It will work in Win98. I don't know if techs will support it fully in
Win98 but it does work in 98.

You guys should really wait and play the release copy before getting all worked up
about this. I'm living proof that the driver feedback is well than enough to keep
you on the track because I absolutely suck at road courses. In our 44 driver
online Nascar league, I'm probably 30th to 35th fastest at Watkins and Sears
Point.
I think the sound is great but I have not seen the demo either.

Marc! Shut up now, you're beginning to _really_ confuse me :-)

Then either I read a review wrong, or just imagined it, because a worker from
papy said there was no support for Win98 in the *GAME*

I've given GPL the benefit of the doubt since it's essentially a beta,
but I don't have high hopes for it (sound-wise) based on past efforts.
Luckily we can edit the sounds; I've lowered the tire squeal (making it
more of a moan than a squeal), as well as the engine sound.
Papyrus have told us that the sounds in the demo are "place holders".
Maybe Eric or some other Papyrite can comment on whether we can truly
look forward to an audio experience with GPL. I imagine the beta
testers are bound by their NDA's to withhold comment.

LOL! Oh, I don't know about that...seems like a pack of drunken
bees to me. ;)
All too true. =(
Keep that sound handy...GPL has superb graphics and devine physics,
but has sound that would cause anyone to have fits. Doesn't seem
like such a big deal, as I've tried my hand at sound...Got lucky a
couple of times (no cracks, eh!), but when it comes right_down_to
actually filtering noise, distorting a wave form, or boosting a signal
I find I'm way outta' my league.
Sound can be a very important part of any game/sim, and if done well
enough can help you overlook certain odities elsewhere. I, however,
am willing to allow Papyrus to have good (but not great) sound in
exchange for awesome gameplay, visuals and the like. I can easily
"fix" the sound to my liking, but if the physics are poor, or the
rest of the code isn't up_to_snuff, then what could I do?
While I feel the sounds by themselves are no better than previous
work, one thing that stands out from anything else I've played (by
anyone) is that each car has it's OWN sound! Sitting in the pits,
you could close your eyes and literally name the make of each car
that just screamed past. Yowsa! This is gonna' be great! =)
Cheers!

Now, if the producers did that, we'd be ***ing about the shocking
buzzing noise that sounded nothing like what we as spectators hear!
Even the sound of a F1 car in full flight, as picked up by the
microphone that accompanies the on-car camera, sounds woeful when
compared to the phenomenal noise that we hear from microphones around
the circuit.
When the sound is recorded by a stationary microphone, then the tone of
the sound is higher when the car approaches and lower when it goes away.
This is the so-called Doppler-effect. When you're in the car, you always
travel at the same speed as the car, so the engine should sound much more
monotone. That's the difference

I wouldn't give Win98 a 100% score because it doesn't support GPL!
