I telephoned Micrprose on Friday and was told that the release date
was the 26 June. They told me the demand for the came has been great,
I asked if they had produced enough to meet first demands of the game.
I was told that they had completed a first run of 4 times greater than
thier best ever selling game STAR TREK.
I mentioned that I had seen an avi file of a lap of Silverstone and I
commented on how fantastic the graphic looked even in VGA. He said
that in SVGA it would be even better if I had a big enough machine to
run them. I then said rather smugly I have a p150 with 40 meg ram &
2meg pci 64 graphics card. His repley supprised me a little he said
that I will proberbly get a frame rate of around 12/sec, however if I
removed the road and cloud texture this would increase to 18/sec.
He also said that in VGA with all graphics on I would get around
22/sec.
I have seen it in VGA and it is fantastic so I am not to dissapointed
by this but, what have they been testing it on.
