Ubisoft: 1st In Dynamic Weather?

If I remember correctly, F1 Racing Simulation was the first game to do dynaminc (changing) weather. True? -Cheers!

Nope, the original World Circuit GrandPrix was. "Regular Racer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:w3ee6.620$[email hidden]... > If I remember correctly, F1 Racing Simulation was the first game todo > dynaminc (changing) weather. True? > > -Cheers! > >

Not exactly, in F1GP (or World Circuit GrandPrix) the weather didn't change as you drove, which is what's meant by dynamic weather. It had different weather types (2, dry and wet), but wasn't the first game to have this feature. Although maybe it was the first where you could have both weather types on any track, not sure about that. F1RS was the first one to have dynamic weather that I can remember too.

What about TOCA touring car championship (the first one)? I can't recall which came out first, F1RS or Toca1 Jay J "Jan Verschueren" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Not exactly, in F1GP (or World Circuit GrandPrix) the weather didn'tchange

I don't like to agree with Jan V. ;^) so I'm glad to say that F1RS didn't have changing weather... l8er ronny -- This is Linux country. On a quiet night, you can hear Windows NT reboot.

Had very fast moving clouds though did'nt it : ) Regards Mike On Fri, 02 Feb 2001 14:34:41 +0100, Ronald Stoehr <[email hidden]> wrote:

Hmmm... I'm not going to argue as I sold the game about a year ago. I seem to recall it getting overcast and brighter again when there was only a slight probability of rain, but it could well be the actual weather remained constant for the duration of a session. Too long ago for me to be sure. MGPRS2 has it for sure, but it's not as sophisticated as GP3's (the game is 2 years it's junior though). Was it the 1st? -I don't know, but it sure wasn't F1GP, which was the main gist of my post. Jan. =--- Ronald Stoehr wrote...

No, Ubi were the first to make a damn good stab at a wet track. Although weather could change from time to time it never changed while you drove in MGPRS2. I'm not sure if older sims did, GP1 had wet weather but i don't believe it was dynamic. GP3 is the first to really have a go at it and came up trumps.
