This sounds pretty unlikely to me. Demos of this game which have been
shown at various computer shows have been VGA only for the driving
bits. Given that Crammond already has the game running in VGA I
can't see him releasing the final product with SVGA in-game
graphics only. If his SVGA engine is so marvellous, he must know
something Papyrus don't.
The magazine may have got confused, because the game will require
SVGA graphics, because all of the menus are SVGA only.

Ouch, my DX2 hurts;-( Oh well, at least now I know what two games of
ICR2, F1GP2 and Harpoon II DLX I will buy... I haven't seen a simulation
that works fine in DX2 and SVGA fast enough, and racing sims (IMHO)
need the fastest frame rate.

Anyone who remembers the release schedule for the original F1GP on the
Amiga will already have a strange feeling of deja vu ...

Oh well, I hope they are improving the game. Afterall they are not Gametek which dumped Elite
III out way too soon.

Good News. F1GP2 is available in the shops (at least here in Denmark)
today. I just saw it in the windows this morning. Unfortunately it was
closed, so I know where I'm going after class.

exactlly!! Cramond releases have been great (every single). It's worth to be
patient.
He only release a Game when HE thinks that its ready- not i Microprose thinks
so.

I'd like to believe that, I really would, but they must be empty boxes.
Software companies do that all the time, it's just promotional material.
