JEB in Vegas

Just got my copy yesterday and fired it up on my P5-166
Set it up for SVGA FULL DETAIL and got a clean 17fps which was simply great.
The fps gets even faster when there are less cars on the screen ( a good
incentive to stay in 1st place)

All of the reports about how bad this game peforms had me scared but after
playing it firsthand I can testify that this game KICKS ASS if you have the
horses to play it.

My only complaint (and its a minor point) is the inability to downshift while
accelerating.  This is going to take some getting used to and probably***me
up for NASCAR, ICR2 and NFS.  Aside from this (personal) issue the game is the
best driving sim I've ever played and ICR2 and NASCAR may be getting zipped up
for awhile.

So DON'T fall for the bad press you've been reading.  GET THIS GAME!!

          Have to agree with you there.  I wasn't expecting much from my P133
after I read some of the comments here.  Granted, I can't have *all* the
textures on, but I have it on full detail, and only about 4 textures off, and it
looks simply *incredible* and it plays as smoothly and quickly as I would like
it to (on almost all the tracks).  The game simply does *not* need a P-600 to
look fantastic, as so many here have suggested.  (And my god is the game fun...)

You can use the left Alt key for downshift instead of the space-brake way -- much
better!  Did you never play the prequel?  I'd say most purist keyboarders do this
too, am I right?
