Does anyone remember Monster Truck Madness and It's hideous direct3d?
Apparently Cart is designed under the same graphics engine and it may even
be possible to use the MTM track editor with Cart. MTM is worse with my 3DFX
then without, does not draw ahead more than 20 metres and has annoying
pauses all the time. Sounds like the same problems as Cart to me
Actually the opposite. CART plays much better with a 3DFX card then without!
To see the difference hit F4 and toggle between windowed, full screen with
title bar, and full screen mode. The full screen mode is the only one that
is hardware accelerated, the other two modes will be software rendered. You
should be able to see a noticeable difference in the frame rate (type FRAME
to view frame rate) and graphics quality.

By your logic: I test drive a real car, don't like it, tell the sales
man
and he tells me, to build my own or shut up. Get real!

I think we have a perfect right to complain about a product where a
"demo" is being made available for the very reason of testing the
reaction. Why do you think the 'Trial' version was made available?
If we didn't give any "negatives" then the developers would assume
(rightly) that its product was nothing short of perfection!
Bruce
Actually when I recently added my "Pure 3d - Voodoo" to my system and
fired up MTM, I was impressed with the increase in performance vs.s my
"Intense 3d - Rendtion". Not worlds apart but definitely able to turn
on more "eye candy" with the voodoo active, and still remain fairly
fluent although far from any of the Voodoo or Rendition ported titles
such as N2, ICR2, GLQuake, VQuake, JFIII, which obviously don't rely
on good ole "Direct 3d acceleration" under W95.
Damn! You mean I wasted $150 on this Intense 3d and $180 on my Pure 3d
as far as expecting Direct 3d performance to roxer? What
type/make/model of card should I aim for to get that "rocking" Direct
3d performance? I expect consistent 25-30 fps or higher with no drops,
no framerate hits under 10 fps when I have the "smoke n stuff" turned
on, no "looks like someone just scrambled all the graphics and made a
puzzle of the landscape" if I happen to spin around and face the wrong
way on the track, ect... Can ya find me one of these beast's? I may
actually buy one if its competitive in price with the "Rendition's and
Voodoo's".
Darn it again! That takes all the fun out of it. Now we are asked to
"take it or leave it" and not complain, point-out shortcomings, push
the software industry, ect... and keep are little mouths/keyboards
quiet?
Hell, I'm not one to jump in here either and just complain, rant, and
***everyone off but when such a "touted and hyped" title by A or
should I say THE major software industry leader in Microsoft is cut
loose in such a form as this CPR Demo displays then I can't help but
jump in here and argue and plead my points. This company is missing
one major point IMHO and that is "Direct 3d" is NOT yet a suitable
platform to be releasing an auto simulator on, PERIOD! Please feel
free to prove me wrong.

Oh, well! I went from 10 fps (not acc.) to 15 fps (acc.)...Wow!

I probably blurted that out because I have a Monster 3D :-)

It may depend on your CPU. I upgraded (not for CPR but just
upgraded in general) to a P5-200MMX. My framerate went from
19-20 to 27-30 constant frames.

BTW, I compared my Intense 3D performance (yupp, I own both and yes, I'm
crazy 8^) with my Monster 3D and there was almost no difference!
D3D - the black hole (sp?) sucks it all...
