    If GPL physics run at 288hz is it a mere coincidence that the max fps is
(288 / 8) =36fps?
If there were some way to change that multiple to say 5, our max fps would
be roughly 58 fps.  Something for all you math majors to chew on.

I'm VERY happy GPL doesn't go higher than 36fps, otherwise you would see
people here recommending me to get rid of my P2-233 that is able to handle
36fps, but not much higher.

my P2-233 that is able to handle 36fps, but not much higher.

To get 36 fps with a 233 you must have all the details off and no ai cars.
You aren't enjoying the real GPL.

Don't get me wrong, I'd give a nut for a PIII 600 and a voodoo III 3000, but
if find GPL completely acceptable and enjoyable.

btw how do u save a replay?

graphix turned ON.

From Lol SpeedFreek

Buttons from left to right:

I<<  = go back to *start* of replay.
<<   = rewind (press more than once to speed up rewind)
I<   = rewind one frame at a time.
II>  = Toggles between play/pause.

The *other* buttons do the following....

Button that looks like a roll of film = press once to *start* saving a
reply, press a second time to *stop* saving a replay. It's like an
*edit* or *record* button?

Button that looks like a minature file folder = saves the *whole*
replay of the last few laps without any editing.

Button that looks like two overlapped boxes = toggles between the
window TV picture of the replay and a full screen replay.

Last button on right = toggles between the different camera views which
are available.

So to save a fast lap (or laps) as a replay.....

1) Once you have completed the lap, (or laps) press escape to go back to
the pre-race screen.
2) Rewind the replay to where you want to *start*, eg:- usually just
before you start the fast lap?
3) Pause the replay.
4) Press the record/edit button (press once)to start saving the replay.
5) Allow the replay to run until your fast lap has finished (or fast
forward to where you want to stop recording).
6) Press the record/edit button (press once) to stop recording the
replay.
7) A box will appear, you should type in a filename for the replay.

Thats it, you should now have a recording of your fast lap, which you
can view anytime by going back to the first options screen, and
selecting view replay, then select the appropriate file to view.

So ppl who have framerate problems, I suggest that the first thing to do is
to put detail BIAS bar to full left and then try again.

But hey, in singleplayermode, with more than 4-5 cars in vision, you never
get those 36fps, neither did I with my old P2 266...
But it doesn't matter if you race online, because you can see only 4 cars
ahead and 1 behind. And furthermore, online it's not _your_ PC doing all the
calculation for other cars.
