MGPRS2

Hello For the lucky few that have already the successor to ubisoft Formula 1 Racing Sim, now called Monaco Gran Prix2. Do you care to comment on the major improvement from F1RS? Have they improved the user interface (e.g., to re-set to automatic, better way to change fuel level when doing unexpected pit stops, etc.)?? Thanks for your time Jean-Marc

Very quickly, the 2 things you mentioned are now OK, and you can press a function key in the race, pause the race, and adjust your fuel tyres etc for the pit stop!

Hi Jean! One major improvement is the support of multiple screen resolutions. I like to play RS2 in 1024x767 on D3D with my Matrox G200 (CPU is a P-II 300) - very nice car graphics! regards, Bluemax http://start.at/BluemaxF1

You can now switch to 800x600 which looks very good on a Voodoo II board. The cars are more detailed now, and there's a very nice lighting effect on the bodywork, that makes it shines, allthough you only notice this when looking at a replay (which lacks sounds btw ;-( The two new tracks, Jerez and Austria are very beautifully drawn, and it's fun driving there. If you got a few bucks left to spend, you can go for it without regretting it, if you aren't that lucky with cash, you could stick with F1RS! To my point of few MGP2 isn't really a new sim, it should've been an update to F1RS, but then again, Ubi's team have morgages to pay too I guess ;-) It's better then F1RS without a doubt, but it ain't "all that"! BTW, here in Germany there's no "Monaco" in the Title, it's simply called: Racing simulation 2 Regards, Roger

The realism is stunning. I struggle in a ***car to qualify inside 107% in Australia just like Damon. Seriously the challenge has increased dramatically over F1RS. At first I was frustrated but slowly I'm picking up tenths here and there. It gives you an idea of how the drivers feel when they can't 'dial' the car in as opposed to F1RS where pole was just an easy smooth lap away. Dean
