problem

The news there isn't quite right. Well, there is a bug, but it states that
it is currently only working with the Guillemot FF wheel. It doesn't. Plus,
I'm sure we all know by now that the drivers for the Guillemot FF wheel are
the same as the ones for the Force RS and several others that use standard
i-Force drivers. Well, at least a patch is on it's way.

News on the 3 axis bug
Gary DeRoy just told me, that he tested many different 3-axis wheels
with Grand Prix 3 (Logitech, Act Labs and Guillemot FF wheels), and
none of them worked in 3 axis mode without any problems. All of them
worked fine in 2 axis mode
We all should hope for a patch in the near future.

Are you really intending to waste time on a bad-looking, outdated
"game" with so many bugs?

You're talking to me? If so, you must have missed a couple of my
posts. To keep it short: All in all I like GP3 and I will definately
buy it. I can't get it working with my V2 cards, but this afternoon I
thought a little bit about it and concluded that it was time for a new
card. Those V5 and Geoforce 2 cards are still way to expensive for me,
but with all these new cards the V3 has dropped quite a lot in price.
So tomorrow I'll buy a V3 card.
I find GP3 deeply disappointing, I expected a lot more. Don't say me
that it's my own fault that my expectations were way too high. Some of
the bugs and shortcommings in the game are really ridiculous.
(Here we go: Slowmo, imho not so fantastic graphics, especially the
cars look really strange, no split axis, imho a lacking driving model,
and some small problems (black flag everytime when I cut the corners
at Monza, even though I don't gain position).
But even with these faults I still enjoy GP3 very much. Still can't
decide which one is better, GP3 or F1 2000, they both have their
charms and shortcommings.

Still I don't understand your reaction, I just copied the comments
from that site to save people having to start their browser.
In fact I found it quite good news that a patch is being worked on.

So... chill out brother :)
