Share what you know. Learn what you don't.
No multiplayer..
Need a 800MHz CPU and Voodoo4 to run it..cause it is made for the
future..HAHA and it will still run like crap. Remember what they said? Does
GP2 look like the future?
And there will be ZERO patches..addons..or fixes for it.
Just like GP2

Actually, GP2 does look like the future, as viewed from 1996.
Transluscent smoke, spectral highlighting etc. With the first 3D cards
hitting the market in 1997, Crammond had to do it in software. GP2 still
has the best looking poly models for a modern Formula One, and it
accomplishes this with a low poly count (ok, the bitmap wheels are a bit
odd).
:>And there will be ZERO patches..addons..or fixes for it.

What do you want patched? The game runs well out of the box. It has the
features it promised, and they work. The internet community has provided
additional features that Microprose didn't, but this isn't bug fixing -
it's enhancement.

You think that it a good sign when companies make you spnd hours on the net
trying to download some huge page which just screws up a game with a huge
number of bugs to begin with?
Where are you from?
Any don't bother replying say GPL is! I'm not in the mood to start that
again!
Well, because GP3 will feature hardware graphics acceleration, the sim _should_
run faster and smoother than GP2 did. And if GP3 features TCP/IP support, you
know that's just another big reason for me to buy it. ;)

Well I first drove GP2 on a 486 dx4 100Mhz pc, with 16Mb ram and 1Mb
graphics card. Yes it did run, and in vga mode it ran quite fast too!
Like I said. Have you actually ever driven GP2? prior to GPL it was
*THE* racing simulator, and IMHO still beats all other driving programs
except GPL (F1RS comes a close second only cos it has better graphics).
Run GP2 on a fast modern pc (I run it on a BX m/b with a Celeron 300
clocked at 450 with 128Mb ram and an 8Mb Matrox G100) and it absolutely
flies along nicely, in fact it seems to get better with age?
Remember that it was Microproses decision to not release any patches,
fixes, etc. But then again, what needed fixing? Sure it could have had
weather, etc added, but it was rushed out by the makers and the
developer (GC) was not really given the opportunity to optimise the
program to its full potential. Third party developers and programmers
have however, released loads of stuff for GP2, just browse the web and
you can find new graghics, names, tracks, editors, etc, all you could
ever need. Have you bothered looking?
Hmmm, do we want to go through this particular thread *again*?
Imformed opinion, let me know when you find one....

BTW if anyone with any influence is reading this, can we have an online
*** system like GPL for GP3. ie. join any time during practice and have
chat that we can use while inside the game.
