Well, it's certainly true that user patches have improved many aspects
of sims like GP2 and F12000, and now also GP3.

But you have to stay a bit reasonable as well... GP2 and GP3 AI is
very good in its own. The only real problem is that they are too easy.
(no experience with GP3 AI yet) But 90% of the users will find them
more than challenging enough, so it's just that people around HERE are
too good. A product like GP3EDIT will allow you to tune the
performance until it perfectly fits your personal skill. Yes, a
company could integrate such a tool into the sim. But they don't  :-)

Then textures and such. One of the aspects that make it easier to make
cars and scenery better looking and more realistic is that companies
are bound by anti-tobacco laws etc. Some of the cars in GP3 look
pretty lame just because of this. Also you have to keep in mind that
you are able to apply the 3rd party patches of YOUR choice. There are
probably many around which you find just a bad as the originals. It's
just that you have a *choice* now   :-)  Others will still like the
originals more, or choose other patches.

That said: I patch them, too   :-)

Some people complainint about the validity of the physics engine in GP3 -
the particular neuences of taking the Masta Kink at 180mph and so on.

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

The real professionals are the countless hackers reverse-engineering
the data formats, adapting the existiting utilities in their free time
and out of a true passion for simracing in order to fix some of the
flaws that Mr. Crammond obviously didn't. GP3, as released, is nothing
short of a desaster to Crammonds reputation.

Even the new features seem worthless, e.g. now you can lock
individual wheels - unfortunately it doesn't feel any different from
locking them all!! Ha!
etc. etc.

No one said we weren't allowed to have a little... quiet now so the GPL
folks don't hear it... FUN.
