rec.autos.simulators

also, it has some bad control issues that need to be resolved. if you are
facing in a direction different to the one the game thinks you should be in,
it won't let you turn the wheel anywhere else but back onto the track.

for example. *** square monaco. monsoon, with slick tyres on (i know they
have grooves but you know what i mean - it's the only way to drive :-) i
lose it and decide that any attempt to stay on the road will result in a
collision with the barrier, so i steer away from the road to go down the
escape road - the big built in spaces seen at mirabeau. but oh no, the game
won't let me go down there, it drives me into the wall instead. turning is
impossible. steering in the pit lane is impossible. steering around a corner
on the outside of an AI is impossible. turn-in oversteer is impossible and
so is roll oversteer (even if you tweak the setups to deliberately get
some - it doesn't happen). i like to drive oversteering cars. why won't it
let me!!

somebody make it better, please!

You haven't got "Steering Help" turned on have you? Check *both* the
***pit and the controller setup where steering help is adjusted.
Also check "Auto Right".

There is limited steering available in the pit lane.

I've driven around the outside of an AI car in a corner.

I've had turn-in oversteer like crazy and like to tune it down a lot.

Not sure what you mean by roll oversteer.

I get oversteer like crazy, especially on some of the setups that
I've downloaded from the Internet. I have to do a certain amount of
work on these to remove most of the oversteer as it doesn't suit my
driving style.

Without knowing more, I'd say that you've got one or more computer
driving aids turned on.

Also, I suggest that you download various patches and updates
(official and unofficial ones) that enhance the driving experience.
GPxPatch, GPEdit and GP3Video are the ones worth getting (GPxPatch is
amazing! It does *lots* of things and has support for additional
sounds....you can now hear other cars and also get radio messages
from the pits as well as hearing Murray Walker screaming!). Also try
the track updates and also new tracks. And there's also no car
shapes, liveries, carsets, etc. Check out here for most of these...

"In the light universe I have been darkness..."

switch the driving aids off!!! fixes everything.

if you can't get turn-in oversteer, then you don't know how. even on the
default setups which are setup for understeer, i can get any amount of
oversteer i want turning in... just a matter of how late you want to hold
onto the brakes, and how much steering lock.

What even the shitty graphics crappy physics engine and non existent
internet play? ;0)

Try turning off steering help.

there's nothing wrong with the physics engine.. of the modern F1 sims it's
the best IMO.

GP3 physics are fine, you have some sort of controller problem or something.
Make sure you have all the "aids" turned off.

Yes they are very good, you will learn how to gain advantage of these high
levels of detail if you read on...

You obviously ahve steering help on which makes the cars pretty much drive
without any steering input, or very little anyway meaning yuo haven't much
control making the otherwise good physics usless. Turn it off and you'll
ahve no problems.

Read above, all caused by steering help in the controller menu.
