How do you display the frame rate in CART?

Type "FRAME" while playing the game. Check out The APEX

Racing.

Thanks

Well, that's a matter of opinion... some people here will tell you
that any sim is "unplayable" at anything less than 30 fps...
Personally, I think a frame rate of 15 is very playable and very
enjoyable and I wouldn't complain about it... I'll sacrifice frame
rate to add more graphics - i.e. I've only got a P-133 and the
last thing I'm going to do to get better frame rate is turn off the
***pit... to me, it's just not fun anymore if you don't have a
***pit...

Now, I'm not a real serious "simmer". I play for fun. Some
people need a fast fps to judge braking points and turn in points
and to get into a good rhythm... so, if you're like me, I'd say 15
fps is pretty good... if you're a die-hard,you might say 25 fps is
the absolute minimum "good" frame rate...

Anyway, the bottom line is, are *you* happy with what you've
got? And, as with so many other things in life, it doesn't really
matter what we think....... :-)
