Hi,
finally proud owner of german limited edition.
But :
Has anyone found out how to do wet races ?
Not only weather changes seem to have dropped out of the game but weather in
general !
Nevertheless a _GREAT_ simulation. Used to break and steer simultaneously
into the next curves with f1gp ? In GP2 with Keyboard steering you will just
have blocking wheels and the walls say hello !
Or ever tried to change your 2 stop strategy into a one-stop by filling
your car to the limit at the first stop and - got outa fuel during the
last lap ? :-)
It's difficult to drive, because your eyes can't focus on the track :-) The
textures on cars, buildings, hills and track are very impressive.
My P133/16MB/ATI Winturbo gets around 18 fps with sky texture off and just
cars in the rear view mirror. With everything enabled, I get about 9 fps,
wich is still playable (f1gp was worse on my 286) but not much fun
(tested at Hockenheim -have to practice- it's just 10 days away :-).
The program seems to be stable - not too obvious for a microprose 1.0
version recently. I only got 2 graphic drops of each less then half a
second. No crashes and hangups yet (5 hours of playtime).
