Break (Jagged Alliance 2 - Rally Driving Games)

Lately my JA2 games keeps crashing in some maps, it seems that it is happening to other people also and the latests builds of the v1.13 mod solve it.

I have downloaded the latest build (407) but haven't test it yet.

Meanwhile I have taken an old driving wheel I have from Guillemot and tried a couple of driving games. Richard Burns Rally and Xpand Rally. Both have given me a good taste and if the problems with JA2 continue I will be stick to them for a while.

The first one has a increadible realism and nice driving feeling, true that with the most realistic setting you will break the car with any crash, but you can change that with the ingame settings. It has a nice driving school section that teaches you a lot of driving techniques that seem to be used by real rally drivers. After it I tried Xpand Rally and you can see then how easy it feels. Playing with the simulation setting the car control was really good and pretty realistic, while easier than RBR.

I played a couple of races and with the less powerfull cars I had no problem, the ones with high HP go much much faster and it requires a lot of skill to not have a spin or crash. Anyway, the graphics are really nice, good control and feel, a lot of options, with very good and clear controller settings (RBR seem to be very complete but more complex to understand)... So I think I will have a good time with any of them, still they are also good to be played at the same time with JA2 as they are different genres and have opposed tempos. Only if I can stop JA2 from crashing...
