Does GPL work without 3D hardware, with a Cyrix 200+, and with a keyboard? And is it Formula One or IndyCar simulation? Thanks in advance

And my other questions????????????

I think you can probably forget about it without 3D hardware :-( also, the sim is hard enough with a steering wheel, I wouldn't expect to do much with a keyboard Formula 1, 2 and 3! (The clue is that it's called "GRAND PRIX Legends") Steve

1967 formula one series. Your street car has more traction than these cars do. That was the way it was back then

Thanks. The reason I asked about the series is because PC Gamer's web site claimed it was and Indycar thing but PC Format said it was Formula One.

Why would you wanna know? If your enquiring about keyboards then give this sim a big miss buddy!

Theoretically GPL will work without 3D hardware; there is a software-only mode. But in practice, frame rate is impossibly slow on a P-233MMX. Maybe it would be ok on a PII-400, but I've never seen one of those. It would be much more cost effective to get a Pentium or AMD chip in the 200 to 233 mhz range for your existing machine and add in a Voodoo or Rendition 3D card. I don't think you can drive GPL with a keyboard, but even if you could, it would be a waste of time. You need a wheel or at least a joystick. "Grand Prix" means Formula One.

> "Grand Prix" means Formula One. I assume it was asked what Grand prix stands for. It means "Big price" .Grand Prix is also used in Horse racing at least here in Europe.

Well, the car in the game is a Lotus.. and I don't believe they have ever been involved in IndyCar, just F1. Could be wrong...

Could be wrong... Jim Clark won the '65 500 driving a Lotus. A.J. Foyt took the pole that year, also driving a Lotus. Trips

Could be wrong... Nope, J. Clark won the Indy 500 in the 60's, in a Lotus. *many* Lotuses have been campaigned there through the years. The GPL demo also includes a Brabham and a Gurney Eagle V-12........ -- * rrevved at mindspring dot com * unit.26 s.p.u.t.u.m. * http://www.sputum.com
