Actually, I've had the V3 for ages, and the P3 600 was �200, but I sold my P2 400 for �50. Already had the ram. idav <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Check www.alphaf1.com/gp3 It's gold. expect warez version soon?? -- eMail: [email hidden]

Well, seeing as it's gone gold, I'm just gonna place an order now. Actually no, I'll reserve it at the local EB so I can go down to the shop and pick it up :) David C idav <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

well, I was kinda worried about this, so I upgraded a couple of weeks ago. P3 600@800 128 Mb Ram V3 3000 Hopefully all should be well :) Of course I may need to get a V5 5500 soon to do the gfx justice.

Wahoooooo.!!! Git the flags oot. Hey, here's a poser....is R.A.S. going to have a party on the 28th of next month...or will it be a wake.? Me...I'm counting the days and saving me pennies...not only to BUY the game - the thought of my hard earned cash going into Mr Crammond's pocket gives me a warm feeling of simulator companionship..but to also upgrade me machine. Figure I'm gonna need a new jaloppy... Erm...along with new vid card, bigger monitor (using 14" at mo) and a FF wheel. Hmmm. Bugger. Looks like the missus isn't going to Skegness this summer. Ian.

Dave, On the 28th July as the clock strikes 9am, 99.9% of the fun has just got to be walking into your nearest Sim store..going up to the counter, opening your wallet, either flashing the plastic or plonking three �10 notes (?)on the counter and with a deep breath saying: "I'll have Grand Prix 3 please." Think of the adrenaline rush as the assistant goes in the stockroom and comes back out with a GP3 box all wrapped and sealed in shiny er....clingfilm. "Ta very much" Then you try to look so cool as you walk casually out of the shop only to run like fuck when nobody can see you. You get home breathless, switch on the computer, rip(?)open the packing, stick the cd in the drive, install it and...nothing happens. Suddenly..up pops a screen. "Mr Crammond regrets to inform you that your computer isn't fast enough to run GP3 - please return the game to your dealer or buy a faster bloody rig." Aggggggggggggggh.!!!

Geez Dave... Do you print money fer a living.??? For yours truly santy's a long way off. Bummer. Hey....I wonder if he's gonna include a vga option ala GP2. Now thats gonna make my crashes and flying display look really spectacular...raindrops the size of bricks as well. Actually...that sounds like a lot of fun. Beats worrying aboot the frame rate.

Is this supposed to be cutting edge? I only get 43 fps average, and it drops to an unplayable 30 at the back of the grid in Monaco (ouch!). For some reason, the resolution is limited to 2048*1600.

Oh well, investing processor cycles in rain reflections seems to be more important than coming up with a genuine physics model. Just for laughs I checked out the "physics" in this sim by trying to do some wet laps with the keyboard (he still supports it! :-) ). Guess what: I could actually drive around like that. So much for physics <G> Also in one of my races I overtook 4 cars. In real F1, they need half a season to do this!!! There's way too much fun in this "sim" to be anything like real."

Er....nope I don't. Do I sound that daft.? Guess it must be the drink. Its either that or I've just had a session with GPL. I re-installed it a week ago..to try and give it another welly, but nah...its still a ring tightener. I'm totally crap at it. I'm not exactly sure why...but I think getting lapped twice at the ring once(?)had something to do with it...talk about soul destroying...I felt a complete dipshit. I know most of the pixel racers here think its the bee's knees but fer me it just brings on the angina. Nope...I like SCGT, GP2, Driver and F12000. I think racing should be fun. GPL is like doing double-maths at school. You're concentrating as hard as you can, even think you've got it sussed but you know in your heart of hearts that you're a complete plonker at it. At least with GP3 I'll be able to keep the car on the ground....er well...hopefully. Roll on the 28th. At least we'll have something new to grumble about. Ian. Got questions?
