resistance when turning, which makes being precise difficult -> hard tostay consistent.
I'm down to 58.1 now and I can know I can go much faster, just need to to get one totally clean lap in Very Happy

give me money so I can buy a new wheel Very Happy

And here it is Very Happy
Ferrari.Virtual.Academy.2010-iND - 146.24 MB

Quote:
1. Install Ferrari Virtual Academy.

2. Copy and replace original exe with
cracked one.

3. Use any (fake) email/serial
combo to login!

P.S.
If after selecting the map, setting up
the game & pressing ok button you get:
"Another computer is logged with your
account" error - don't worry,
just re-login again with same details
select the same map, set up the race
and press ok - this time will work.



Wow, this was probably the shortest ever lasting driving game on my comp.
Install, setup, try..
..try some more, get sick from awful sound, exit, uninstall.

Thought it was pretty good myself, just lacking in terms of both features and content. Would like to see how this develops but truth be told once the williams comes out for iRacing it's probably going to be completely forgotten about.
