I didn't realise there were "generations" ?
Where did you dream that up from?
Oh, I'm sorry - you use acronyms instead of words; explains a lot.

Sorry, i'll get my crayons out for you next time.
I would have thought a third generation PC was a 386..

The weather is 2nd to none, looks great and the way it changes is
great. The physics feel great to, they have addressed my biggest
complaint about gp2, which was how nervous the cars were over the
kerbs, now you can really attack them. What really e***d me was the
way the cars defend the corners, and also will attack you given a
chance. They have got it just about right. We cannot expect
perfection on this, but this is pretty good. I remember being
dissapointed at F1-2000, which could have been great if not for the
over aggressive ai, which always resulted in accidents.
However, yep there are bugs, and I suffer from the biggest which is
force feedback on msff, which just pulls the wheel to the left whenever
making a slight deviation to the left. To be honest, to leave that
problem in, is inexcusable. Anyway I imagine this will be patched, by
either microprose, or a third party.
Its a great game!

Before you buy.
You always stick your foot in it when you put the word all in a sentence.
I have a P3-866 with a GeForce 2, and *my* opinion is that it's the best
graphical F1 sim available.
Cheers,
Rod.

PIII 450 with an ATI All in Wonder Pro 128 AGP w/32 megs video ram and
a Voodoo3 3000 pci with 16 megs ram and 128 meg system ram.
PIII 667eb 133mhz with a Matrox G400 Dual Head w/32 megs video ram and
128 megs system ram.
PIII 933eb 133mhz with a GeoForce 2 7700 Deluxe w/32 megs video ram
and 256 megs system ram.
As you can see all three of my systems are graphics powerhouses and i
buy and download tons of games, so i have seen alot of stuff in order
to make my judgement that GP3's graphics suck. Also, i have the latest
drivers for all cards and run the game on max details at 1280x1024 on
all 3 machines. If you think GP3's graphics come even close to games
like GPL, SCGT, MGPR, hell even F1RS etc.. you are just plain blind!.
Tell me, the connection between that guy liking GP3's graphics
and you having some ***-off PCs newtorked together is?

Only 10 years? Junior ;P
Hence the asterisks around the word MY. As in *MY OPINION*. Just because
you think they're ***doesn't mean that a) I haven't played many sims,
or b) I don't have the right to feel that they look good to *me*. I'm not
condeming you for you saying they 'suck'. I have no doubt you feel that
they 'suck'.
Who said that? <gropes for keyboard>.
The beauty of the human race is that we all have differing tastes. After
playing F1-2000 for a few months, I went back to GPL, to *me* it looked
very average in comparison. SCGT never really got me that e***d
graphically, MGPR2 and F1RS were ok but sound problems, locking up and
touchy throttle stopped me from playing those rather quickly, but their
graphics never really grabbed me.
I was merely making a comment about an owner of a high spec machine
enjoying GP3's graphics, in which you said that only owners of 2nd or 3rd
generation (I think you're confused about the meaning of 2nd and 3rd
generation machines, personally...) would enjoy the graphics.
Cheers,
Rod.
Did you even read his post? It seems not, you just wanted
to complain or something.

Maybe you just dunno how to setup all those systems then....
Gotta PIII-500 with a Voodoo3 card myself and the graphics look gorgeous and
silky smooth....
and don't come over here with you're tons of experience, I got GP2,
IndyCar/II, Nascar Racing /II/III, GPL, F1RS, MGPR, F1-2000, and GP3 beats all
of those in detail, use of color and most of all in FPS!!!
Look at my compairance of F1-2000 and GP3 graphics on
alt.binaries.simulators.autos.
That's the way GP3 looks, and if you think that's crap, maybe you should get a
new pair of glasses!!

Roger
