GP2 voices/tyres

Hi: GP2 How can I choose the different types of existing tyres (A,B,C,D)? Or does it the comp for me? What can I do to hear the voices from the pit included in the file sample.cat DURING the game? Thanks

The tyre compound selection has been one of the most controversial subjects discussed about GP2. Truth is, in 1994 the FIA chose tyre compunds for all teams, so one could not run a softer tyre in the latter half of a race to gain grip, position, etc. As with the voices, this is totally my opinion, and I probably have several friends at r.a.s. who might back me up. Okay, here goes: Geoff Crammond, knowing the game would be hacked, patched, and cheated, put in little "look-what-you-can't-have" sound bytes just to wreak havoc among the utility creators. Evil, huh? John :|:

It chooses the compounds for you, and you can't hear the voices during the game.

Hi there HELPME! You cannot change the tyre compounds at all. The game makes the selections for you, the same way as in real F1 where Goodyear brings the compound to the track that is most suitable. Every car gets the same compound. No favourtism here. Also there is no way, that is until Microprose release an update (if that ever happens) that you can hear any other voices or sounds in the game. It shows that Microprose relased the game in a somewhat unfinished condition. Or maybe it is finished and they are just waiting for us poor suckers to shell out more money for an update disk that will "unlock" various features in the game which are already in place. Hope this sheds some on the subject HELPME! David Strid http://www.ozemail.com.au/~dstrid/f1gp2.html http://www.ozemail.com.au/~dstrid/gp2utils.html http://www.ozemail.com.au/~dstrid/f1votes.html

Close - FIA banned special qualifying tyres but I think that other than that there are no special limitations on compound. It's just that Goodyear were only taking one type of tyre to each race, so the teams had no choice. May become different now Bridgestone are about as well. ROFL!! (yes, I can believe it - probably Geoff's voice as well <g>) Cheers, Richard
