GPL or F1 2000: which do you prefer?

Asked to choose between GPL and F1 2000, most respondents preferred GPL, while some said F1 2000 was enjoyable despite poor optimisation. A teenage poster's homophobic insult toward Bruce Kennewell drew rebukes and mockery about his grammar, and the thread ended in jokes about 'Barbie's Horse Riding'.

GPL is far superior to F1 2000. Actually F1 2000 is rather poor. You will be racing GPL long after everyone has forgotten about F1 2000! Chris In article <8egma6$277$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] (Lee Hon Chor (cflo)) wrote:

F1 2000 is very poor. The track layouts are just plain wrong in some places. The AI cars ram you all the time. The grahpics look a mess and the engine is very slow. It was obviously rushed out to catch the start of the F1 season. Also you can do doughnuts in gravel traps! It's lacking quality in almost every area. GPL is probably the greatest computer game and also probably the only accurate PC motor-racing simulation ever produced. And thats my honest opinion... Simon.

I have them both and while I "prefer " GPL I am still pleased to have F1-2000 on my harddrive. Both are challenging enough to keep my interest . GPL is the more mature product with all its patches and player made fixes and is the more "playable" (for lack of a better word) of the two on my 433 mHz --V3-3000 machine since F1-2000 has heavier CPU requirements. F1-2000 could use a patch or two (mainly to AI and frame rate issues)to get it to top of the heap status for me. The fact that F1-2000 models the current racing season adds a real element of interest for me since I can prerun the tracks that the real racers are about to run on. Certainly theres more passing in F1-2000 then there is in the real race :) Since GPL is getting pretty cheap now ,assuming you can find it at all, try them both out and decide for yourself . I like them both for different reasons. David "Lee Hon Chor (cflo)" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8egma6$277$[email hidden]... > Hi, > > which game do u prefer:GPL or F12K? > > Mic

Don Burnette 30 Apr 2000 14:59 UTC#274131
I prefer GPL as well, imho nothing has come close to it, however I don't think F1 2000 is all that bad. I have had some really good races with the ai without any adjustments to them. I can't speak for the track accuracy, as I just am not that familiar with F1 tracks. I do think they are fun to race on though. The graphics is certainly a hog, I agree the sim was probably rushed out which kept them from tweaking and tuning that graphics engine for better performance. I turn some details down, get a framerate I can live with , and run it. Side by side, GPL wins hands down. However for a modern day F1 sim you can have some fun with , F1 2000 may satisfy that need until GP3 comes along. And who knows what GP3 will bring. It may be as bad or worse a graphics hog, hopefully not. -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends "Simon Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:uBUO4.8831$[email hidden]... > F1 2000 is very poor.

If you want the most realistic driving game available (takes a lot of practice to go fast without going off the track) and you dont mind (or like) that its old 1967 Formula 1 cars and tracks then get GPL. Has the most realistic Force Feedback effect also. If you like modern F1 cars and tracks and want something thats a bit more fun than realistic, then get F1 2000. Force Feedback is not so good. I like them both, but I have been playing F1 2K lately. Lutrell Lee Hon Chor (cflo) wrote in message <8egma6$277$[email hidden]>... >Hi, > >which game do u prefer:GPL or F12K? > >Mic

GPL is King Sim. F12k is not. GPL gives a sense of speed, and, once you get going, gives you some diverse, challenging tracks to have some exciting races on. F12k gives a headache configuring your PC to run it, todays dull circuits, and a nice CD, which is shiny <G> GPL is (IMO) a hell of a lot better, and, unlike any other driving game/sim I owned, GPL enjoyed the luxury of never being uninstalled, which speaks for itself really.

Wait. so, If someone prefers F12k, then they're gay? Is that what you're saying? I don't think Bruce was saying F12k is better anyway, but everyone is entitled to an opinion, whether you agree with it or not.

I definitely prefer GPL - the feel of driving, the smoothness of the graphics, the sound of the cars, the quality of the AI, the great on-line community, the classic tracks of that era. That being said, I am still enjoying F1 2000, despite its faults (primarily poorly optimized graphics and some missing features that a modern F1 sim should have - telemetry, flagmen, etc.).

Hmmm, Actually, I don't think this is a human at all. Leaving aside its apparent obliviousness to common rules of decency, it demonstrates far too little subtlety in its posts. At the end of the 20C, only a social neanderthal or a very poorly designed artificial intelligence module would use homosexuality as an term of insult. Indeed, if this was a living and sentient creature, it would probably have a fair amount of trouble just feeding itself. All that aside, the main clue I have for these speculations is that prose "style." It reminds me of those artificial computer voices one heard in the very early days of radio sci-fi. "greetings earthling have no fear take me to your leader"<--regularly-cadenced and nasally monotone "bruce you really are homosexual it is true GPL is far supirior to F12k" <--same. . .
