I remember reading a good while back an answer to a question about GP3 and I was dismayed... The question was about whether the new game would be based on the GP2 engine and the answer was (something like)... "After the amount of time I've invested in GP2 I'd be mad to s***it and start all over again" I quite enjoyed GP2, but the way time sped (is that a word?) up and slowed down drove me -insane-! If Crammond solves that fixed frames bit then we could have a masterpiece. Then again, if it's a truly accurate representation of the sport(!) then... Sorry, I fell asleep there!

Isn't it wonderful that we have all these companies who are devoted to racing simulators? What would life be like without them, I wonder. The Excelsior "ICQ #40620378"

GP2 is good in software on a current box, so I don't think it's anything to worry about. Running GPL in software vs. hardware illustrates that difference pretty well. Tim

Personally, I found Crammonds solution fascinating... I'd prefer 'time warps' over dropped frames and less detail. But, that's just me... -Larry
