Anyone know how to trick GP3 into thinking that 0.7 sec is a full second?
That way GP3 would run at 36fpg instead of 25. I just can't play the thing
at 25fps :-( I find graphics very nice but at 25fps it's unplayable

being broke for the past few months and unable to upgrade the computer for
GP3 :-) I would've killed GC with my bare hands if i had upgraded my
computer only to find out that GP3 is still limited at 25fps.
I don't have a wheel at the moment and so i tried the game with keyboard
 worked great in GP2 ) and i can't really evaluate the physics. With no
driving aids the game is easy. Maybe this is because it's basically a GP2
and it's not new to me. Lots of understeer! I think that is the reason why
GP3 is very easy with keyboard as the back of the car will almost never step
out. It's probably a different story with a FF wheel.
The first impresion: GP3 is a great game ( maybe even sim ) with a BIG
drawback - 25fps limit. Maybe i'll get used to it but i can't imagine being
able to make an entry to the corner with graphics doing chop-chop-chop....

25 fps is unplayable? Right...

I find 25fps just fine, actually the test reults put mine at 23.2 and i have no
probs with that

How come I knew GP3 was limited to 25 fps as long as 9 months ago.  Maybe
you should visited some GP3 sites once in a while...
I agree that 25 fps isn't enough though.
