I just done a full race on ace mode.

ALEX WURZ qualifyed on pole and won the race,beating the mclarens and
ferraris  LOL ***ing pathetic.didnt crammond watch the 98 season?

Wurz was a backmarker

Irvine is faster that schumacher in gp3 as well
what a joke this game is
The graphics are pathetic and the game runs ***on my p3 676mhz with a g
force
Its not optimized for a 3 card at all you can tell that by the graphics.
Crammond made it for software then just added on the 3d card support as an
after thought...
He obviosly doesnt know how to use a 3d card
He optimised the game for software users all 1% of them
He still thought it was 96

Never in my version, are you sure you don't have it set to all cars
equal
err not in mine

Look OK to me, could have been better but OK, and on my 366 oc'd to
567 with TNT2 Ultra Running at 31.* FPS (Using the FPS hack) it***s
along in 1024 x 768 apart from the first corner.

Does not seem optimised for your machine, have you checked drivers etc
??

errrrr..... He seems to know how to use mine.

Run it in software then ?

His kids must be missing birthday cards then

Perhaps you should do a little survey.  Ask 1000 F1 fans what (if anything)
they have at home in the way of computer hardware.  I'll bet you will find a
lot of old PIIs with marginal onboard video.  I think he knows his market
(F1 fans 1st, gamers second).

Huh?  This would be ass-backwards.  Hmmm...let's sell games
to....NON-gamers!!  They don't care about smooth fps so I can put out
a marginal effort.

lol.

If it wasn't clear, I meant that these were the order of priorities in the
person buying the product, not two separate groups which he sells to.  They
are an F1 fan more than they are a game (or more specifically simulation)
fan.  They want to "experience" what a racing weekend is like.

What setting did you have for the spread of the AI (opposition spread)?

If you had it set to random, then it does exactly what it says on the
tin, its random, anyone can win! Also if you have the AI setting to "all
the same" anyone can win, cos the AI are all the same! You will only get
1998 like performances if you select 1998 levels.


25fps with PO under 100% almost always. What system do you have? how is
it set-up? (eg: is it optimised for games?)

Yeah right, and you do, like I said, runs great on my 3dfx card,
and plenty of others are getting good performance too.

Blah, blah, blah.....

i dont think its possible to expireince what a race weekend is like when the
game runs like crap... it seems a little bit strange to me that gp3's hardware
requirements are twice that of gpl, yet the game is nowhere near gpl's quality.
 the non-*** f1 fans your talking about probably dont have 800mhz PCs.

also does anyone else think its ass backwards for the game to run WORSE with 3d
acceleration.  that just says BAD coding to me...

I did notice there are some controller sets you can load, that are specific
to wheels.

mangled uncounted electrons thus:

<snip>

Y'know, like the game or not, the man does have a point...

Yes, I basically like GP3. Particularly now I've got my wheel set
up to suit my driving style, which took a lot of fiddling. (Not
the game's fault - it was perhaps not too smart to install a
brand-neww FF wheel - the first I've owned - and a brand new game
at the same time.)

Martin D. Pay
Now if he could just figure out how to map keyboard commands to
the wheel buttons...  Logitech's Profiler doesn't seem to work
for this...  :(

Ah hah! I have this trouble too - glad to know I'm not the
only one. (Thought I was just plain dumb)

Anyone know the answer?
