I don't give an arse about the other 90%.  All I care is me and my ***
views of virtual reality motorsports.  I knew it was going to be Gp2.5, and
I'm perfectly understandable of this situation.  The only problem is that
those 90% will all think it's a major overhaul, while in fact it's a very
minor update of the old game engine.

That doesn't mean Crammond isn't lazy.  He is.  Just look at the ammount of
things he could had easily got into GP3 if he was a little less lazy (you
know.. create a team, rebuilt the game engine, etc...).

I don't think anyone is saying GP3 isn't a sim. It is. What most
seemed incensed with is the GP2 port that because GP3.
Surely you must realize that this is the main gripe. Does this
somehow not register?

I'm sorry I'm clearly misunderstanding something here.  It is a game
that simulates Grand Prix Racing it does not seem to be living up to
some peoples expectations (although it certainly does mine) this would
seem to be the place to discuss it.  I clearly did not realise that
you decide what's discussed and what's not discussed.  Would you
please send me a list of what I can talk about and what I can't so I
can tell you where to stick it mate.

Regards Mike

that  ** I ** could disagree with!   Thanks again!   Glen Priest

Now there's your chance, Francois;  I know NOTHING about all these
mysterious efforts that end up with me playing a wonderful racing sim
on my computer, but YOU evidently know all about it and how easy it
would beto fix GP3. Eh bien, why don't you take over for Geoff and work
out solutions for the problems which he was too lazy or inattentive to
address?   C'mon, put that "super-genius" tag-line to work!

Actually I doubt too many people would complain if that
were to happen. After all anyone could have held onto the
code for 4 years and re-release it too with a new title.
Big whoop.
