The VGP3 website has been restyled!
Welcome to the VGP3 Engine Website
The VGP3 engine, foundation of the Virtual Grand Prix 3 racing game, is a real-time car simulation project developed by Paolo Cattani and his staff. The VGP3 engine offers unique features such as custom quasi-finite elements algorithms for the simulation of deformable tyres, an advanced Artificial Intelligence actually able to "learn" any new track layout and to behave in a very human way, strong netcode for multiplayer experience and support for immersive technologies such as OpenGL-compliant true 3d stereoscopic graphics cards or D-BOX's motion technology.
The VGP3 engine extreme realism has roots in its "real world" origins. It was originally developed by Paolo Cattani at AlasSoft's R&D department as a set of tools to quickly prototype performing setups for in-house assembled kit cars. Coupled with a strong AI intended to simulate a human driver for consistent lap-times comparisons, it eventually evolved into a full-featured simulator.
The VGP3 engine can be installed on any modern PC running the Windows (XP or better) or Mac OS X operating systems (Tiger or better, both PowerPC and x86 architectures supported) equipped with good quality USB steering wheel and pedals. An OpenGL-compliant graphics card with at least 256 Mbytes of graphics RAM is also required.
