Hi Matthew,
I have a P2/333, 64mb, V2 12mb, SBAWE64. Try reducing the graphics a bit.
The 333 is too slow to render everything GPL has to offer.
My config:
* All textures in front
* No textures in mirrors
* Turn off dynamic lighting and spectular highlights.
* Turn off dirt, dust and skids
* Set detail bias slide full left for 0%
* Set resolution to 800x600 (I have a V2 12mb card and 800 is as fast as
640)
* Set mirrors to cars only
* Set objects to ALL.
I get 36 fps everywhere, even on the grid. It just drops down to 34 or so
at the hairpin at Rouen and such.
It may look bad, but FPS count in GPL. I turn everything back on when
viewing replays.
Jason.
