Hello all. I was just wondering what I should do: 1. Wait for a gp2
patch or gp3 (I have heard all kinds of gossip about gp3. Is Microprose
really working on this game or is this just a rumor? If true, then when
is the game due out?) 2. Buy f1rs and have to get used to a whole new
feel for the car. To me it would seem almost impossible for another
game to be better than gp2 in terms of car realism.

For you stick to GP2....
For me I have the five minute board at Spa and its just starting to
drizzle, Im wishing that I would have put the wets on and hoping that I
can get thru Eau Rouge without making a face plant into the guard
rail....Im wondering if one of the young wonders behind me is gonna make
a banzai charge taking me out of my hard won spot in 7th position. Im
wondering if the rain is gonna last. The FOG looks wonderful, but I
think its gonna clear....OOOH MY.
Im wondering how in the heck someone releases a Formula 1 simulation
without rain....then Im not worrying about it cause Im driving the New
King of F1 Simulations. F1 Racing Sim....not a bad first effort...after
all knocking off a couple of GODS...
You go Ubisoft...<VBG> And if I was Papy and Geoff I would be worried,
very worried about the Addon to F1 Racing sim F1 98....be very worried.

Hi
GP2 is the game I have played most. (Played it _a lot_) Then I got F1RS,
and after that I got the T3 wheel from Thrustmaster..............
Then the other day I wanted to try GP2 with my new wheel, it was fun
BUT.............I deleted GP2!!!!!!!!! And yes, I dont want to play GP2 ever
again.!!!!!!! (Never thought I should hear myself say that)
Do I have to say more?

My advice? You already said it---buy F1Rs and get used to a whole new feel
for the car--and a lot more new (and better) stuff besides.

I wouldn't hold my breath, but I haven;t played f1rs either, but I plan on
getting it as soon as I can.

How many years has GP2 been out? How many patches have there been? How
many will there be??? Microprose has stated even in this ng that they have
no plans at this time to do a GP3. If you hold your breath, you'd better
notify next of kin.

Buy F1RS, and when/if GP3 hits the streets, buy it too. In as far as
"car realism", I hear GPL (Papyrus) will raise the bar for physics
futher than any sim previous.
Cheers!

What is the GP2 patch you're waiting for?
I haven't read anything about it. Didn't think MicroProse was going to
be doing anything else with GP2. <???>

Microprose is making GP3. They just don't want to admit it so their not
dedicated to a release date like GP2.

Unless of course you take into account the physics that need
to be modeled for changing weather. GPL drops the bar to the
floor on that one.

Granted, lack of rain is a major***up, but then Microprose have
always been adept at screwing up and ******* the consumer. As for F1RS
being the new king, maybe, but what use is a king who most people
can`t use? The system requirements for that game are insanely high.
Sure, eye candy is nice, and rain would be nice, but all this 3D
accelerator ***is getting out of hand.
GP2 FOREVER! Geoff Crammond has always been, and will continue to be
GOD!:-)
Ubi can stick it. (I could get a message to them actually, since I
know someone who works for them:))

Well... you can't have it all. Besides, who in this newsgroup would be
able to handle one of those old racers in the wet anyway?

hehe...oh Geoff worshiper....you worship false idols.<G,D & R>
Wait how did Microprose***up....sounds like ole Mr. God couldnt
get rain to run fast enough with HIS engine. Then decided to never
update the game to take advantage of the technology.
hehe..the people without 3d cards are always saying stuff like
this....all I can say is ooh boy I hope it gets farther out of
hand....cause Im liking it. And before you start giving me the eye
candy vs substance lecture please be aware that I MIGHT be the formost
authority of that on the flight sim group...considering Ive been
flying an Untextured sim (Su-27 Flanker) for over 2 years.
3D cards are the single best piece of hardware to come out in the last
two years....aside from faster processors. Get one and see.

Oddly enough, you are clueless about 3D cards then. Get a 3D card
other than 3dfx and it will get out of hand as you say.
You 2 should make a nice couple.
I don't know what your basic problem is (Prozac?) but you are just
trolling for flames. You do look like quite the fool.

Uh huh. So, probably a bunch of people upgraded their CPU when GP2 came out
so you could get half-decent framerates with it. Cost? Say $200-500, depends
when. Nowadays, you can buy a 3dfx for $150 or less and get more bang for
your buck (heck, I'm still using a P133). So, which one had "insanely high"
req'ts for its time? And for a decent framerate, with both at near graphic
equality, which would cost more in upgrades to get it to to be
competitive now? So, go on and continue to buy the latest and greatest CPU to
play the next gen of games (this has always been the case). And don't buy a
3D accelerator that costs half as much, and gives you more. Makes sense to
me...
As soon as he learns how to program a game that doesn't fix framerate and
understands that some people like to race in REAL TIME.
I think hes dreaming...? At least its a nice dream...

to make it into the sim, how then do they drop the ball? Granted, if
Papy promised rain, and then it turned out to be nothing more than eye
candy (or something poorly implemented), then yes; they would have
certainly dropped the ball IMHO. Personally, I'm more interested in
the subtle nuances of a fine driving model, rather than complicating an
already difficult situation with slick tarmac. ;)
