Some interesting things in GP2.EXE. Maybe you can find better ones :)

Senna? Interesting. I wonder how this affects anything, or
where the name would appear? Maybe it's a default set of
names in there that you might see as a kind of "spare
driver" when viewed in some kind of teams editor? Hmm...
This is also an area where the teams info is, so hopefully
some coding guru will get to work in there and give us a
righteous Helmet/Teams (Car *body/Wing* Editor?) utility
such as happened with those classic F1GP editors! :) This
must be the first priority for any "add-on" - the weather,
extra tracks and so on must surely be secondary to this.
I mean... I can enter my name in the driver info area,
but I've got to "borrow" some other guy's helmet!!!! :)
(Not to mention have to drive for someone elses team)
I think I'm too used to driving with my personal helmet
and car colors for *ages* now with F1GP/ICR/ICR2... and
now it all seems retrograde to have to "make do" with
the default drivers and teams! I can't feel "settled"... ;)
I think the *official* upgrade would be good if it has;
1) ALL the F1 circuits in the world, built for us. So
that way we could choose the 16 or so circuits from a
MASSIVE track database on our harddisks! We should be
sorted for a few seasons to go then and not worry about
"if" (heh, they ALWAYS change) it's different next year,
and the next...
2) Variable weather in any race (obviously a must).
3) If Microprose can do a good job of it, then we want
a complete teams editor/paintkit. We don't want constant
"upgrade disks" with ever changing teams every year - we
want a paintkit and driver attributes editor so we can
input the data and edit our helmets ourselves, thanks!
If possible, a car bodyshell editor would be nice, or
at least changing if the car has a "raised or lowered"
front wing - aren't they ALL raised now? I'm convinced
there's a hero out there working on this right now! :)
Keep your *** hot,

Thats cool but hehe Im still sucking at this version.
This is very exciting I would hope that the Senna in the sim would be
brilliant at qualifying. I would then watch the qualifying to see him
come out at the last moment make three laps and smoke everyone.
Agreed that is weird considering whats out there now. Geez in ICR2
I had my own helmet. And thats not even that important in ICR2 but in
GP2 where tradition is to have personal colors cant do it.
I would be stunned and forever grateful if in this trackpak they would
give us some of the old tracks. SPA the way it was intended,
Nurburgring with its bad old self, Monza without the chicanes,
Silverstone before the tracks balls were cut off, so on so forth.
Here I disagree a little with you but I feel that weather is the most
glaring flaw in GP2. Worse in my eyes than the lack of damage caused
by running into walls at 150. We need weather, IMHO.
Agreed.
