In what way? Yes, I have both installed on my computer right now and
IMO F1 2000 is quite a bit better than MGPRS2. AI problems and all.
Once you get throught the first lap in F1 2000 things are not too bad
in the AI area. Most people who complain about it are people without
the machine it needs to run well. Looking forward to F1 2001 and wil
be passing on GP3 myself.

Telemetry (though only usefull with external viewer) and various other
subtle differences you may not even notice, depending on your driving
style/talent. Let's just say F1 2K goes a little easy on the hamfisted for
my taste.

Graphically I got to admit F1 2K has it hands down and with the latest patch
the AI is not all that bad, it's a very fine line.

My experience is the opposite. In MGPRS2 I can smash and mash the gas
and brakes, but not so in F12K. Have you played around with the
undocumented controller settings etc. in F12K. F12K has a much better
feel to me. No I have not driven an F1 car before, but I do drive a
car and the feeling of the physics of driving is much closer in F12K.
Hands down winner in this area, and I bet GP3 doesn't match it in this
area either.

Undocumented controller options in F1 2k... now there's something I hadn't
heard about before. -Please elaborate.

Like to know how you're able to mash the throttle in MGPRS2 too, I'm still
driving that one competively. ;-))

I can hear the trees crying (amongst other natural resources)
which died for the production of this thingy. Software isn't
everything you know....

I have just run to my software shelf and I have found it to be full of
paper, plastic, ink, and a few odd bits of aluminum.

Hey, where did all my software go?!

Yup... Just like GP2 was. Is that a Freudian slip???

Apparently you are correct. It will have whatever GP2 had.

Or the 1.06 patch. Supposedly they removed the crash FF effects
in the 1.09 patch. This makes the patch un suitable for me :-)

Did you not get the 1.09 patch? If you did then click on the alien
icon on the far right. Now click the top arrow to the right.

Compared to F12K it's a piece of cake. It's a good sim, but the
physics are ***compared to F12K.

No slip, it is like GP2, nothing wrong with that.
GP2 was a good game. GP3 has everything that
GP2 had, plus some improvements. I was hoping
some  for some _more_ improvements though.
