> To see the GP2 quicktime movie from the MPS coverdisk (PC ZONE) point > yourselves at my f1 page (http://cslib.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~mjg93/f1.html > Max Great of you to make it available on line! :) Btw the cars, track, etc looked incredible from the outside. BUT the***pit looks like a Japanese stereo rack and there's an animated steering wheel there. Ouch! Animated steering wheel, is it an arcade game? Must be that they haven't cared about getting rid of it from F1GP. I really hope it is gone in the release version. Two steering wheels... Another note, why the hell is the graphic detail displayed in the ***pit just like in F1GP?? No need to have a ***y display telling you that the track texture is on, you can see that yourself by looking at the track which you do constantly when driving... It should be a F1***pit, not some Need4Speed***pit! Although, I'll bet the***pit will be redesigned completely, can't have a ***design like that in what is looking to be a ***y great game. Really hope, too, that Geoff Crammond and his men make GP 2 more realistic than its predecessor just like Papyrus has done with ICR II. If they do it's going to rule like hell!! Let's hope it is being released in the spring. I won't be surprised if it didn't come out until Xmas 1996... -- Terje Wold Johansen "I am your inferior superior."

Thanks for taking the trouble to put this on the web Max. Whoever said this demo was 'jaw-dropping' sure wasn't over-stating matters - it really is **very** impressive. Looking at the start of the race as the cars pull away from the grid really is like watching a film. The scenery is just stunning throughout the whole clip. The only negative thought I have about it is just what hardware they were running this demo on. In fact, I can't help wondering if really was produced in realtime or frame by frame. Still, as long as it can run at this speed on some kind of hardware set up - albeit a P133 with 3d acceleration - I don't mind. Can't wait until they release it as it's looking like being a truly wonderful Crammond-creation! Simon.

I haven't had a chance to look at this movie, so I am asking this question based on no knowledge. Is the movie a replay of game action? Remember that the original F1GP came with a VERY slick (for its time) animated sequence to open the game, but then the actual game wasn't as graphically sophisticated. Comments? Clarification?` -- Stephen Ferguson

I downloaded it from http://cslib.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~mjg93/f1.html From Holland it took me less than 5 minutes to download.

<<5 minutes for a 4+ mb file!??>> Actually, Earl, I think I understand what he means. The server timed me out after 5 minutes when I tried to download it : ( I tried it a few times from work (IP) and once at home (modem) both times using Netscape. I was timed out each time. I only got 10-13% of the file, which would have taken a little over 35 minutes to download by IP.

Hello Wilfred, I am trying to get the movie as well and can't get it. Maybe you can upload it at a site like "ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/incoming". Or maybe you could mail it to me? When you uploaded it to the ftp site please give us a call.

G'day, Here in Australia we are pretty poor souls. We have to wait months after games/magazine releases before laying our hands on the products. (some of 'em anyway). Not only wont we get the January edition of PCZone till about feb, but I can't seem to download the much spoken of F1GP2.MOV file from the web site in the UK. It keeps dropping out after about 700K (***y frustrating). Could someone please upload it to ftp.wustl.edu or something like that, pleeeeease. Thanx in advance Barry

I also have had trouble with this web site. I thought that it was going to be put in a FTP site somewhere. As a last resort, somebody could put it in a binaries group. But it's quite a large file.....

It took me 30 seconds to download... ;)

>>I downloaded it from http://cslib.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~mjg93/f1.html >>From Holland it took me less than 5 minutes to download. >5 minutes for a 4+ mb file!?? Yep, it to me only 2 minutes (from Belgium) at +/- 40K/sec Tomas Van Elst Centre for Industrial Management K.U.Leuven Belgium

When I first putit up nobody seemed to have any difficulty with it. I suggest that it's the load that all you hungry people are putting on our already quite busy server that's slowing us down. Max

That's slow, It took me just 4,3 seconds Robert

: >>I also have had trouble with this web site. I thought that it was going to be : >>put in a FTP site somewhere. As a last resort, somebody could put it in a : >>binaries group. But it's quite a large file..... The problem is that there is some kind of timeout. After about 5-10 minutes of download, the download is aborted. So you CAN NOT download it over a modem (not even a 28.8kbps). You HAVE to download it using a faster connection. I used telnet to connect to my internet provider and downloaded it to the /tmp dir on my providers fileserver. But as one can not run other than text based programs using a telnet prompt, one will have to use a text based www browser. I used a program called "lynx". /Linus Girdland -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Linus Girdland | Studying Software Engineering | | | | | Vapnarstigen 3 | | | S-372 35 Ronneby | "Don't force it, use a bigger | | Phone: +46-(0)457-14447 | hammer" | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

>So you CAN NOT download it over a modem (not even a 28.8kbps). Yes you can. I just did it, it took me about 15 minutes. The thing is that your local connection in this case is not the bottleneck causing the timeouts. PKu

Hmmmmm! downloads at a "Mb per Minute" Huh? If this is the way you quote times, I sure would hate to race you. I bet this guy is a map maker too.................1" = 500 miles... His wife must be "the happiest woman on earth" and probably writes to Dr. Ruth.....
