Now we know why there called Monkeys

EA code monkeys should be ashamed of what they have done.If I can play N4 at 1600x1200 with all the details and never drop below 40fps at Martinsville then something is wrong. Aside from the poor graphics implantation the rest of the game seemed quite nice. The best sound yet in a modern era F1 sim, and you can actually turn the blasted music off. Take the graphics from F1RC, the replay mode from papy, the sound and physics model from F1 2001,the rain fx from GP3,then you would have game. Tim --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

The graphics are poor ? Really ? I thought they were bloody nice. Smooth gameplay, good graphics.

Tim, read the f1 2001 posts from the last couple of days, it mentions how to solve your fps problems. With all detail settings on high f1 2001 looks very good. In a way even better than f1rc, less cartoony, more realistic. Andre
