Just installed it and had quick go, when in race accelerated time icon
screen does not seem to accelerate time , i was in qualifying done a couple
of runs then wanted to accilerate time but it doesnt seem to do anything,
yes it does go to a new window but when u watch the time remaining it just
falls at the norm rate, I havnt got a hr spare time to sit and do a relistic
qual and 2hrs for race.

please help

Yeah... if I posted a personal review on this game this would be one big
bit i'd pick at. It's just teriable. Accelerated time is only like
%200... so 1hr is 30 mins... but it seams to take time to kick in. And
if you hit the real fast forward (that big ff button on the accelarated
time screen) you can't get out of it... even if you set those options in
the race accelerated time on thing's you want to see. Very pathetic
planning in this section.

Have you tried increasing the race speed in the options screen, that
might make it a bit quicker.

Im thinking of buying this game and after reading about its probs was
wondering, is it worth buying?
I have only played GPM1 from the series and enjoyed the game but a problem
with accelerated time sounds heavy, I mean if your driving a sim you want to
play the whole race in real time but.......
Hope the general opinion of this game is positive but think I will hang back
and get more data before I buy. Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,
Adrian.
