GP3 & GPL

by Wolf » Tue, 27 Jun 2000 04:00:00

Just wondering....after the fuss about GP3 dies down will we all be driving
GP3 for 2 years straining to get .1sec quicker? I suspect not....my best
guess is that GPL is of a standard that we are unlikely to see again for a
long time. Personally I'd love to drive current F1 cars with the same sort
of physics accuracy as GPL....perhaps if someone could introduce Dave
Kaemmer to Geoff Crammond we could really make some progress!....any
thoughts?

GP3 will be a different kind of challenge, not the ultimate physics as we
see them in GPL but it will be giving of what it takes to drive a modern F1
race. And the wet weather is just great.

And don't forget that Kaemmer has a CART/F1 sim up his sleeve. Now that sim
is really going to take over my life.

WSC will take it to the next level. We will be spending more time in the
shop and more time on the track with the ability to always get a little bit
better.

Trust me on this one, it's going to be big.

Maybe we could get wet weather into GPL...

  a private effort is underway for that...we've had wet rain tracks with
N2/99 for a couple of years with the Touring car patch(tptcc)  shouldn't be
too hard to at least hack the track settings....Now SPRAY and puddles
etc...thats another story.

Lets give GP3 a try before we judje it.  GP3 WILL NOT feel the same as GPL.
The cars are from defferent eras.

People are still going to judge them on an even level. Personally the first
thing I am going to do to GP3 is jump in the car and rev the motor. If the
chasis doesn't move then I'm taking the game back because obviously they
didn't factor in all the physics. I might just give it a chance too! heheh.

Bear in mind that the '67 Grand Prix cars had spring rates on the order of
100 lbs/in while a modern car has spring rates on the order of 1000 lbs/in.

I would take it back if it moves!

A wet race feature in GPL? No thanks! I struggle to keep it on
the black stuff as it is.

I bet GP3 will be good. I drove it at E3 and if you like modern day F1
you should probably get it. It isn't even close to GPL for me but half
the fun of GPL (for me) is those old cars. The new ones just aren't as
exciting for me.

You can't even see the suspension move when they're cornering at 3 G ;)

Actually no..... your right, thats because Geoff cares enough to give us
more. We'll be moved on to GP5 or 6 maybe in 2 years while this NG still
dwells back in 1998.

heheh.

Firstly, waht are you talking about? Of course the chassis will move if you
rev it. It will not if it's in neutral. I think if this isn't modeled in a
car sim then it inda defeats the whole perpose ofmaking one dopn't you
think?

Secondly what is the deal with taking sims back? If you buy it with the
intention of looking only to see every little fault in the game then why buy
itin the first place?
And to add to tha there are such things as consumer laws. If a game is
bought its bought, the shop owes you nothing if you don't like it.
