I havent gotten Gp2 yet, but I was wondering if when you get launched
into the air can you land upside down and be out of the race?
Thanx

I manages to TOTALLY wreck my car on one occasion -- just the monocoque was
left (looked very funny!). But I could still steer AND rev the engine!!
(fly-by-radio throttle perhaps.....8) )

I'm certain I saw it, yet I haven't managed it yet with the full
version,

....We are dreamers, shapers, singers and makers.
We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner.
Holographic demons and invocations of equations.
These are the tools we employ....

My.first.serious.airborne.moment.was.the.highest.I've.managed,
despite.trying.to.duplicate.it.on.purpose.for.hours.on.end.
But,.geez,.GP2.really.really.needs.to.have.a.way.to.turn.off
the.horizon.and.car.textures...It's.really.really.slow...The
most.disappointing.thing.is.how.it.goes.into.slow.motion.all
the.time.
I.have.to.set.my.computer.(DX4-120).to.VGA.mode.at.about.10
frames.per.second.just.to.keep.it.from.going.into.slow.motion
all.the.way.around.a.race.track.on.my.own...When.other.cars
come.around.slow.motion.starts...The.damnannoying.thing.is.that
it.won't.draw.anything.faster.than.you.select.even.when.it.can,
so.I.never.get.more.than.10.frames.per.second...I.could.set.it
to.25fps.and.have.it.nice.and.smooth.for.some.parts.of.the.tracks,
but.at.any.chicane.it'd.start.going.into.slow.motion.again.
I.suppose.if.I.turned.on.all.detail.and.went.into.SVGA.and.set.it
to.25fps,.I.could.race.extremely.well.since.it.would.take.about
five.minutes.of.real.time.for.every.second.of.race.time.--.plenty
of.reaction.time!
Gee,.I've.heard.how.things.seem.to.happen.more.slowly.when.you
drive.a.Formula.One.car,.but.this.is.just.ridiculous!
To.be.fair,.it.does.make.it.more.drivable.
I'd.just.rather.have.things.happen.in.real.time.than.in.slow.motion.
The.right-hand.sweepers.at.Monza.are.wicked.if.you.lower.the.frame
rate.counter.enough.that.the.game.actually.runs.in.real.time.when
you're.on.your.own.through.that.section.
The.day.before.GP2.came.out,.I.snooped.around.Sierra's.FTP.site
and.found."The.Patch".for.ICR2.(though.there.was.no.mention.of
it.in.the.index.files.nor.any.description.of.any.sort)...Must.go
racing.with.it.some.more.now.too...Since.I.can't.pause.GP2.anymore
(no.spacebar,.if.you.hadn't.noticed),.maybe.I'll.race.ICR2.instead
for.the.time.being.
Yes,.my.space.bar.is.not.working.at.the.moment...Please.pardon.my.dots,
but.this.is.much.quicker.than.typing.ALT+32.between.every.word.

By the way I'm running GP2 on my 486 66, I'm running at 17fps no problem (smooth as anything) so
you must be doing wrong. (your not playing from windows are you?)

(The "estimate" it gives is 25fps, but I drop it to 10fps to be
playable without going into slow motion (except when overtaking,
which can't be helped, it seems).)
And, honestly, my spacebar was broken! Funniest thing was it took
a while to >stop< using dots for spaces when I picked up this old
junker to replace the three-month old broken one. It.got.remarkably
easy.to.type.like.this,.and.it.drove.URL.catchers.mad.if.I.said
something.starting.with."awww".etc.!
