rec.autos.simulators

As some of you know I am trying to trying to develop a realistic racing
sim.  I have been experimenting with direct 3d in the past few weeks and
have managed to fling something together.  Please dont laugh - it is
rather primitive ;).  I got a friend to test it, but it wouldnt work on
his machine for some reason (although it works on 5 other PCs I have
tested it on).  I just want to make sure that it isnt a fault in my code.

The physics work that I have done hasnt been added to the demo, this is
really just to check that the gfx part is working before I go any deeper .

The one good thing in it is the LMP car model that was made by Chris
Doughty (aka) CD_quiksilver :)

I will be updating my site as regularly as possible (without it becoming
a full-time job :)).

I will update the front page to give a little more information tonight,
but until then : -

***It needs DIRECTX 8****

Please read the instructions.txt as the "controls" aren't exactly user
friendly :)

Thanks for listening to my ramblings :)

All the best,
Ash

Your system should be great, cant understand why it wouldnt work.  I'll
have a look at the dhEngine code when I get home.  I am using XP + GF2
to develop.

Thanks again for the feedback

Thanks Robin, I was interested in seeing how it reacted to a voodoo :)

Thanks again!

 Don't want you just looking after the nVidia crowd. ;)

Thanks for letting me know!  I thought 1024 textures wouldnt work on voodoo
3's?

All the best,

I have almost implemented selectable car cams :)  Now I have to figure out
why Doug's crashed :/

Glad its working!

Works fine here, in both full-screen & windowed modes. FRAPS reports
a steady 41-42fps, if that's any use to you.

System: Intel P4-1.5GHz, 256MB DDR RAM, GeForce 2 MX400 (64 MB),
WinXP Home, running in 800x600x16-bit colour.

55 fps according to FRAPS. There was an odd green "wall" when the viewpoint was
inside the grey area.
