GP3: Annoying Shortcomings?

I find there are quite number of shortcomings in this game. The lack of compatibility with the V4 wheel is one, but there are so many others. For example, why are we stuck with the rev. limiter in the pits? I should choose to put it on or off myself, like in F1 2000. Or why does why car survive relavely high speed crashes when a real F1 would come back to the pits for much less (I drive Ace with full realism)? Or why don't I hear other cars? Why isn't there isntant replays, like in GPL? Or again, when I start a race, why don't I really control the start? Meaning, I keep it in first gear, full throttle, but the car only springs foward when the red lights turn off. I like the game. But I would like it much more if it was a finish product... Zen

Add to that the poor AI ( cars don't "see" when alongside) and the stupid occupancy thing (come on, only 25FPS max) which means you can't compare hotlaps and the unrealistic black flag system. There's also a bug that means that sometimes your telelmetry is not recorded which really pisses me off when i've just put in a good lap. It's a great game and I still love it but there are some glaring and very annoying problems which should have been fixed in the four years that Geoff has been working on it. Some Call Me Tim

All of your "issues" are design features of the game. -- [email hidden] "Zen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:YuRn5.14783$[email hidden]... > I find there are quite number of shortcomings in this game.
