field down to 6 drawing 6 cars. Turned off mirrors and had
a great smooth game with all other details just about maxed
in 640x480. Not a big hit in 800x600. It looks like the main
fps hit then is no Glide and especially no Glide wrapper for
tweaking the mirror refreash rate. Other than that it's just
about as smooth as GPL. I use the rear view instead of
the mirrors and in rollbar I find the voice in the headset helps
with the content maxed. The rollbar view hits the fps just
a little more, but damn it looks good with the environment
mapping and all the head movement. It really gives a
sensation of speed and g-forces.
I was trading places with Fisichella at Barcelona and got up
behind him coming out of the last turn thinking "Here we go,
pass the computer drone on the straight." But he would
have none of that. I couldn't simply outrun him, so I had
to outbrake him trailing into the second 180. Nearly lost it.
So far, I've been awful at Monaco. The landmarks keep
triggering F1RS habits when I need to think GPL.
