I like GP3. I find it easy to learn and challenging. It works with great with a keyboard, notebook and over a LAN. You don't necessarily need a high end graphics card. ..Andrew

Or worse...n�t!

First, off, let me say I'm glad that everybody is enjoying GP3, and I welcome the addition of new driving/racing fans to the forum. That said, I feel compelled to make the following observation: <humor> We are now witnessing an historic transformation of the rec.autos.simulators newsgroup -- instead of having a newsgroup jammed with posts about how good GPL is because of its truly excellent physics modeling, and how nothing else compares to GPL, we're now seeing the forum jammed with posts heaping accolades on GP3, which looks every bit as good as any SVGA game ever made in the pre-hardware acceleration era, AND it is easy to learn and challenging with a keyboard. Thanks to these wonderful advances that GP3 has brought to the sim racing community, I propose we should refer to ras as "rec.autos.simulators-er-games.that.you.can.drive.with.a.keyboard" from this point on. Also, I think we can all see why ECCI decided to stop making ECCI controllers for the non-commercial sector -- GP3 has made their controllers obsolete. Good news, though -- I understand that TSW will be coming out with a new TSW3 controller which will be as comfortable as the Microsoft Natural keyboard, but it will offer better performance and a lifetime warranty. Thank you, Mr. Crammond, for finally making my pedals obsolete -- I look forward to moving my ottoman back under my computer desk now that I can drive in comfort using my keyboard with my feet propped up, the way God and Enzo Ferrari intended it to be! And, finally, I have discovered why GPL was truly a financial disaster: You can't turn hotlaps with a keyboard! </humor> ;-) BTW, I'm only HALF-kidding here . . . guess which half? <G> -- JB In article <Lu2k5.27150$[email hidden]>, "Andrew Sword" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Keep on dreaming.

It's no dream. As I said, it could have been so much better. Best modern day F1 sim on the PC, but still far from perfect. -- Thief In The Night
