Hi,
After I uploaded the three new screenshots to [link lost in import] they
caused quite an interest, especially the little screenshot of the stewart
ford in the midst of the third screenshot. Because of the interest, and from
a request, I rescanned in the stewart ford in a higher resolution so I could
make the screenshot "bigger". I have added this to GP3zone (address above)
but I have been unfortunately forced into putting my site URL at the bottom
of the screenshot because of rival GP3 sites "stealing" the screenshots.
(NB: www.GP3.org did not steal it, I gave them permission).
Well after rescanning the stewart-ford, I compared it to the screenshot of
the arrows. I noticed several things:
1) The arrows in 1998 had a very high, pointed nose (please correct me if
I'm wrong.) The nose of the arrows in the screenshot has a very low nose,
similar to the 1999 Mclaren. From this I can conclude that in the early
stage of the game, Geoff has not added individual car shapes to the game.
Let's hope he does so - however research from the wishlist at GP3zone shows
me that only 1 out of the 22 people who have voted so far have put in a
request for different car shapes. (NB: if you haven't yet voted, please do)
2) The new stewart I scanned in and added to GP3zone also has a very low
nose. However, take a look at the sidepods. The sidepods of the stewart are
very slanted, whereas the sidepods on the arrows are very straight. This
contradicts the evidence from observation 1 which tells us that at the time
of the ECTS expo (where the screenshots where taken) all the cars had the
same shape.
3) From 1 and 2, the evidence points directly to say that Geoff is working
on different carshapes for the game, but had not completed the carshapes for
all the cars by the time of the ECTS expo. Remember, GP3 is only 60%
complete.
What do you think? Take a look at the screenshots
([link lost in import] and see for yourself.
