Not to my knowledge. Hope (and think) the future GP3 will support 3dfx. Although people are still arguing on whether there will be a GP3 ... <Signature> you really should remove the 3rd 'u' from the address! Per arpera ad astra! </SIGNATURE>
As the 3dfx newbie on RAS, I have tested every sim I can find and ....F1RS is the 3dfx replacement for GP2 ! Tim >> Yes there is. It is called F1 Racing Simulation :-) > Ditto > Larry

I've read the interview with Crammond in PC Format. If he lied about his plans with GP3, then he's the most cruel man in the world :-) WHEN it will arrive, that's another story.......

Alas no. Check out the Grand Prix Legends demo: it makes excellent use of 3DFX >Is there a 3DFX Patch for this??
I read in this months PC Zone that Microprose are working on an update for GP2. >Is there a 3DFX Patch for this??

>I read in this months PC Zone that Microprose are working on an update for >GP2. This fact is fairly known in the community now. It's the 3year awaited Gp2 patch. Wet weather, Fog, and even 3d acceleration in OpenGL. You will be able to race at Monaco with all the graphics (and yes, even the sky) at 25fps on a normal P75. They also worked secretly with the U.S. government (still don't know why) and Papyrus so that the NROS will become the N-FIA-ROS. Nascar and Formula 1 cars will be able to race against each others on Nascar and F1 tracks. Imagine the possibilities... F1 at Talladega, or Nascar at Silverstone !! Also, they included in a free gift a new version of F1 Manager 2, and it lets you now run your races with Gp2 instead of those little Micro Machines from top-view. There is also rumors of a secret track revealed. For those who saw the movie FreeJack, well you need to do the same crash at the start of the movie, but at the intersection of the track at Suzuka. You will be transported into Geoff Crammond's private track in his Hawaii island mansion. This is just a primary list of bugs fixed, and beware that the download would be around 3.4gb of space.

Tim, MicroProse have no plans to create any addon's, patches, updates, sequels or anything else for Grand Prix 2. Sorry. I wouldn't believe everything you read in the magazines, most were stating that a product called GP3 would be released in February by MicroProse and when February came and went they changed it to Autumn. At this time there is no new racing sim under development but when Geoff and MicroProse decide to create a new one we will let everyone know with a press release on our WWW site. Most also state that a program called Civilization III was to be published in the Spring. Wrong again. No Civ3 at this time. If you want real information, it's all on the WWW site via a press release. Here in customer services we have had many people contact us about an update, but GP2 is Geoff Crammond's program and he has no plans to do anything further for this title. For this reason it was delayed 6 months to make sure all the fixable bugs were fixed. The delay meant a lot of magazines (again) and people on the Internet started claiming about things such as wet weather, links to GPM2, network play etc, items we never indicated would be in the game and when it finally came out the rumour mill started again claiming an update would be out to "fix" these ommsions. We know the depth of feelings about GP2. We do monitor the messages and pass these on. Sadly people will not always believe what they are told because they do not like the answers. Most new games we are publishing will contain some 3d support via DirectX but no plans exist for anything on the GP2 front.

Geoff Crammond did an interview for PC-Gamer about GP3. Trying to say PC-Gamer made it up!!! Regards Keith Quinton

> I wouldn't believe everything you read in the magazines, Does that incluse the PC Format special racing games edition with the Geoff Crammond interview? You know, the one where Geoff specifically mentioned that he was working on GP3, or was that made up too? 8-) *Peter* 8-) (NB: remove asterix to e-mail)
