DP3 questions

okay, Im trying to get into the game and once I got over the graphical and menu disappointments and all the stuff you notice when you first run it, I found myself quite enjoying racing - although I dont find the driving and the adjustments that you have to make that involving. But a few questions: a) none of the AI cars are making any sounds - where is the option to turn them on ? b) the settings for virtual cockpit are disabled (even in software mode) and I cant seem to do the + -, moving the driving position. FWIW I reckon the datalogging is utterly awesome and is almost reason enough to justify buying the game..... -- DarDANe][ Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

There isn't one. > > b) the settings for virtual cockpit are disabled (even in > software mode) and I cant seem to do the + -, moving the > driving position.I think you have to do manual graphics settings for it to come on, and then it ONLY works in software mode anyway. Kev

You can not hear them in GP3. > b) the settings for virtual cockpit are disabled (even in > software mode) and I cant seem to do the + -, moving the > driving position. Have you tried selecting "manual" graphics detail settings first instead of "auto"? > FWIW I reckon the datalogging is utterly awesome and is > almost reason enough to justify buying the game.....

No. I run hardware and have no problem using + - to adjust driving position. JoH

I have it working in HW mode. I think you just need to select manual settings instead of automatic. -Nick
