We'll talk again in two years time: ICR2 and NASCAR will be in the garbage bin,
but I'll still play GP2 (with full detail!!!)
Just forget about the textures you can't use.

Just to point that out.

I think that all three sims, ICR2, N2, and Gp2 are great. Microprose left
a lot of things out of Gp2, but it is still a lot of fun.

No *** or secrets...it pretty much did this out of the box! I suppose
I could be confusing this with another game, but I don't think so.

You dont have a clue, it dont rhyme, but it sure is true!

Might be a MicroProse trademark. I bought their karting game. You could
only run it off the CD which took an eternity to load. The frame rate
sucked because the made every little texture or graphic a PCX file which
had to be drawn. There wasn't much realism there, either.
Until you get a 17" monitor :-)
You must have been dreaming. You can't hear other cars from***pit view in GP2.
Check your ears! :-)

By the way Mr.Doctor,Technician or w*** t** f*** a simulation is not an
arcade game so if your Pro don`t allow you 25, play VGA till a beter
choice that woud have been a MMX or an overclocked but I think it would
be a bit complicated ;)!!!

I hope whit this move we (I mean everyone I hope in this group)are
going to be able to comment without prejudice like you had.Please
remember your move in 2 years I think by the time you`d have learn that
a configuration for a game is not the same for every game!!!

Other engines noises? Listening? Am I missing something here?
Last time I checked there was no sound coming from other cars in
GP2... You're gonna have some explaining to do here mister! Cause
when I play GP2, bumping into other cars is the only way you're gonna
get sound from them!
