Wow. Nice to see. I´m still playing Generally 1 and created lot of tracks by myself. This game is still fun and it´s still very good playable. Great to see G2 is released.
Good job. After the front wing damage I thought that the race was done. But luckily the team crew were able to fix it and you got the speed back. Seems that you had very balanced setup for the race.
Wow I am so happy I came across this video. I am currently building a game/mod for iracing that is similar to what you described (much simpler). Seeing so many people want something like this gives me motivation to continue the project!
I have Windows Vista, as I mentioned in my last comment, and the game runs perfectly on that. However, there are issues. I now have no Internet access for Vista, which means I can't download any mods for this game. Furthermore, I can't set up my racing wheel either as I have no internet access ( it is a very old packard bell desktop running Windows Vista). I do have a Windows 11 laptop, but I don't know how to run this game on that.
I always played with the yellow Penske , that is much faster and 2.30 miles + laps are possible .
Que corrida boa mas deu dobradinha brasileira com Emerson Fittipaldi e raul Boesel
hmm dont agree
I've been following lots of GP2 challengers, I found someone climbing up the ladder from Pacific Team, that's as insane as this challenge here.
Pace deficit from pre-qualifying pole: Phoenix: 104.45% Interlagos: 106.45% Imola: 107.65% Conclusion - How the hell are we less competitive despite of the upgrades?? We are loosing the development race!
Thanks for the stats, not looking too good :D Although, Phoenix is a slow street course, for Interlagos you need more power and for Imola even more. Seems the engine power is a huge problem, the 20 more bhp we got in development is not nearly enough. Monaco will be super interesting though!
blows my mind how a game from 1994 runs better and is more realistic then nascar ignition
Heroic effort by Bang in such a nail of a car. He could be one to watch in the future...
At least he seems to be persistent :D
Just a note that the DosBox ECE link has an issue "dosboxece.wordpress.com is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site." :/
Why don’t you go faster?
Because Coloni :D
You didn't made setup work? I think the gear translation was to high and maybe a lower rearwing. Suspension?
I did setup work, but less than I'd normally do. Trying to "simulate" the lack of resources and testing of Coloni team and I only give myself the friday free practice to setup the car. The idea behind the gears was to have a bit of extra on 6th in case I'd get to do some slipstreaming, but obviously that failed. Also tried lower rear wing but the car became impossible to drive :/
I was so optimistic with all these Updates. Damn. But hey, without the Updates even the Life's could be faster ;)
To be fair Imola has always been hard for me. We'll see how Monaco goes, hopefully we'll get some aero / chassis updates before that :D
All those sponser stickers are surely hurting the aero package...such as it is. :)
We're trying to get the new revolutional aero-stickers developed for Monaco!
gp2 engine
Or gp3?
very nice driving, i currently play GT LEGENDS and i love it.
Thank you :) Some day when I have time I'll have to do some GTL as well :)
Once again victory... againts our rival team Life 😉
That's true, one has to learn how to enjoy the small victories!
BRING THE PAIN
Pain delivered!
I am not only the Newey of this Series, but also the Engine Pope!
Looking forward to some Newey magic for Monaco!
How did dalmas race despite getting knocked out of pre qualifying
Haha, well spotted :D Well, because all the fiddling with the mods and carsets etc. between different sessions is quite complicated and time consuming, I've cut corners a bit. So the only changing factor between the race and pre-qualifying is Friedrich Bang and whether he qualifies or not. Sorry for the immersion breaker :(
@@TedMeat all good i was just checking to see if i was going insane, can easily be retconned into dalmas purchasing a seat or something like that
Yes finally a new Episode !!!
It was my pleasure! (or pain)
11:50
The engine in the back of this ''car'' sounds like the Honda V10 McLaren had during that season. Once again, that was a brutal prequalifying session. At least, you could take Tamburello and Villeneuve flat out. For the rest, ouch. Horrendous car. Oversteer and understeer in the same lap, depending of where you were on the circuit, inefficient under breaking and lacking engine power. The total package or almost for a massive struggle.
Yes, a horrible car :D And thank you for educating me, because I've always thought Honda had V12s in 1990, but apparently they changed to V12 for the 1991 season. Was kinda hard to find an appropriate engine sound for the Subaru flat 12 and the sound is of Honda V10 from 1989 so you were pretty damn close :D
@@TedMeat I believe McLaren tried a Honda V12 during a testing session held on the Silverstone circuit in the summer of 1990 only on Ayrton Senna's car. After that season, Honda fully commited to a V12 engine for 1991. Great sound(both their V10 and V12).
Great to have the series back! But why don't you max out revs in top gear? Shorten those ratios.
The cunning plan was to have a bit of extra for the 6th gear for slipstreaming. Obviously I failed :D
20:45 ish this was pain. I was hopefull because I thought "nice and there easily is another second in it. But 5? Uff... Poor Nigel lost a place to Piquet there. This game is kinda realistic, init?
Yeah, for a moment I was a bit hopeful as well. Which is good of course, because in order to achieve maximum pain, you first have to have some hope.
The development programme's Motto at the beginning was: "It's evolving, but backwards (in italian)"
"Si sta evolvendo, ma all'indietro"
@@resur_84 grazie mille, mate😅😂
Why is the car only hitting 248 km/h? You should be able to hit 280-290 on the front straight in a 1990 F1 car.
I'm driving a Coloni Subaru that only had 500 bhp in 1990. Also the car handles so horribly I had to have too much downforce to keep it on track :D Welcome to the season of pain!
