Be that as it may (and I am no newbie, i've never taken more than 30 mins to complete any of the first 3-4 lisences), I do prefer simulations. However this was a large contrast to the difference between the previous releases ie 1-2-3. I had always thought that they did well in the intial fun factor, which is cut back now, but say what.
Let me see if I get your logic straight. You prefer simulations, but you dislike when the software is designed to simulate the reality so much that it is a pain to learn. Is that what you are saying?
It's a big contrast because Polyphony Digital are now familar with the PSII machine and tweaked it out to the best of their ability. It is a big improvement, not a set back.
These are the most difficult License tests ever, but I got all gold in every one. They were frustrating as hel to do, but I got them in less than a week. It took me like a month to get em in GT3. Just sit with the title and learn again.
