I downloaded this so called Great Rally Sim and cannot hardly get it past
the Graphics setup screen.( BTW, I didn't know 3dfx was also HAL ?)
Any special 3dfx settings needed ?
or
do I have a computer too outdated for this Sim ??????
Any suggestions ?????????????
As always, THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

However after my email post I first updated my Voodoo 3 drivers since I was
using older drivers for Colin McRae Racing 2.
I then ran Rally Xtreme in numerous graphic modes and the FPS is just TOO
slow.
Therefore, I assume that my PIII 450 mhz is just too outdated for this new
generation Sim
Does that make sense ????
and
does everyone agree that PIII 450's are ancient ?????
THANKS !!!!!!!!

Anywhow, for you nor Doug there was no indication of the game first under
and then overreacting to your inputs?? Where did you download the demo and
how big was the file? -I got mine from FilePlanet at 45Mb.
BTW: as there is no FF in the demo for me I lack any surface feel, so
another question begs... are you experiencing any force feedback from the
game?

Tough call since I am still fairly new to driving sims and have no
experience with real life racing. Plus I was too busy laughing like a
maniac every time I went off the road backwards. ;o) But I thought it
felt right for driving on dirt at insane speeds. At first not much
response, then the tail goes out, then good luck getting it back in
line. If I slowed down it was less of a problem, which made me think it
was not a controller problem but simply the physics of the game. Also I
think rally racers make a lot of use of the handbrake to provoke power
slides. The handbrake is on the spacebar. I didn't discover that until
after the last time I played, I will have to remember to try that next
time - maybe the secret is to keep the power on and swing the ass out
using the handbrake. Like I said, I have no real experience with this,
but it seems like somebody told me that once.
I can't remember where I got it but it is the same size as yours so I'm
pretty sure it is the same thing.
I did not get any FF, and I wonder if that is part of the problem. We
are so used to games that give us some feel for the steering that
playing without FF, and particularly in a game that calls for a lot of
sliding, becomes very difficult.
The point is, I'd have no problem with a game that required a GF2 to get a
good framerate if it actually had decent graphics. But this game would have
looked average 3 years ago. I can't see any reason why they couldn't get
this game running at a decent framerate on a V3 - there just isn't enough
geometry in the game to justify needing a GF2.
