I am just getting back into sims after long time off, and ran into this
problem. I am assuming there is a really simple fix for this but, I
have no idea what it is.
Thanks,
Pat

Have you selected the directX video option? Not 3dfx or software. What
are the rest of your system specs.
You can lower track and world detail, reduce the # of cars etc etc.

I believe it maxs out at 30-32 fps, if thats what you're getting thats all there was, IIRC.

The game is capped at 30 fps. I have also noticed that in the***pit view
FSAA will really drag down the fps. In the chase views its fine. I'm
guessing that it has something to do with the dash overlay.

Where on earth did you come up with a FPS cap? This isnt GPL. I ran N3
with a Celery 566 OC'd and a GF2 GTX just fine at 40-50 FPS.. Sounds like
he configured for the software renderer.

I'm scratching my head on this one. I guess I was thinking of N4. Oh
yeah, N3 was the Celery 300a/V3 OC'd LOL. Dam alzheimers vbg..

Mitch <<<<--- having a really bad week heh..

Did N3 even have a FPS counter?

Yes, alt-f or ctrl-f to toggle it on/off...
