Avoid playing when tired or suffering from lack of sleep. Always play in a brightly lighted room, and stay as far from the television screen as possible. Some people experience epileptic seizures when viewing flashing lights or patterns in our daily environment. [. . . ] It will flash more intensely when everyone else is ready and waiting for you. Once everyone has clicked on ready all other linking options will be greyed out and unavailable to you. Weather Screen Once all players have clicked Ready you will be taken to the Weather Network screen. This is similar to the standard Grand Prix 3 Weather screen but also has options for going to the Last Minute Changes screen (and then Car Setup), to Chat or Leave the session. You also have option to Continue/Go Back. Click on the flashing Ready button to indicate you are ready to race. Last Minute Changes (Network) Screen This summarises the weather/track and sky conditions and has a Driver list, Pitstop Strategy settings and Tyre choice. You can also access Car Setup from here as well as the Chat and Leave Session options. · Click Continue and Ready to get racing. The Two-Player Link Screen When you link up for a 2-player session you will access the Two-Player Link screen which will show you the Selected Drivers (This Machine and Other Machine). You can also choose a different Driver and you will be taken to the Driver Select Screen. If you click on Other Machine control will pass to the other machine player to reselect a driver and then return to This Machine. · Click the Continue button to go to the Main Menu. The 2-player game has the following quick keys: Send Message to other player = CTRL + M Host release menu control to other player = CTRL + R Hang Up = CTRL + H `Hotseat' Multiplayer Games Two or more players can enjoy a Grand Prix 3 `multiplayer' game on the same computer by selecting a Hotseat game. To set up Hotseat mode you must select more than one driver in the Driver Select screen (accessed from the Main Menu). The central information panel in the Driver Select screen will show, for example, `2 Drivers Selected. Hotseat games can be played by any number of players up to the maximum number of drivers that can start a race. The Car Setup screen functions in the usual way (see page 70), simply select a driver from the list and enter the Car Setup screen for that driver's car. The game will allocate equal time slots to each human driver in a race. For example, if two players want to compete in a ten lap race, they each select a driver from the Driver Select screen. The computer then chooses one human driver to drive first and drives the opponent's car (plus all the other cars) in the race. The computer then allocates equal driving time to each human driver.
