So you can take some of the blame? ; )
From what I understand, if you're PO is at 200%, it's takes twice as long to
do a lap in realtime. Is that correct? It's really a form of cheating -
you can use that high PO to give yourself more time to take corners
properly.
You should be able to change that in the game...

I mean the track textures for both could be way off...

I agree. ISI could learn a few things about color saturation. F1
2001 reminds me of NASCAR Heat before the initial patch when you could
desaturate the textures. Some things are very pretty, and some things
are very blah, but overall the colors are just wrong.
This is just one of the many areas where I seriously wish ISI would
pick up a copy of a recent Papyrus game to see how things could be
done. In addition to the control calibration/linearity setup.

Sorry but those F1 2002 track textures are laughable. I've yet to see any
real track with such pattern on it.

No.
But then again, he would need to completely restart from nothing. A
complete, new, simulation without any line of code from his (15 years old)
core engine in assembler.

Well yeah that's why I wrote that they are *bland*. The palette is plain
wrong. It is pleasant to the eye of a FPS quaker more than to the eye of
somebody who wants to see a realistic image. That's why I say that Geoff's
GP4 looks more like a real-life representation of what our eye see, compared
to the overwashed and *bland* ISI's graphic engine.

In any case, it wont be long before editors will be made
for GP4, and people will be making new tracks with different
graphics and textures, and this debate will be irrelevent
for any of us here on the net.

There's something not quite right with that GP4 screenshot. The
Williams "blue" is not dark enough. Hopefully its a matter of a small
tweak to get it just right.
The other thing...I'm sure it looks nice but I think that the
reflections from the car body work is perhaps a bit too strong. I
guess I'll have to get the game to truly find out.
And god bless SDI for his GPxPatch tool that's been so useful to
those who play GP3. I really hope that he brings out a GP4 version.
And a big thanks to Ralph Hummerich, Matti Laitinen, Marc Aarts, and
scores of other people who make editors, tracks, menus, carsets, etc
for GP3. Fingers crossed for support for GP4.

Erm...the surface at Melbourne is all 'hotmix' bitumen which *is* almost
black until it gets a shiny build-up of *** on it - then the light starts
reflecting off it and it looks lighter. I would say that GP4 is way too
light and F12002 is slightly too dark.
Yeah, I thought F12001 looked too vivid when I first saw it but after seeing
F12002 on a fast machine with all of the lighting effects it definitely
looks quite natural. I think that Ralph Hummerich's 2002 carsets might
overdo the lighting just a tad - anyone else think that?
With all due respect, that was a pathetic analagy...
I'm stunned that Geoff didn't create a properly proportioned 3D world
*again*! I nearly fell over once I started reading that GP4 has the same
old snail pace cars...I was under the impression that they had created an
all-new engine for the game....??
