WRC 3 for PC

[zero7159]

Just a quick note about this game guys, which I bought a few weeks ago. You can get it for PC via a digital download from amazon.com. It costs $40. Here is a link:

The only true downside of the game is no triple screen support. For some, this alone is a deal breaker. I decided to nonetheless try it out and I am glad I did. Its definitely a classic rally game, much closer to Richard Burns Rally or the old Colin McRae games than the newer Dirt series. The graphics are very good, stunning in some locales, such as Germany. The cars handle very well, and the force feedback is solid, but not spectacular like Richard Burns Rally or Dirt. The game is definitely tough, I am playing on the easiest skill level and yet I still cannot win every race.

ISR is going to be posting their review shortly. I will post an update once I see that.

The guys at EC Sim Hardware are working on some mods for this game, which currently include a physics engine, and could include triple screen support in the future. Check out this link:

In short, if you like single player rally, this is a worthwhile purchase.

Looks like triple screens are here.

with triple screen support this definitely makes it something to investigate

Is there a option to remove the steering wheel in cockpit ? Thank you.

I have not seen such an option, but it could be there and I just did not find it. I do not like the steering wheel in the cockpit view. I will look as soon as possible and report back.

There is a mod that allows for triple screens, but it did not perform very well and caused a huge FPS hit, even if eye candy was turned off. The company behind the mod has patched it, resulting in a much smoother triple screen experience, with an average of 60 FPS.

I tried it on Monday night and it works great. They also simplified the otherwise complicated install process.
