Hello one and all! This post is just a few thoughts which I have had about the excellent game, Microprose F1GP. I only got it to work last weekend after much consultation with Microprose. I have an Escom DX2-66 (I don't think this brand is available in US), and was experiencing a problem whereby when I tried to run F1GP the colours were quite seriously messed up. Microprose investigated this but found no problems with my system spec. I re-approached Escom about it, and swapping the original Avance Logic 1Mb graphics card for an ATI Mach32 card seems to have fixed the problem. So, the m***of that tale is that if you have the same problem then approach Escom and try a different graphics card. well into the game again. Having been reading this newsgroup for the past couple of weeks, I saw the stuff about Imola fastest times. Now I read the "challenge" post and am intrigued - what one earth is GPLAP ? also what are GPed / F1ed ?? I have never heard of these, but they sound quite useful, if someone could tell me where to get them on ftp? Also, I need some stuff on optimal setups. I'm having a championship with 2 friends (on multiplayer - please give us network in F1GP2!) and I am winning but only just. So I want some amazing setups to just leave them for dead! I would appreciate some advice on this. I think thats about all - except can someone mail any existing www/ftp type places for stuff regarding F1GP? Aren't we very close to 1995 driver patch? I nearly forgot, when I was in contact with Microprose (UK) they told me that there <is> : " a car simulation game due for release in the summer of 1995, but unfortunately no details are available at the moment" - and thats the <official> word from the man himself! Thanks alot in advance! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Hackett Bsc (Hons) Computer Science I really need an amusing De Montfort University, UK. comment to fill this gap ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
