Folks, I have been a GP2 user for some time and have been happy with it, (even though I run on a laptop with a small keyboard :-/) I missed the initially flurry about GP3 but what are the general impressions ? are people happy/disappointed. I know there was alot of talk about FF and TCP/IP support but both these are in aren't they ? I have read the posts but it is hard to see the trees for the wood if you know what I mean. I suppose my question is whether i should buy a PC now or when GP4 comes out :-) -- Ian

TCP/IP is terrible in GP3. Force Feedback is supported. You can read many experiences in this newsgroup, so scroll, scroll and scroll and read.... > I suppose my question is whether i should buy a PC now or when GP4 > comes out :-) Well the developments of software/games are going so quick, that it has no use saying 'i will wait for this or for that....". If you like something now, you should get it. Otherwise you can wait and wait and wait till you wait for GP36 or something. It simply has no use.. Cause if GP4 is released then others say "but i wait for F1 2004". It has all to do with personal opinions. Follow your own way. One thing is for sure. GP3 is a good game. So is F1 2000. GO FOR THEM !! : - D

It does work, just not over the internet. It was never stated that it would work on the internet either. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> Norm <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Y_en5.68$[email hidden]... > > TCP/IP is terrible in GP3. > > Unless you actually got it to work....don't ya mean completly disabled. > > Norm > >

> It does work, just not over the internet. It was never stated that itwould > work on the internet either. I doesn't have to be stated....its expected, and demanded. Not many games that do well come without Online support. As well TCP/IP is an internet protocol I think that means they inteneded interent play...it just doesn't work...PERIOD! Norm PS- LAN is fine and so is Kali, but I would rather play TCP/IP like most good motorsims

On the back of the box, it states quite clearly "multiplayer races on LAN for 2 - 4 players +" It says nothing about internet, just because you expect and demand it doesn't mean shit. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> Norm <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ncon5.77$[email hidden]... > > It does work, just not over the internet.
