Why so many here complaining GP3 graphics, try 1280*1024 resolution with
full details and if you own Voodoo 5 put FSAA 2x on. It looks
photorealistic.

Could you post a couple of screenshots of GP3 on a V5 in 2x FSAA to
alt.binaries.simulators.autos , preferably some rain shots from the TV
camera view.
Just press the Print Screen button an it'll copy the screen to the
clipboard.
Thanks

As an experienced simmer from the days of Indy 500, I find GP3 graphics
excellent (not comparing to Indy 500 please note!). Maybe not the jaw
dropping new era stuff some may have expected but on a par with the best.

It seems strange to me the negative posts about the graphics in GP3, which
lead me to two possible conclusions.

1. Graphics cards: The Voodoo5 with FSAA maybe THE card for GP3. Looks
great, runs quick. Not tried it without FSAA so perhaps I should give this a
go. The rain & spray are particularly good. There is a slight "wobble" in
the graphics on the start line which give a bad impression but this
disappears on the move. Now maybe other cards (esp Geforce) are not giving
the quality of graphics & performance with GP3. I have not seen the
pixellation referred to on this newsgroup.

2. Rendering: GP3 does not use the super smooth style of blending and
impression of blurring that other products like F12000 and SBK2000 use. It
has a more "raw" style. Which I prefer - some don't. It reminds me of RC2000
in many ways, though the car images are better in RC2000. It is very
subjective. No doubt someone will explain the technicalities of my
comments - but simply put - it looks good to me.

Incidentally I find the maximum feld of view (145) looks much better, and
the "driving position" becomes more akin to GPL. Somehow this does wonders
for the look.

All IMHO of course
