You can fastforward and rewind (at a set speed though I think, haven't tested it much). The angles leaves a bit to be desired as they're very limited. Unless there's some key to switch through more angles that I haven't stumbled upon. Basically I get the TV-style stationary camera, in-cockpit view, and the T-bar camera. I stand ready to be corrected on this, as it's a feature I haven't been playing a whole lot with. -- Frode

GP4's replay features are pretty much standard. Its got play, stop, FF, Rewind, FF to front and end of the replay, etc. The only problem is that there's no replay save feature. You cant save the replay for later viewing, gotta do it after the race or its lost. The Camera angles are great though, much better than EA's series. Its almost like watching it on TV; most are well placed unlike F1 2002. Its apples and oranges.

Then again, F1 2001 & 2002 has fully editable tv-cams so you could put one on the moon if you wanted. The nicest camera in 2001 and 2002 are those who shake by the wind when a car passes :) "Steve W" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > "Frode" <[email hidden]> wrote in messagenews:<SVeQ8.4489$[email hidden]>...

GP3 2000 season is supposed to have the same replay GP4 has. That is, you have the option to set how much you want to be able to replay (at a memory usage penalty). Up to a max of 1.5hrs IIRC. -- FRode

GP3 2000 can record and save a maximum 1,5 hours of replay (you save it by saving the game). GP4 has kept this system. Bart Westra

Out of curiousity, how large does this file get after 1.5 hours? A hotlap seems to be a bit over 100k on average. That's a bit over a minute driving time. So like 16-20 MB? -- Frode

a hotlap is only one car, no? for replays you'll ned to save data on every car on the track. there's nothing problematic about that, btw. -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 gitaren er en sjingke

oh, savegames. don't know about those. I thought we were talking about replays. -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 gnus don't kill people. gnus-summary-lower-score kills people.

In free practise you're the only one on track I think. But if you save a qualifying hotlap you can switch to the other cars on the track while replaying the hotlap. -- Frode

So like 16-20 MB? I have no idea, sorry. I never drove that long ---- in any sim :) I think a replay lap will equal a hotlap without the performance data. I saved one game after 2 and a half lap, it was 700KB. But this probably does not extrapolate in a linear way if you do more laps. Bart Westra

I feel that's where the true test of skill lies. Being able to cope with the pressure of chasing cars and catching up to the front runners etc for 1.5ish hours. I do save during those races, but it's mainly cause I don't always have that much time in a go, and I'm not a big enough fanatic to ignore bathroom/coke refill breaks. A friend of mine many years back challenged me on GP1 (WC). He was wicked fast, but he didn't win a single race cause he was just unable to keep clocking consistent laps and his average turned out way lower than mine over the course of the race. It was especially amusing since he was a competition freak. He absolutely could not stand losing and kept on coming back for more. :) -- Frode
