Hi! GP3ZONE's wishlist at http://www.gp3zone.co.uk will be sent to Hasbro on the 20th of November, so if you haven't already contributed, please do! This is GP3 we're talking about - and we can change the outcome of the game for the better, and persuade Geoff Crammond include internet multiplayer, weather factors, career mode...the list is almost endless. But we cannot - and will not - make any impression whatsoever with only 31 people! We need to double that amount, so please vote at the wishlist!!!!!! If everyone, who has even only the slightest interest in GP3 made a wish - we could make GP3 for the better. I'm not doing this for my own benefit - I am genuinely concerned that GP3 will probably not, include a internet multiplayer function, and I hope you agree with me. Here are the most popular wishes on the wishlist so far: Internet multiplayer (13 votes) Stop and Go penalties (9 votes) Wet weather (this is almost certain) (8 votes) Specific driver behaviours (Schumacher aggressive, Villeneuve bad in wet tracks etc) (7 votes) Personal engineer helping with car setups (7 votes) Ability to stall engine (At start and in gravel) (7 votes) Wind, rain, temperature,air pressure and humidity factors in GP3 (6 votes) Safety Car (5 votes) These are the most popular wishes on the wishlist. I could list them all, but there are 72 different wishes in total!

I can't imagine any features being added if the program is even close to a shipping form. Most program features are sketched out, a dream list is made, then pared down to a do-able list and finally a cost effective list. By the time a program is in code form there is little chance that large revisions could or would be worked into the code. Lists like these should have been compliled and sent in when GP3 was first announced. (even then, knowing Crammond, most of his code was probably already inplace) dave henrie

Can't hurt anything so I sent in an e-mail. I hope the game is close to GPL in physic realism. I don't like the in car views I have seen to date as it looks like an in-car view of Papyrus' Indy car racing. I love the Grand prix Legends widescreen look and the ability to see the outside of the tires and the edge of the road. Jerry

Yup, you're right. Netscape 4.7 only shows the HTML code.

I just have ONE WISH: that they finish the ***ing game before they put it in the stores. GP2 was a disgrace!
m.seery 04 Nov 1999#501243
In what way was it a disgrace? What else was around at that time that even came close to GP2? Just curious to hear you qualify your statements MS

A disgrace ?, what else is around NOW that comes close to it ? ;) (Modern F1 that is) -- Ian Parker UKGPL League [link lost in import] [link lost in import] -- > In what way was it a disgrace? > What else was around at that time that even came close to GP2? > Just curious to hear you qualify your statements > MS > > I just have ONE WISH: > > that they finish the ***ing game before they put it in the stores. > > GP2 was a disgrace!
Wish #1: Port the thing to Linux. #2: A linux port would be nice. #3: document the data specs so people can create add-ons painlessly. 31 people isn't much though, considering the GPL-Linux port petition got over 200 signers.

Hi, You have a valid point. But GP3 is scheduled for a March 2000 release, so they do have plenty of time still to make any changes. Just the internet mulitplayer feature....that is the main reason why I did the wishlist in the first place - I want - and many other people want - free internet multiplayer - and at the mo' it seems like we're not going to get it.

Hi, I know....this is a problem I only recently found out. It'll be fixed soon...

> GP3ZONE's wishlist at http://www.gp3zone.co.uk will be sent to Hasbro on the > 20th of November, so if you haven't already contributed, please do! This is I think everybody interested in the game should participate in the list. C'mon, there's nothing to lose and much to gain. Release date is March '00, and probably it will be delayed sligthly further which means we have enough time to (possibly) make a difference. It's only a few minutes time and a couple of sentences!
