This game was included with one of my dads PCs. We used to play this together alot.. he even got an expensive racing steer for this game.. Game over dad, game over..
Lucky guy then. I always played with keyboard, untill GP4!!! And it's interesting, how i was always very quick in Monaco, on "GP" and now days, with a gamepad in PS4 "Sims", i really suck, on this track!!
i'm trying to use a, z, :, ;and space to shift and i can't cordinate my hands. How did you do the problem is when i use space for shifter that i don't know wich finger i've to use haha
Very impressive for it's time... The most impressive part, has to be the way the game does the elevation changes. And true to Nelson Piquet Sr., it does make driving in the streets of Monaco look like trying to ride a bicycle inside of a house.
Monaco was always hard in GP2, partly because the wheels weren't part of the cockpit view. I also remember the gearing meant that nearly every corner was taken in first! Great days!
@Droopyl33 The video is made from a replay, and when running the replay, recording the video, the graphics was turned up to maximum. I think I did the video with DOSBox on Windows XP in 2009. I tried to configure DOSBox so the replay run in real time as much as possible, but I did not spend too much time on it.
I loved this game when I was little! In fact, I had a steering wheel to play it with. It was so cool! Something that truly bothers me even to this day is that track, "Pacific", on the course list. It was one of my favorite tracks and I still don't know which circuit it was meant to look like...
The game looks very much like Monaco Grand Prix Racing Simulation 2 on Dreamcast (textures, sound, aesthetic). I wonder if Micropose made a deal with Ubisoft to share some assets.
1:20.230-1:18.560 are Michael Schumachers pole position setting Q1 and Q2 times from the 1994 Monaco Grand Prix (which is featured in this video.) So pretty damn realistic for 1996 considering this record is a 1:13:979.
quite good but was it the original game at 100% ? without any add-ons ? And what was the type of computer(processor) ? I have the impression that there are more frames per second than on my computer so it could be easy to go faster...
It's not me driving. My best back then was 1:14.4. You can always get faster at a track. Just do more laps. How are you able to drive that old game now?
Yes, I've just dug up a Pentium II with WIn 98 some week ago, just to play again to GP2! I control the game via a Thrustmaster formula T2. My fast laps on each track are about 1'' to 3'' faster than the game (original 1994 levels) which is not so bad I guess. I'm working a lot on the car setups, but then I reach a point and I don't know how to go faster.
Awesome!!! You can download replays here www.grandprix2.de/hotlap/GP2NoHelpHotlaps/gp2nhh.html , then just watch a replay, and after watching then the setup used in the replay is your setup. I don't remember exactly how to get a replays setup, but it should be something like above. The problem with hotlap setups is that they are optimized for the driver's driving technique, so if you don't work your wheel, gas and brake the same way as the driver who developed the setup, then it could be undriveable. I think my setups are driveable, though :-) . I have a couple of replays on that site above.
oh my goodness!! I will watch the replays as soon as possible and try the setups. Yes I know what you mean, each person has his hown driving style. The problem is that I still use steering help (but not opposite lock help) and i think there is the big difference.I tried to drive without steering help and it seems it is quite impossible for me...
The setup is just perfectly adjusted for the simulated car and the track. With a different engine, it would not be advantageous to use 6 gears for just 90 km/h (280-190). But here it is... For example, the 2019 pole lap: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ej8n56fkgWY.html That's a lot of gear changes as well... :-)
@@Bartospeed 5 seconds sounds a lot of diference... I made my lap going tonrhe limit all the time... In interlagos for example what was your best? I made 1.15.229
@@lafu0880 1.12.855 was my best on Interlagos. You can find all times here www.grandprix2.de/hotlap/GP2NoHelpHotlaps/gp2nhh.html from the competition back then. You can also still download the replays which include setup. The setup makes a lot of difference. Were you using manual gear shift?
