How are the tracks in F1C?

Leaving all discussions about physics aside, for me the track detail in GP4 was much more realistic than in F1-2002 (once you tweaked some of the bright textures a bit) and this added a lot to the immersion factor of a race weekend (plus having all those little pit guys scrambling around for every team - very cool). Have the track graphics, trackside object quantity and track layout been improved in F1C?

There is no comparision between the drivng of GP4 and F1c, but if they tracks are your bag, then GP4 should win out. I will say I was less than impressed by GP4's modability, which is the main reason I have F1c..Gimmie a LeMans Sportscar anyday over the Forumula 1's. dave henrie

Oddly, the reason I felt F1C was a huge leap over F1 2002 was that the physics felt more like GP4 (albeit, again, in a more sophisticated engine). The AI and tracks are ultimately why I tend to prefer GP4 altho I play them both (they both have shit for multiplayer).

HAve you ever tried playing GP4 over a LAN? It's absolutely hilarious. You have to limit the frame rate of all connected clients to match that of the slowest PC on the LAN. Even then, if that slow PC experiences the odd slowdown, it will stuff up the race and lag to the absolute shit. Love the game though, I agree with all your points Jason. Plus the fact that it 'feels' like you're at an F1 event, as opposed to just playing an F1 driving game. massivechicken "Jason Moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
