Excellent!   Thanks Rob.

Yeah..if a 1900Ghz computer can't run it..what can?  I'm stuck with a lowly
1Ghz P3 myself.

I run this piece of junk sim at only 105 fps in test mode and 45 fps full
graphics full grid (1024x768 32-bit).  What a hunk of ***;-).

AMD 1600+
512 MB DDR2100 Ram
GF3 Ti 500

PS-A little tweaking based on sensible research did the trick for me.

I have a PIII 700  o/c to 805 and  a Geforce2 GTS 64MB.   It runs great!

Please share the tweaks with us! I have tried many drivers, FRAP,
windowed mode, etc. Not much success yet with my old geforce 256
DDR...

I agree. Isn't it terrible when you can barely get 50fps at the start?!?

Of course, mine's a XP1800+ with a Radeon 8500.

Warlock!

It's your video card. I put in an ATI 8500 yesterday and F12001 runs
superbly on it. No need to use windowed mode anymore and the cars are
displaying in the mirrors correctly. Now if ATI would just fix the missing
textures problem in FS2002.... :-(

Hi Jerry:

GF3 Ti 500 Det. 22.80's

Windowedmode=1 (config.ini file)
Same desktop as game: 1024x768 32-bit
FSAA and Vsync: UNCHECKED (Trying FSAA=BSOD)
All graphics full except other cars, set to med or low (I forget but this is
important since BIG textures for cars=fps hit).
FRAPS 1.5 running (works with or without fraps, I used fraps to get fps).

Monaco hot laps: 105+
Monaco race full field, mid pack: 40 start of race and 45-80 fps during
race.