You should try NASCAR Season 2003 with the NNT INDYCAR 2020 mod. And see how you like that. It runs on Trans Am physics and feels really good.
N2003 has always been on my list but I didn't get it to work on my PC. Would have had to change some security settings on BIOS but I wasn't willing to do that cause I use the same PC for my business. However nowadays I have a Windows 7 PC for retro-gaming, so perhaps that would run it :)
I would swap GP3 and GP2 around. GP3 is a technically superior evolution of GP2, nothing more.
I know it always seems to work, but I worry about getting lapped by the pace car every time you or Jake pit the second the yellow comes out.
Yeah, I don't know if I actually should have stayed out for one lap to catch Little Al. Because at that point he was able to lap me, perhaps I would have stayed on the lead lap had I done it differently?
Damn i've got the same stache as Bang 😂
How'bout hair?
Hi. Waiting for a new episode of the season of pain 😅
Done :D
Well done, Ted well deserved podium 😊
Thank you, was a bit lucky the get it but I take it :) Too bad I messed up the fight for the win, would have been epic!
Ted why don’t you change those invisible car teams to “0” for Power in GP2Edit? I’ve just tried this as a quick test and they don’t have any power to leave the pit box - they’ll not set a lap time at all.
Yep, that's true. But then that causes most of the "real drivers" not going to the track at all and then they don't get times on the table. I guess it's because even the invisible cars don't seem to move, the game still counts them going out (they're just not moving because 0 power) and there's some sort of a limit of how many cars can be on the track at the same time. I've tried to find a way to change this limit in the editors but no luck so far.
@@TedMeat ahhh!! Of course you’d already tried this simple method. That’s a shame, ah well :)
Great day to be from Hämeenlinna
you miss all the apex
Stunning programming for 8-bit, and especially for C64 (not exactly lauded for its 3D capabilities even compared to other 8 bit systems).
I can't believe I became one of those that rather than playing video games watches other playing video games :D btw why not playing GPL with one of the awesome upgrades? If i remember well they would be much nicer to the eyes.
I love this series. Classic F1 content is the best ! Looking forward to a new episode.
Good job man, your videos are really enjoyable!!
Thank you, great to hear you enjoy :)
When is a new episode online?
If all goes according to plan, it'll be out next week. I'm currently quite busy so the progress is a bit slow.
Because this format is very unique . It's not like winning the championship with a Forti, like in every other racing games. It's more like whining the championship with Coloni Subaru 🫠😋
The coloni is a fridge on wheel
again, that graining on GP3 graphic makes it look so much cooler than GP4, is it possible to get the same on platichy GP4?
Probably if you just tune down the graphics you'll get something similar, but it'll probably not look like nice GP3 but like ugly GP4 :D
Alt title My day of Pain
"I have to go defen-SIII!!-ve" has to be one of your best comments ever. To be included in every promo or other Bang material. Would be an instant meme, were you a mass influencer! But then you repeat it: "shoud I just go in and take..." BONG! "...inters?" I don't know if you'll do another GP4 season but I'd love to watch more GP4 wet races. I also think the AI gets overpowered in the wet but I believe there's room for improvement. What I mean is I never saw a human driver taming the GP4 AI in the wet but I think it's possible. You should go for the Schumacher approach. This is seldom acknowledged and never discussed. Before Spain 1996 Schumi was not the Regenmeister. Yes, he impressed in Spain 91 and 92. He won in changing conditions in Belgium 92 and Nurburg 95. But in other races wasn't that special (like Japan 93). He crashed out of Donington, Imola 95 and Monaco 96. I think once I read (but I'm not sure) that after the Monaco 96 1st lap débâcle (a likely win thrown away), he changed approach immediately. From there, it seemed like every time there was a chance of rain, Schumi would bet on making the car perfect for wet. Setups and tyres. And then it started: Spain 96, Monaco 97, Belgium 97, Britain 98, and other minors, I think, like Nurburgring 00. Only in Brasil 03 the bad luck returned. I think Bang should do the same. Risk of rain? Put the setup with soft springs and etc. (You do a lot better than me by now, especially in GP4!). And go for wet tyres. Risk of monsoon? Go for monsoon tyres. The race start was a tough call and, even if soft wets might have been better, I think covering the risk for degrading was reasonable. But at your pit stop the track was so wet that "slicks" had to be the worst of the 3 options! Unless you were trying to do a Senna Spa 92 thing, but that backfired on Senna! I was hoping you'd choose inters and maybe go for a short 2nd stint, like 15 or even 10 laps, do a banzai stint like Schumacher in Hungary 98, and gamble on going for dry hards for a final long stint and take it to the end. Even wet softs would have been better than drys. Yes, the track dried out kind of quickly, but the risk of crashing in a wet track was just too big. Even if 15 laps on inters were to much, you would have been be quick and safe in the meantime. So, I say: avoid risks, gamble on safety and on going to the pits and then aggressively getting back on the perfect tyres. Remember that Prost pitted 7 times in Donington and yet he got a podium! Let's make this our Monaco 96 moment and get back to work!
Thanks for the tips mate! I think my approach will be a lot like that in the future, i'll just forget about tyre wear and what the pit crew says and go for max grip all the time :)
I played this game a lot but i don't remember broken cars on side of road before.
The brownishyello / white car that passed you at 10:05 sometime wins the race... Start far but very powerful
