WTF
Why are people full of hatred like this, if you like the 2D stick to it or if 3D is what you prefer God be praise
You don't have to comdemn the game because as far as am concern this is the best competitive racing manager game ever. Thumb up for igp manager for the progress and improvement, I hope to see more in the future, keep up the good work
All change... Same hate...
I think you took the wrong direction. You killed 2D topdown view (what I expected from a driving manager game) making it unplayable...
First hats and glasses, then 3D visual. But still there are the usual problems. There are no right priorities. Have you ever heard anyone complain about the bird's eye view?... Come on!
The 3D view, it's a nonsense* in a race managment game IMO. It's not a real driving game although you can adjust the push level and the boost.
the stand alone link for mac is incorrect!
when you choose the 3D option it send you to a broken link - https://static.igpmangaer.com/standalone/osx/iGPManager.zip
but i found out that if you correct the link to - https://static.igpmanager.com/standalone/osx/iGPManager.zip
it works!
From a "Moaner", this update actually isn't bad. It's a good start to implementing 3D. It does look good and gives the game more texture. People have the option to continue using 2D, which is fine. I do hope once 3D is completely implemented we get major updates that explore thoroughly the sim management aspect of the game, as that is the main draw for most managers. Good work though devs!
WTF did you do?? You realise that you just killed the game completely, right??
