F1RS OFFICIAL ENGLISH DEMO IS HERE...........

I downloaded the demo from here http://www.f1racingsim.com and can tell you that it's excellent . Runs D3D and 3DFX Glide . For Voodoo owners i would suggest downloading new D3D 2.14 drivers as they add very rich color to game. cheers

As for the graphics, Ubisoft is EXCELLENT in that field. If you've seen POD and Subculture, you know what to expect. Ubisoft uses vivid colors, but applies various shadings at the same time to prevent the graphics from looking cartoonish. The anti-3DFX gamers claim that 3DFX can only do washed-out colors. Ubisoft proves them wrong everytime they release a new game.

Hi !! I've downloaded the DEMO but all that I got is a 'GCD init error' after the two initial Screens.. Happens both with the d3d version and the Vodoo Version. I guess I have all the newest drivers .. my System is a P133/48MB and a Monster 3DFX card .. pretty normal I guess .. the other D3D and 3DFX games work fine .. What is 'GCD ' ?? Could someone shed some light on this ?? I think other people might have the same problem !! Thanks Joerg

Nope .. I checked that several times .. I definatly have 2.43 .. also the D3D version gives exactly the same error .. and this one should not rely on the glid2x.dll .. Any more suggestions anyone ?? Thanxs, Joerg

It's not a glide problem, if had this problem until I increased my Windows Swap file to 45Mb and free disk space on C: to more than 50Mb. That seemed to do the trick. Jeez that's what I call a resource hungry program !! Hope this help, Mark Elliott
