Gp2 Update

One day they will pull there finger's out and give us a real sim.

Thanks for that insight. Strange, but I do have an incredibly realistic sim on my PC. It's called GP2. I assume that you haven't actually got it or haven't bothered to look beyond the opening screen. Richard

Well said I cannot remember who it was, but know it was a few weeks back and on this group. They said that the day Damon Hill and the like hit this group and say it is unrealistic, that is the day it is :)) Having never driven an F1 car and only seen them from trackside and on the T.V. - the game looks pretty realistic to me I love it Gary --

Actually you have an incredibly realistic sim, which is nothing more than a beta. No Wet weather(although it is there),bugged to hell,and more importantly NO ***Y NETWORK SUPPORT. Just think what it would be like if they had finished it. Oh yes the "famous" update is on its way. It would be nice of them to actually tell this of course.

This is the best damn beta I have ever driven! Is there a bug list for GP2? I don't know how I have managed to play this bugged to hell game for so many hours, and still not have any of the bugs create any problems. The sim hasn't even crashed on me yet. Considering the fact that this 'unfinished' beta is professionally presented, runs great, simulates F1 well enough for Jacque Villenueve to practice with and is a damn site better than *many* other completed games on the market - I'm never going to buy a finished game again! Finishing a game wrecks it completely. Jet

Please don't take this too personally, but I find the original post in this thread & your response to be all too indicative of the sad state of this newsgroup. Why, oh why, do so many people here seem to believe that they have a right to demand whatever they want? We have a number of excellent simulators on the market. If people stopped whining for 5 minutes, they might even start to enjoy them. GP2 cannot be a beta. It is sitting on computer store shelves across the world. By definition that makes it a release product. It's your choice whether to buy it or not. Perhaps you could substantiate your "bugged to hell" claim. There are a number of minor bugs, but none of them actually affect the gameplay in any appreciable manner and IMHO it is one of the least buggy programs that I've purchased in the last 2 years. I'm sure we would all have preferred GP2 to have wet weather & network support, but that doesn't mean that the game isn't finished. it just means that a commercial decision was made to release the product without them. You pays your money & you takes your choice. I'll believe this when I see it. Other than an unsubstantiated post in this newsgroup, I have seen no evidence whatsoever that there will be an update.

I got 29.99 worth of pleasure within the first week of getting it. Some people are just never happy :-) Mark McCall

Struggling in PRO at the moment... Could be a while until I whine. Great game! Rob Adlam Hamilton, New Zealand.

Is there going to be a update ?

writes Okay, we can start whining. Most of the top league guys can take 1-2 seconds per lap off the computer cars in a race... Cheers!

Sorry, John, but you're only allowed to whine for two weeks after the last such occurrence. Your quota ran out on the 16th ;-) Are you going to be there at Hockenheim? Cheers, Richard (who can only whine during hotlapping & qualifying <g>)

Yeah. But we would all like to see weather and network restored wouldnt we? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Park Group, Southend, Essex. UK -----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm gonna try. I have a couple of good setups, and that usually goads me into doing a race. Hockenheim is a bit boring however, and time is really tight. I'll do my best, but TI and Jerez for sure! Cheers!

I am able to wine because I spent forty dollars on it. If I had downloaded it I couldn't whine, but I didn't.
