well... I finally found my framerate solution.....  
after finding that the only way I could get around the track ,was with most
of the driver aids on, I then found that I could let go of the wheel, and
it would go around the track for me.... then....while it was doing
this....I typed "frame", and found that I have on average, about a 9 to 11
framerate.... with all eye candy turned off......
not to mention that now my T2 just SUX in win95 on N2.... though I dont
think thats the game's fault.... but rather something that happened when I
switched to directx5.... at any rate....anything which messes with my N2
(where I currently enjoy about a 22 to 25 framerate, with a couple of
graphics on) has to go!!!

seems to be a flashy sim....and probably will be killer in the end....
for those who have the machines....

But I'm not one of them.... :(  

not slamming it.... by the way.....just saying, if your machine doesnt
measure up,  the framerate solution is deletion....

maybe when I hit the lotto, I'll get the full version.....
and a 400Mhz Pentium.... or whatever's out by then  :)

Couldn't there be a choice other than just 640x480 for the D3D option???? If
you could set the resolution to 512x384 then perhaps the framerate would
improve significantly.  I know that when I switch from 640x480 to 521x384 in
glquake I get like 10-12 FPS increase. Also I get a pretty good increase
with MotoRacer in 512x384 also..

Use the [ and ] keys to adjust your output window size.  This will
effectively lower the output resolution, and speed up your frame rate.

so once again, not slamming the game, as much as my equipment....
but I *do* see that folks with equipment far above and beyond the
recommended requirements are also having problems....albeit on a lesser
scale.  My main problem with switching to directx5 and installing this
game, was what it did to my T2 in win 95.... I still don't have it right,
yet....

like I also said earlier...I'm sure this game has potential, for those with
the right equipment.... I'm just not one of them...  :)

I don't consider this a viable option, mainly because it doesn't actually
 shrink your image -- it CROPS it.  This means that you start losing your
 mirrors.
