GP3 how to play online

Someone can explain me how play or how find someone to play GP3 online?????

As far as I know impossible - the data updates are too much for a slow connection. Perhaps Geoff plans it for GP4. James "El Condor" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3b7c0d01$0$54318$[email hidden]... > Someone can explain me how play or how find someone to play GP3online????? > >

I've heard that using GPx, you can play online with GP3. Haven't tried myself, but others have said it works. Alanb "El Condor" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3b7c0d01$0$54318$[email hidden]... > Someone can explain me how play or how find someone to play GP3online????? > >

What he was saying is that while it is posable to connect to another computer via the internet it is imposable to have a proper race because GP3 does nothing to compensate for the lag you get on even the best internet connections.

How many would you like? It's available at just about and GP3 add-on site. http://www.alphaf1.com/gp3/ http://www.grandprix3.com/en/ And of course the author's site at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsdi/gpxpatch.html Hope this helps. : ) -- The Bowler Dude DC Fan # 18 Age means nothing -- unless you're cheese!

Methinks what 'works' and 'what works' are two different things. Even with this xpatch...can you race a full field of human drivers? Head to Head is fun for about two laps unless you actually find two very closely matched drivers. Ya know, I was playing F1 World Circuit modem to modem back....oh a long time ago....and at the same time also playing Doom, first head to head, then 4 player over a special bbs network system. Acpi or APci...can't remember which...point is....here we are in the next FREAKIN' century...Doom 3 is comming out...with tons of Multiplayer options that dwarf the original....and what does GP3.5 have? The SAME MP code from the days of Donkey Kong. !!!!! pity...... dave henrie "Alan Bernardo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:liVe7.2103$[email hidden]...

Hehehehe!

No doubt, I agree. Apparently, seeing that GP3's major market base is in Europe, the makers of GP3 don't think it's necessary to expend the funds to develop good online play. Either that, or else they don't know what they're doing.

Doesn't Europeans play online ? Agree on the last sentece though. :)

I've always heard that the only reason is because of FIA licensing restrictions. But that Microprose would turn a blind eye if the internet capabilities became available. Rafe Mc On 17 Aug 2001 09:25:21 +0200, [email hidden] (Olav K. Malmin) wrote:

Here in Australia Nascar is just about dead but lots of guys play N3 or N4 online, point being Papy has made it very easy to play on line & Nascar online is great racing. perhaps if papy bring out a F1 or a new indy/cart sim we will be able to race that online just as well as nascar 3 & 4. I tried GP2 modem to modem & it was a waste of time, to I guess GP3 would be even worse. "Olav K.

I didn't say that Europeans never play online, but, possibly because of the cost factor (cost per minute for users) online play is not as popular for Europeans as it is for Americans. In a general sense, I think this is true. Alanb "Gunnar Horrigmo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > "Alan Bernardo" <[email hidden]> writes: > > > No doubt, I agree.

Bah, they have it England, it's over in Wales that we can't get it !! :( <G> Though I am hoping to get ADSL installed when it *hopefully* becomes available within the next few months. As for the point about per minute charges, most of the UK can now have fixed rate internet access, can't speak for the rest of Europe though, so online gaming is no longer a prohibitively expensive pastime. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers> "Gunnar Horrigmo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > we do have cable in Europe, you know... allthough perhaps not in > England. or so I've heard. > > > -- > Gunnar > #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 > "a poster is a human being or the software equivalent"

I mean, let's make this simple. You guys in Europe know more about this than I do. Do you think, generally, that games that are mainly targeted to a European audience are as much concerned about multiplayer as they would be if they had an American audience? This has nothing to do about anyone's pride or anything: it's just a question that needs a truthful answer. Of course the next thing to ask is whether GP3 (and its add on) is targeted mainly for European audiences. Whatever the case, something is desperately wrong with GP3's multiplay. All I'm doing is trying to find an answer as to why this is the case.

We have un-metered dial-up, ISDN, cable modem and ADSL in the UK. More expensive than the US for sure (by about 30-50%), but not unaffordable. I also see plenty of UK/European servers on HL / UT / WinVroc. We're not using the wheel yet though ;) "Alan Bernardo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ql9f7.5932$[email hidden]... > I didn't say that Europeans never play online, but, possibly because ofthe > cost factor (cost per minute for users) online play is not as popular for > Europeans as it is for Americans.
