NKPro 1.3 - Hill climb at Trento is a must have
NKPro finally gets a track which will ensure I put some time and effort into it for
a change. This long, winding climb up a mountain is a real test of your skills, and although nobody could accuse the new rain effects of being perfect, they are surprisingly convincing once you get into the swing of things. And I mean swing of things. There are so many tight hairpin turns that a three screen setup is almost compulsory. You spend half your time driving through the side windows. :-) NKPro may not be in any danger of achieving critical mass from an online POV, but Trento is NKPro's Nordschleife, and you don't need any other cars in sight. This is one of sim racing's great experiences IMO, along with GT5's 'Ring, iRacing's Skip Barber, GPL's... well, everything, and Powerband on the Acorn A5000 (maybe ;-). Andrew McP |

NKPro 1.3 - Hill climb at Trento is a must have

The website tells you what to copy over from a previous installation to save a possible delay/problem with authentication. NKPro isn't a sim I've spent a lot of time with, but Trento really is a great sim experience (especially in the new Osella). It's a very narrow, very long, and very hard track to complete without damage. Or without disappearing into one of the many off-track black holes which re-set you (iRacing style) to the pits. :-) Speaking of iRacing, it's a little coincidental that iRacing's free month offer has appeared only a few days after this big NKPro update came out. I wouldn't have thought NKPro is likely to be a threat, as it doesn't have a big online footprint. But then the weekly stats posted here... https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?...COqflZoE&h l= en#gid=13 ....seem to show that most of the recent iRacing growth has been on the oval side, not road. So it might be possible they saw a statistically significant dip in road racing in recent days. It's probably just a coincidence, but everyone loves a conspiracy theory, right? :-) Either way, I've spent more time with NKPro over the last few days than I have in all the previous time I've owned it. Lapping on your own is pretty dull, but not when the next hairpin turn is only a few moments away. And then of course there's the rain. Not perfect, and in many ways I prefer GT5's weather, but I haven't visited GT5's Nordschleife in my upgraded Enzo since NKPro 1.3 came out. Yes, I'm enjoying learning Trento *that* much!

NKPro 1.3 - Hill climb at Trento is a must have
Andrew,
2things, sorry about the iRacing cold turkey thing you are pursuing (sp?) hope it works out for you, hope I don't have to join you, lol. I might need help, I was a big netKar fan, ran a bunch online in the day. But if I recall, I couldn't run NKpro at that time, think I paid for a sub, but wouldn't run so I moved on. I might give it a try again. I'll holler if I decide to download and redo my license, since them days I have had several ISP's not sure which I would have registered with.
