UK - Autosport mag has screenshots of GP3

This week's Autosport magazine has got some interesting screenshots. They also say that force-feedback has recently been added to the game. Most of the article reads like an advert so there may be a bit of bias in there! -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu E-mail : ksmatharu # ieee . org [without the spaces and where #=@] Website: http://www.matharu.demon.co.uk/ t.i.n.s.t.a.a.f.l.

And you'll need *what* speed Cray to run with all graphics? :) Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +70.45 Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience... Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Actually all the screenshots look familiar so I reckon we've all seem them before. It was just nice looking at them all on one page. There is some comment in there that the Arrows F1 drivers were used to assess that the wet weather grip was accurate. They also stated that the drivers were very impressed with the graphics. In wet weather, there will be reflections from the track. As the track dries the reflections start to disappear and the track takes on it's normal matt finish. You can cool your wet tyres by driving on the puddles. If engine temp starts to increase then the driver needs to keep an eye on the throttle and not push too much in case the engine goes. -- Kulvinder Singh Matharu E-mail : ksmatharu # ieee . org [without the spaces and where #=@] Website: http://www.matharu.demon.co.uk/ t.i.n.s.t.a.a.f.l.

Finally got a copy, sounds nice, I didn't actually know that tyre temps would be taken into account, apparently so. This is great, a small thing but something which could easily b overlooked.

The glaring ommision in this article was the total lack of word about online possibilities! MS "Kulvinder Singh Matharu" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
