I'd follow the path 1) above. I have been trying to get hang of Nascar
w/ SVGA, but I can't just run it smoothly enough. My system is
Pe90/24MB/Diamond Stealth SE 1MB, and it runs ok with track and grass
details off, but somehow it still feels 'jerky' even at 18-20 fps.
There is a huge difference in maneuverability... the same setup with
SVGA takes me to the walls frequently (even with all details off),
with plain VGA (full detail) it's much easier to drive. Go figure...
In some, much lesser extent this applies to ICR2 too. But even then, I
somehow prefer ICR 1 for 'fun' playing. Perhaps I'm just a lousy
driver.
BTW: I'm using Gravis Firebird as a controller. This is a nice stick
as all necessary controls/views can be programmed in the ~10 buttons
available. And the throttle control is nice. I'd like to try some of
the cheaper wheels/yokes: do you have any experience about Suncom
G-Force yoke ?
