Why do it difficult when it can be so simple: there is a new "help" icon on the
steeringwheel (the one located most to the right side) which refers to
steeringhelp. And it is active :-)

Leaked Grand Prix 3 video clips impress readers
Simon Brown linked to a set of short GP3 video clips, apparently from a German TV feature, which needed the DivX codec. Viewers were especially impressed by the wet-weather footage, while others noted the driver seemed to use steering help and a Microsoft force-feedback wheel with the effect off. Some had trouble downloading or playing the files.

"Sweet" is all I can say when I watch the movies of the wet race. Time will
tell what the frame rates are like, the multiplayer, yadda yadda, but on
visuals alone, I'm sold. The graphics aren't overdone, like some recent F1
games, but not as stark as GPL. Those must be the nicest looking front
wheels in any sim. I can't get all upset about the armless wheel, because I
am too busy trying to pick my jaw up from seeing the wet track. The
reflecting puddles in RC2000 were a step in the right direction, but this
has "atmosphere" in bucketloads (those would be the buckets that were
previously full of rain). Some of the screenshots showing a drying line
leave me feeling very good about getting into some serious strategical races
(shades of Donnington '93). The independantly locking front wheels are a
good sign as well. Spray off the front and back wheels. Wee-haa. Sign me
up. It's only 50 bucks, after all.

Ok, you've been waiting to see something geuinely jaw-dopping from GP3?
Well, it's just arrived. Go to http://www.geocities.com/ose75orxy/ and
download some of those short movies. They are simply stunning. You'll need
an avi compression codec to view them, which you can get from
http://divx.ctw.cc (700k). The movies are apparently captures from German
tv, which got hold of a final copy today.
These movies restore my faith in GP3...
Try the first one in the list, it shows an extremely convincing wet track.
A big thanks to Schorle for capturing and uploading them.
Yeah, I don't know what that's about but it's nothing to do with me.
I just tried the page again and got re-directed a few times before the
proper page came up correctly. It might have been because geocities has
been down. The movies are definitely there, and they are definitely from
GP3. :)
Try this direct link instead http://www.geocities.com/ose75orxy/GP3_13.avi ,
that should work. And heres the rest (0.5 - 2 MB in size)-
http://www.geocities.com/ose75orxy/GP3_14.avi
http://www.geocities.com/ose75orxy/GP3_17.avi
http://www.geocities.com/ose75orxy/GP3_21.avi

http://www.geocities.com/ose75orxy/GP3_28.avi
http://www.geocities.com/ose75orxy/GP3_29.avi
I haven't seen them all yet but the wet weather movies are extremely
impressive. Again, thanks to Schorle.
By the way, for anyone who doesn't want to download them all, check out the
first two, http://www.geocities.com/ose75orxy/GP3_13.avi and
http://www.geocities.com/ose75orxy/GP3_14.avi which both feature wet weather
and are the most impressive. Also remember they won't play without that
codec.
Sorry about the multiple posts on this subject, but make sure you
right-click and "save-as", just left clicking will launch Windows Media
Player and attempt to stream the files in real time, which most likely won't
be fast enough.
Where are the other cars??
Perhaps other traffic brings the computer to its knees?

I watched them all. I'm feeling very confident this sim will be the best
yet.

And if you look the position of the steering wheel compared to car trajectory
you can deduct that he had steering help ON. Especially in GP3_29.AVI.

And I thought the still images of the wet track looked good -
the movies really show the true effect, and its simply amazing :)

No flashing lights = eat doghnuts
Anybody understand German? Movie avi.17 I hear a mention of "pentium,
pentium zwei funf hunert"? I have very little German skills but I
believe they are saying Pentium 2 500. Can anyone put the conversation
in context?

OK, I've got the first two.
Now stupid media player won't find/get the right codec.
(Using the one in Win2K)
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Michael,
I really hope you have figured this out by now but to quote from the
original post " You'll need an avi compression codec to view them,
which you can get from http://divx.ctw.cc (700k). "
Works like a charm.

Yepp, they mention P2 500 in that video. I still have to download video
#18 to hear, if it ran good or bad on that machine...
