Hi there , I remember Flag to Flag Racing being a real simple steering system , It was awesome , it felt like a NASCAR Game.

Now the MONOCO F1 Game , that game without a doubt must be more geared towards people who love steering wheels. It does say Simulation

Now what about theses two F1 Games pictured below. ? Is it simply like FLAG TO FLAG Indy ?

I wouldn't exactly call monaco a simulation even by late 90's standards but it's a lot more realistic than the world grand prix games...

See yeah that's prob what I am aiming at , How realistic steering did they make it ? I guess I could do a burn copy of it 1st before deciding to own th real thing lol

First off I should mention that monaco has 2 handling mode options: Arcade and Simulation. Arcade mode is as you'd expect where your car has pretty much infinite grip and you can brake really late into a corner. With simulation mode you need to be a lot more precise with your driving i.e. following the racing line, hitting apexs and being smooth with the steering. Just don't touch the kerbs because it results in instant death
It will take a bit of time to get used to simulation modes unforgiving nature but is really fun once you learn the ins and outs of it...

By the way I've only ever played this game with a controller so if you use a wheel on the Dreamcast then I can't tell you how it feels (sorry)...

played with a steering wheel, it's almost unplayable, to me monaco is not a simulation at all, even in sim mode, in sim mode you only get zero grip and you keep spinning around and around but anyway is lot of fun played online with friends

as for f1 world grand prix, i do have the first one and apart for the nice graphic it's a very dull game with bad controls, the second is kinda the same, except they fixed the bad controls (from what i have tried)

flag to flag is a dull game too honestly, but i love it because it's very very fun to play, and it's even playable with a steering wheel...surely the best of the game you mentioned and one game to have if you love racing...

I've heard that F1 World Prix 2 is good with a steering wheel.
I haven't tried it yet though.

I’ve never used any racing wheel with the Dreamcast. Is the official sega one worth looking into getting? Or is there a better third party alternative?

I've heard the wheel is rarely an improvement, especially for games like Daytona USA which have inherent problems with analog control.

I definitely have to play this game again.
