Sounds like an interesting amount of fixes/additions.  Anyone tried it yet?

Well, at least they managed to bring it out before the *2001* season winds
up. Just barely...

Nice to see the pit conversation finally implemented -- do they use the
same sound files that were already on the *GP2(!!)* CD but never made it
into *that* game??

I do like GP3 -- but my oh my, does the development cycle of this series
run in a timezone all of its own or what? :)

Hehe, probably this is the most to-the-point statement I've ever read on
the topic of GP3. :)

Nope, but there's not much more than what you can get for free anyway.

Hopefully the AI fix is good, probably be the best part.

Where have you seen it (country)?  It's not out in the UK yet.  Maybe
because UK released are usually on friday, or possibly because it's due on
7/9/01.

Available for free download on your usual GP3 sites.

Available anywhere really.

See above.

And again - see above.

Sounds like an interesting feature - what does it do?

Interesting - i think?

Not improved - IMPLIMENTED - this was promisied for the proper release - but
NOW we get it.

All available for free.

Whats he going to tell me that I can see anyway?

Rather do without thanks.

Should read "Artificial Un Intelligence"

Stop Go penalties have been around since WAY before 2000 - so, errr, whats
this about then?

Would rather not bother thanks.

To fill up the CD I guess - would look a bit shoddy with 5 meg of
net-downloads on it

There really isno excuse for this product exisiting.  The game was ***-
the add ons are ***- and GP3 was the last Microprose product I'll buy on
principle. I played it for an afternoon - and then turned the CD into an
ashtray by heating and bending over the back of a bowl.

Here we go, Doug speaks straight and tells us exactly what he feels!
Touche'.. I do not agree but this is ok.. This is the same reason I'll
never buy a Ubi product again :) Cheers -Thom_j.
