yeah i only tested and fps was good, no slow downs etc. I'll try racing w/
some other cars but the poor d3d graphics makes me shy away from this
sim/gamulation.

Is that all you really care about?  If so.. jeesh.  Model's ain't
everything, and remember.  We are able to create brand new cars in SCGT,
why won't we beable to creat new models for f1 2000.

Hey, I'm interested into how complex the damage model is.  After being
disappointed by the cookie-cutter damage models in GP2 and F1RS, I am hoping
for something a lot better when I finish this huge download of this game...
So, could someone please do me a favor?  I'd appreciate it if someone would go
backwards and slam into the AI cars at high speed at Hockenheim or Monza and
get a screenshot of the carnage.  :)

I have a problem in that whenever I hit a wall or another car - where damage
would come into play - F1 2000 crashes out to Win98 desktop.  I'm running a
PII 400 Voodoo3-2000 clocked and cooled at 170Mhz.  I'm curious as to
whether or not anyone else is experiencing this.

A couple more comments: Even at 1024x768 the graphics look pretty mediocre
IMO.  I think that D3D on a 3DFX card just isn't up to what we used to see
with Glide.  At least not in this sim.  Also the Force Feedback is almost
completely absent.  And the canned sound effect when you run over the curbs
is very lame.  I tried to start a race and got about 5 FPS until I bumped
another car (damage) and crashed out again.

When I get the chance I guess I'll turn off damage and see if my speculation
is correct.  As far as Internet play is concerned.  If the FPS drop is
anything like what I saw in the race with full field, I would venture to
guess it will be a disaster...

BTW - if these issues can be worked out - I'll probably buy this title.  If
not, I'll be removing it.

Anyone who tries to use a pirated version of a game to
"analyse" and "test" it is asking for inconsistant results.

Things are missing, files have been patched, etc etc..

 I dont care how great of a simulation it is, the crummy d3d makes this sim
seem cheesy. Is it the fact that im using a V3 card?

I agree, but damn it I want to drive this thing now.  That being said, after
taking it for a spin I will be purchasing it next week.  I'm very
anti-piracy, but I just couldn't help myself.

When does the Voodoo 5 ship???

According to the Myth.nfo file there are 3 releases of this game.The
Class and evil-iso releases are both based on a Beta version,which
could explain some of the problems people are having with low frame
rates etc..The Myth release is supposed to be the final.
The game bieing available in warez channels doesn't mean its close to
shipping, IIRC Rainbow 6 was on the net a month or so before it
shipped..

If they had to take out the movies and music, they had to
patch files to do so. Final version or not
