Or
C) GP3 completely sucks.

Read the High Gear interview and see what the West Bros. think of GP3, as
well as John Crooke.

   This sim is the best spinout sim ive ever ran, every damn corner the car
wants to spin out, Give it a little gas and around she goes, This sim doesnt
have the simultation
of a f1 car, It simulates going around in circles, I tried all kinds of
setups the game and it just sucks to run, I went back to F12000 and wow what
a great handling sim, i think gp3 needs alot of patches, (like a damn
unfinished quilt) , for now f12000 is the shit, I cant wait another for
another 4 years to go by , I think the guy was short on cash and started the
gp3 project last month, it doesnt take 4 years to code ***like
there trying to sell us,and thats what it is, CRAP!.
  I think they need to sit down and re"evaulate the game game as a whole,
And quit worring about weather its gunna rain or not, Becuse when it rains
it pours,
 and old crammond is trying to get rich on a two month project

Don't suppose you adjusted your controller settings. Hmmm, checking out all
those hotlaps where people are giving it gas in the corners and no spins.
Still, if you're happy with F12K, good for you.... explains a lot though

 Hmm...either you:
A) Totally suck at driving
or
B) have your throttle and brake set to be like a button instead of being an
analog control, and therefore you are giving the car either 0% or 100% throttle
at all times and you are spinning the tires.
 I'm going to guess the problem is B, but A could coincide with this.  :-) j/k
(BASING THIS ENTIRELY OFF GP2 AS MY COPY OF GP3 HAS NOT YET ARRIVED)  Check
your control settings to see if it has throttle control set at Analog or (what
I believe it is referred to as...) Switched.  You want Analog control.

   You should really try GPL...  :)

I think it's safe to say that everyone else isn't spinning at every corner.
Have you got a steering wheel?  If not then it might help to get one.  If
you are already using an anolgue brake/throttle then try to be smoother
applying the throttle.
Or else try turning on traction control.

The guy isn't so far off the mark with his comments. Maybe you should
go read the below interview and be enlightened. Pay attention to the
comments by John Crooke at the bottom of the below url.

its amazing how things this guy claims he can't do with his superlative
Hyperstim controller, CAN be done with a LWFF. Its also amazing how you
could go to his stand, ask him what he thinks of GP3 runing on his
hyperstim and see a totally different response!

Yep, they weren't sure what the sim was going to do at any point. They must
have used John Crookes Hyperstim because you sure as hell know whats
happening with a LWFF! and you can wheelspin on the grid without spinning
off, and you can wheel spin in turns without spining off..... But your
convinced, so thats all that counts

You think F1 2K is a great handling sim?  What kind of system do you have?  And
out of curiousity, how did you manage driving in GPL?

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...
