Great of you to make it available on line! :)

Btw the cars, track, etc looked incredible from the outside.

BUT the***pit looks like a Japanese stereo rack and there's
an animated steering wheel there. Ouch! Animated steering wheel,
is it an arcade game? Must be that they haven't cared about
getting rid of it from F1GP. I really hope it is gone in the
release version. Two steering wheels...

Another note, why the hell is the graphic detail displayed in the
***pit just like in F1GP?? No need to have a ***y display
telling you that the track texture is on, you can see that yourself
by looking at the track which you do constantly when driving...
It should be a F1***pit, not some Need4Speed***pit!

Although, I'll bet the***pit will be redesigned completely, can't
have a ***design like that in what is looking to be a ***y great
game. Really hope, too, that Geoff Crammond and his men make GP 2
more realistic than its predecessor just like Papyrus has done
with ICR II. If they do it's going to rule like hell!!

Let's hope it is being released in the spring. I won't be surprised
if it didn't come out until Xmas 1996...

Thanks for taking the trouble to put this on the web Max. Whoever said
this demo was 'jaw-dropping' sure wasn't over-stating matters - it
really is **very** impressive.  Looking at the start of the race as the
cars pull away from the grid really is like watching a film. The scenery
is just stunning throughout the whole clip. The only negative thought I
have about it is just what hardware they were running this demo on. In
fact, I can't help wondering if really was produced in realtime or frame
by frame. Still, as long as it can run at this speed on some kind of
hardware set up - albeit a P133 with 3d acceleration - I don't mind.

Can't wait until they release it as it's looking like being a truly
wonderful Crammond-creation!

Simon.

I haven't had a chance to look at this movie, so I am asking this question
based on no knowledge.  Is the movie a replay of game action?  Remember that
the original F1GP came with a VERY slick (for its time) animated sequence
to open the game, but then the actual game wasn't as graphically sophisticated.
Comments?  Clarification?`

I downloaded it from http://cslib.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~mjg93/f1.html
From Holland it took me less than 5 minutes to download.

     <<5 minutes for a 4+ mb file!??>>

     Actually, Earl, I think I understand what he means. The server timed
me out after 5 minutes when I tried to download it : (
     I tried it a few times from work (IP) and once at home (modem) both
times using Netscape. I was timed out each time. I only got 10-13% of the
file, which would have taken a little over 35 minutes to download by IP.

I would love to upload it somewhere! So if someone could give me a
FTP-site or web-site where I can put it: do so!

I doubt if I have write-access to ftp.wustl.edu. But I just tried but
can't get in there (connection keeps timing out). So again: if someone

Hello Wilfred,

I am trying to get the movie as well and can't get it. Maybe you can upload it
at a site like "ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/incoming". Or maybe you could mail it to me?

When you uploaded it to the ftp site please give us a call.

Alvast bedankt;

G'day,

Here in Australia we are pretty poor souls. We have to wait months after
games/magazine releases before laying our hands on the products. (some of 'em
anyway).

Not only wont we get the January edition of PCZone till about feb, but I can't
seem to download the much spoken of F1GP2.MOV file from the web site in the UK.

It keeps dropping out after about 700K (***y frustrating).

Could someone please upload it to ftp.wustl.edu or something like that,
pleeeeease.

Thanx in advance

Barry

I also have had trouble with this web site. I thought that it was going to be
put in a FTP site somewhere. As a last resort, somebody could put it in a
binaries group. But it's quite a large file.....

When I  first putit up nobody seemed  to have any difficulty with it. I
suggest that it's the load that all you hungry people are putting on our
already quite busy server that's  slowing us down.
