some questions about GP3

Hi, I have not downloaded GP3; I'll wait untill friday (not because I am so much against warez; I think most people only use warez version of software they wouldnt't buy otherwise or buy the game legally if they like it). I prefer to wait because I don't want to spend hours looking for a working GP3-version etc.) but I have some questions about the features of GP3: 1) Is the weather completely random or is rain more likely on some tracks (Spa, N�rburgring, Silverstone, �sterreichring) and less likely on others (Hungaroring, Imola)? 2) Can the weather be set manually? 3) Is GP3 playable on my second computer AMD K6-300MHz with Voodoo Banshee 4) Does networkplay slow the gameplay much? 5) Does GP3 have the same multiplayer-option as GP2? 6) Does the weather change faster if the racelenght is less than 100% (like the day-and-night-rhithm in Le Mans) If al these questions can be answered positively, I'll buy GP3 asap, otherwise I'll buy GP3 asap. greetings, hgrm ----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GED/S/IT d- s+: a-- C++ UO P L+ E W++ N++ o?

Can't say for sure if weather is representive of the actual track location, It can change radically from pre race warm up to race time. > 2) Can the weather be set manually? You can increase the probability of rain yes, or set it to never rain > 3) Is GP3 playable on my second computer AMD K6-300MHz with Voodoo Banshee Eeeerrr with details waaay down likely, u probably will suffer the slowmo effect > 4) Does networkplay slow the gameplay much? I haven't tried, can't comment, But would like to.. Anyone hosting a race reply to my email addy, I'd like to check it out, I am on Cable.. > 5) Does GP3 have the same multiplayer-option as GP2? Never have seen GP2 +( > 6) Does the weather change faster if the racelenght is less than 100% (like > the day-and-night-rhithm in Le Mans) Dunno... > If al these questions can be answered positively, I'll buy GP3 asap, > otherwise I'll buy GP3 asap. > > greetings, > hgrm > Tis worth buying if you are willing to race the AI or hotlap the majority of the time. Hopefully something can be done about the multiplayabilty Martyn_D

Yes & yes. Because the weather probability can be set manually, you can guarantee that it will rain on a track. Then on the next track.say Australia where it never rains...<g>, you can set the probability to zero, and race dry. >3) Is GP3 playable on my second computer AMD K6-300MHz with Voodoo Banshee I am running on a AMD K62-350, 128 sdram, 8Mb Ati card. NO d3d with everything shut down. Use 3d software rendering. I like it, but you have to keep in mind that with a card like mine...I havent seen the effects you guys have.:-) >4) Does networkplay slow the gameplay much? Dont race network.....I suck. >5) Does GP3 have the same multiplayer-option as GP2?Has multiplayer but not sure, same reason as above. Cheers **ElfKing** T'was in a kingdom long ago and far away......
