come along by then? Let's face it, GPL is a work of love from papy, and the
we're all going to be stuck on it like the people still playing quakeworld,
and the people who played falcon3 until su-27 was released.

Personally, I'd be quite happy racing GPL for a good many years to come,
despite the possibility of newer and better additions to the F1 genre.
GP3 looks set to cause an absolute storm amongst its fans, so it might not
be too long before many of us reduce the time we spend on GPL, but to stop
racing it altogether, not a chance.
Best regards,

I was e***d about N3 before it was released, it didn't sound bad.
But it's driving/physics/FF model really is outdated. It's time for
Papy to retire it. I know I won't be buying any more sims that aren't
based on something at least as good as GPL.

Only trouble for the people who walk this road is the fact that they will be
walking a rather lonely path in the offline world. I'll buy GP3 but it's
certainly a backward step in terms of real racing with real people.

Well, the rules of soccer, baseball etc haven't changed much recently and
people still play them :-)
Ok, not an entirely valid analogy, but where GPL's concerned it has all
the elements in place for a long life. Active online community, physics
which will be hard (but not impossible :-) to beat, and graphics which
scale well with improved PC power.
I'd really like something better to come along. I hope GP3 comes close,
but it needs the online support to compete, because although AI racing can
be a blast, there is *nothing* like a good race on VROC.

I bought N3 mainly because of the better graphics, the physics they said
they reworked feel the same as N2 to me. After racing GPL on the converted
tracks N3 just seems sluggish and slow. The feeling you get at Tally with
GPL just blows away N3, you feel like you're flying around that track which
is the way it should be. I went back to N3 and thought I my setup was messed
up or something. I hope N4 IS GPL in a nascar or a lot of people on this
newsgroup will be highly dissappointed!
