Warlock! 17 Oct 2001 21:43 UTC#157484
Now that I've figured out how to get the game to run on my *work* computer, I can honestly say what I originally thought when I saw the game running at Indy for the USGP... "That ain't F1 2001! That's gotta be F1 CS 2000!" No way, with the way things look thru the new graphics engine, were they playing 2001, I don't care what the guys told me. It was a straight outta the box version of 2000 with maybe some name updates. Sorry, this just occurred to me... Go about your business now... ;) Warlock!
Actually, I was there hanging out with Gjon Camaj of ISI and James Hawkins of EA, and that WAS F1 2001 that they had running in the big tent at the USGP. I think they had some driver compability problems with the PCs they were using, and it may not have been the FINAL version, but it definitely WAS F1 2001. ;-) -- JB On Wed, 17 Oct 2001 16:43:02 -0500, "Warlock!" <[email hidden]> wrote:

John, Tell the guys at EA to chuck these things at RAS a few days before they demo the thing. We'll sort out the compatibility issues. How many hours did it take for the posts to change from "runs like a dog" to "now its sorted it is the dog's bollocks" ;-) Tony "John Bodin" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
